• To be exposed in more depth to a section of the agency they have interest in
• To become a part of that team over the course of the summer

• Project Management Shadowing

–      Additionally, each intern will spend one day shadowing a PM to see how the different components of the agency all fit together in the real world.

• Intern Project

–      Present to Leadership Team, Mentors and potentially clients

Wunderman / Z Academy Presentation

Thursday, Feb. 28 at 6:30 p.m.

Classroom 450C

Representatives from Wunderman, a member of the Young & Rubicam Group, are coming to SCAD to talk about Z AcademySM, the learning program for tech-savvy digital and design students. Advertising Age ranks Wunderman as the #1 digital and #1 CRM agency in the world.  Attend this presentation to find out how you can become a “Zed,” as they’re called. Zeds are not college interns, curious about the industry; rather, they are aspiring professionals looking to leverage their skills in real work experience. In many cases, they work on the agency’s largest global accounts, such as Best Buy, Citibank, Colgate, Coca-Cola, Ford, Microsoft, Nokia and Novartis, among others.

Presented by the office for career and alumni success.
