Internships

WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE ANY OPENINGS AT THIS TIME. PLEASE KEEP CHECKING BACK!

Through our Internship program, we have helped broaden industry knowledge for students in Marketing, Communications, and PR, as well as Accounting, Statistics and Software Development.

Media Link has hosted over 100 interns over the years. The company is recognized as an International Internship provider through CIEE: Council on International Educational Exchange.

We are more than just an “Ad Agency”. Our Interns receive hands-on experience working within many areas of our company for local, regional and national clients. For one, we have extensive experience working with the news media through regional and national public relations and media outreach.  Area politicians tell us we are the only agency in the area with direct newsroom experience. Learn more about our services.

Traditional education meets modern technology. Our marketing firm developed its own proprietary media buying software, Media Link Software™.  In August 2011, we began marketing this product to other advertising agencies and other large media buyers nationwide. Our Interns are given opportunities to work directly within this software, lending them insight in the science of planning, implementation and post-campaign analysis.

Determination, hard work and tenacity are key values within our team. Media Link is one of the four marketing firms in the State of Illinois and the only marketing firm in the State of Iowa certified as an 8(a) SDB woman-owned small business. Partnering with Media Link helps organizations meet diversity goals. Learn more about our certifications, which speak to our agency’s attention to detail and perseverance.

We seek a detail-oriented college student who is majoring in advertising, marketing, public relations, journalism, communications or a related field. Interns should be able to commit 10-15 hours per week when Media Link is open, Monday-Friday, 8am – 5pm.
