2026 New York Internship

New York, New York, United States

ABOUT THE ROLE 

Great work starts with a great foundation. And we hope to build a great foundation through our Summer Associate Program. Summer Associates dive into every detail of the business, working to gain an understanding of our clients, their growth aspirations, and what drives their customers. 
 
Summer Associates work with everyone in the firm, collaborating with colleagues across the organization. On any given project, you’ll interact with clients, Partners, Designers, Insights Specialists, Content Strategists, and many others from our rich multidisciplinary bench. The Summer Associate role is organized to cultivate a true understanding of our approach to consulting and develop the skills to get it done.  

YOUR DAY TO DAY 

While every day will be different, you can expect to: 

  • Gain a deep understanding of business and customers. 
    You’ll dig into industries, markets, and customer behaviors to understand how our clients grow and how shifting customer needs, digital trends, and market conditions may impact that growth. Through primary and secondary research, you’ll help uncover insights that drive transformation.

  • Collaborate on complex challenges with multidisciplinary teams. 
    Working side-by-side with strategists, designers, day-to-day client leads, you’ll help answer big strategic questions on growth, brand, marketing, and transformation. You may be shaping a new brand or exploring a market entry strategy; always contributing your perspective while learning to refine it with feedback. 

  • Contribute to creative problem-solving and storytelling. 
    You’ll analyze data, participate in ideation sessions, and help shape hypotheses. Then, you’ll turn research into persuasive deliverables (decks, frameworks, and presentations), learning how to frame the “so what” and present insightful, actionable recommendations to internal leaders and clients.

  • Play a role beyond project work. 
    Interns also contribute to firm growth and culture from supporting business development and proposals to helping shape office initiatives and thought leadership. It’s a chance to stretch your skills beyond client work and make your mark internally.

  • Learn fast, grow early, and lead with a point of view. 
    You’ll have exposure to senior teammates and clients, with mentorship and regular feedback to help you build confidence and sharpen your POV, in written presentations and as a voice in the room. You’ll practice articulating your perspective, iterating with teammates, and shaping best-in-class results. 

 WHAT WE LOOK FOR 

  • A great education: you should be a rising senior, earning a BA or BS degree with demonstrated academic performance  
  • Well-developed critical thinking capabilities, problem solving skills, and creative thinking 
  • Superior communication skills, both verbal and written  
  • Knowledge of, and passion for, brand, digital, and marketing strategy; and, how they impact business outcomes 
  • A curious mind with an unrelenting commitment to get to the answer, to test new approaches, learn new skills, and push others’ assumptions 
  • Confusion tolerance: comfort with ambiguity and the ability to adapt, flex, and change directions given client, project, and team circumstances, understanding the ever-changing business world

Due to the fact that our internship program is designed to provide full-time offers upon completion, we are unable to move forward with anyone requiring sponsorship now, or in the future.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection.

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
