The Oxford English Dictionary defines an ‘intern’ as the following: Intern (noun) • a student or trainee who works, sometimes without pay, at a trade or occupation in order to gain work experience.

They’ve got it partially right.  But here is how Social Media Delivered defines an ‘intern’:

- They can explain why marketing is now most importantly a conversation

- They don't mind making funny viral videos while wearing a silly hat

- Their attention to detail is only the beginning…

- Multi-tasking on six different things is second nature

- They can write for inside the box but at the same time think outside of it

- Researching brands runs in their blood

- Comfortable with being addicted to caffeine and some type of candy

-  Sometimes they get so creative they scare themselves

- They sometimes doodle

- They enjoy wearing flip-flops to work

This summer, Social Media Delivered is seeking to fill approximately FOUR intern positions that will give us a chance to work with best, brightest, and most brand-aware minds that are out in the marketing-savvy sphere.  As crazy as it sounds we want those individuals who are aspiring to be the next, Scorsese, Picasso, Mozart, and/or Mark Twain.
