Intern - Copy - 2023

Overview

An internship with GSW will give you the opportunity to work side by side with passionate writers, artists, marketing experts, strategists, and other business partners while developing powerful work for your portfolio. Our collaborative culture makes learning from the expertise of agency veterans accessible and allows you to share your own knowledge and experience in turn. You’ll be asked to speak up, challenge the status quo, and push your creative thinking to its limit. In short: you have a voice, and we want to hear it.

More than just day-to-day work, there will be opportunities to participate in events just for our interns: social events with fellow interns, career development workshops, community service projects, networking with senior leaders… just to name a few.

Job Requirements

GSW turns against the premise of doing the “same old.” Our culture is focused on collaborative, meaningful advertising and day-to-day interpersonal interaction. We value the diverse backgrounds of our team members, and everyone has the opportunity to provide input and be heard.

GSW is comprised of creative, motivated individuals who are all here for a reason. We welcome those who strive to work above and beyond their role, who voice their opinion and who are engaged in all aspects of the agency.

We work in scalable, collaborative teams that partner across disciplines and geographies to deliver integrated communications strategies that accelerate brand performance. In today’s fast-changing and complex environment, success lies in making connections: between science, emotion, and technology; between data, design and human insight. We’re able to make those connections because our medical communications, digital, advertising, public relations, data science, research and market access specialists work closely with each other and with healthcare experts, including physicians, pharmacists and advocates. Together, we are the connected healthcare partner tapping rich insights to drive innovation, change behavior and pioneer a new era of accountable marketing.
