Marketing & Communications Intern

Program Details

• Duration: 4-month internship program
• Dates: September 1 – December 31, 2026
• Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours per week
• Location: On-site at Antenna's New York City office, 3 days/week in-office
• Compensation: Paid internship at $17–$20/hour, determined based on experience and qualifications

What You'll Do

• Support live client work across public relations, digital, and creative — contributing to campaigns that span earned media, content, and paid performance channels
• Build and maintain media lists that the team actually relies on to track coverage, contacts, and campaign momentum
• Monitor news cycles and social conversations to surface the moments that matter and flag them for the team in real time
• Draft social content and communications materials that are sharp, on-brand, and ready to use (not just a starting point)
• Prepare reports and summaries that synthesize information clearly and help clients understand what's working
• Research opportunities — industry awards, events, speaking opportunities, and emerging trends — that help position Antenna's clients as voices worth listening to
• Participate in internal strategy sessions and client meetings — as a contributor, not a spectator

What You'll Learn

• How earned media, creative, and performance marketing work together — and how to think across multiple disciplines
• The full lifecycle of a client campaign, from brief through measurement
• How integrated agency teams are structured, how decisions get made, and how great work gets done
• Media relations fundamentals: how to build a list, craft a pitch, and understand what journalists and editors actually want
• The tools, frameworks, and instincts that shape a career in modern communications

Who You Are

• Curiosity that shows up. You're drawn to ideas, trends, and conversations across industries — and you bring what you find into your work.
• Clear, confident communication. You write well, you listen actively, and you know how to tailor your message to your audience.
• Attention to detail without losing the bigger picture. You catch what others miss, and you understand why it matters.
• Initiative over instruction. You don't wait to be told what to do next — you ask questions, spot gaps, and move.
• Comfort with ambiguity. Agency life moves fast. You adapt, prioritize, and figure it out.
• AI-native instincts. You already use AI tools in how you work and learn — and you're eager to bring what you know to shape the future of work.
• Familiarity with Google Suite, Microsoft Office, and social platforms; experience with media monitoring or CMS tools is a plus, not a requirement.
• Currently pursuing — or recently completed — a degree in Communications, Marketing, Journalism, Public Relations, or a related field.
