Program

Overview

If you want to kick-start your career in advertising, you’re in the right place.

The ‘Edge Up’ internship is an 8-week program specifically designed to nurture students in their final year of university who are interested in a career in advertising.

You’ll get the chance to work at our Sydney office and immerse yourself in ad agency culture, as well as the training you need to hone your skills in either account management, strategy, editorial, design, media or production.

You’ll be assigned a designated mentor throughout the program, get to attend weekly 101 learning sessions and work collaboratively with a group of peers to deliver a pitch response for a real-world client.

SPECIFICALLY, THE PROGRAM WILL INCLUDE

  • One-to-one mentorship in your principal area of interest - account management, strategy, editorial, design, media or production
  • Exposure to all areas of the agency through weekly Department Downloads run by senior staff
  • Weekly 101 learning sessions that explore the advertising process from strategic thinking and research to creative ideation and execution
  • Coffee Q&A sessions with each of the agency leaders - a great opportunity to pick their brains and ask your burning questions!
  • The opportunity to collaboratively develop a strategic and creative response to a real-world, pro bono client brief
  • Involvement in agency functions and social events. 

Over the last three years we have recruited six new members to our team through Edge Up, so we’re excited to see what you can bring to the table! If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of please apply below.

The Edge Internship Program was an extraordinary experience that places you in the centre of the advertising world. It was such a period of growth for me as a designer and wouldn’t be where I am today without it. With incredible people, amazing mentors, hands-on experience, and a warm and exciting atmosphere, I couldn’t recommend this program highly enough!

My time on the editorial team at Edge was an absolute pleasure. I was entrusted with responsibilities that challenged me, while receiving encouragement and support every step of the way. The experience gave me a strong grounding early in my career. Also you can’t go wrong with the pub lunches!

The intern program was an amazing introduction to the industry that gave me a good feel for agency culture alongside like-minded interns. Doing a pitch for a real client was a great opportunity and taught me more than any classroom could have.
