Data Strategy Intern - The 2026 Come Up Internship Program
Who We Are
Translation is a well-established independent agency and thriving music business, built to help ambitious brands harness the power of culture to solve their biggest challenges. As a unique mix of experts in culture, technology, and storytelling, we are united by a passion to grow brands in ways that advertising alone can never do.
We are an entrepreneurial business – not a traditional “ad agency.” That means we value resourcefulness and tenacity just as much as we value creativity and intelligence. We’re unapologetically ambitious, but we’re also a tight-knit crew.
You should apply for the Data Strategy internship if…
You’re always asking, “why?” You push past what data merely says and are deeply intrigued to unpack what it is telling us. You are a beneath-the-surface level thinker who is curious about how data, culture, and creativity intersect, and excited by the idea of using data to shape ideas, not just report on performance. You enjoy digging into social, audience, and behavioral data, spotting patterns, and turning messy inputs into clear insights that inform strategy and creative work. You’re detail-oriented, proactive, and eager to learn how data can influence everything from campaign planning to cultural storytelling to business growth.
What You'll Do
- Support social listening, audience research, and performance analysis to uncover cultural and consumer insights
- Help build and QA dashboards, trackers, and simple data models across platforms (social, web, brand lift, etc.)
- Analyze campaign performance and translate findings into clear, visual, and compelling narratives
- Assist in developing insight frameworks, audience segments, and measurement approaches for brand and culture projects
- Partner with strategists and creatives to bring data into early-stage thinking, not just reporting
Come Up Internship
As an intern at UMT, you are an integrated member of the team. You’ll spend 10 weeks gaining the kind of "hands-on" experience that actually moves the needle.
Real Work, Real Impact: You’ll be embedded in client and internal projects. You won't just watch—you'll contribute to deliverables that go out the door.
Master the Industry Stack: We’ll get you under the hood of the professional tools, software, and platforms used by the best in the business, ensuring you leave with a market-ready skill set.
Curated Professional Development: Beyond daily tasks, you’ll participate in "The Come Up" workshops designed to bridge the gap between classroom theory and industry execution.
Direct Access & Mentorship: You aren't just a face in the crowd. You’ll receive 1:1 mentorship from seasoned pros and have roundtables from Intern Alumni and UMT executives to learn how the business scales.
Network for the Future: Build lasting professional bonds with a cohort of high-performing peers and industry leaders in the heart of Brooklyn.
Minimum Qualifications
- Must be a rising senior or recent college graduate
- This internship is based out of our Brooklyn, NY office, required to be in-person Monday through Thursday
- Must to be able to attend the internship from June 2nd through August 7th
Not sure where you fit? You contain multitudes.
We’re looking for "multi-hyphenate" talent—the strategist who codes, or the creative who loves data. If your skill set doesn't fit into just one box, don't worry. Explore our range of disciplines and find where your unique DNA matches our needs. Feel free to apply for up to two different internship roles that align with your career goals - we want to see where you shine brightest.
