The ideal candidate is:

This is a hybrid position based in the Tampa Bay area. Candidates must be able to meet with the Strass Collins team in person for at least part of the day on Wednesdays. The remainder of the internship schedule can be arranged around the intern's classes and other commitments, with work generally completed remotely.

Occasional local errands, client-related preparation, or event support may also be part of the role, so reliable transportation in the Tampa area is required.

We anticipate approximately 10-15 hours per week, with some flexibility depending on the intern's school schedule and our workload.

This internship offers exposure to the day-to-day work of a small marketing agency and the opportunity to build experience across marketing strategy, client service, account management, branding, digital marketing, operations, events, and business development.

We'll also make an effort to tailor portions of the internship to the candidate's interests. If there is a particular area of marketing they want to explore, we'll look for opportunities to involve them in relevant client work and projects throughout the year.
