Are you a creative, big-picture thinker who wants to be in a role that suits your collaborative outlook where no two days are the same? Marketing could be a rewarding career for you.
Marketing is a discipline that will always be needed. As the world becomes ever-reliant on new forms of technology, remote marketing internships give you an opportunity to stay current as you enter the workforce.

A marketing internship involves working with a marketing team or department to support the development and implementation of marketing strategies and initiatives. Tasks may include conducting market research, content creation, social media management, graphic design, event planning, and administrative tasks. Whether you’re interested in social media marketing, PR, or any other aspect of marketing, an internship in this field will provide you with valuable skills and experience to help drive business growth.
As a remote marketing intern, you’ll be exposed to the inner workings of global companies, delve into the importance of research and analysis, and put your creative cap on to deliver results and gain your unbeatable advantage.
Marketing is a multi-faceted field with hundreds of paths to take. A marketing internship is an ideal way to ‘try on’ these different career paths and decide which one is for you. You may start your internship set on digital marketing but gain exposure to press and communications marketing which completely changes your mind.

“My time as an intern during the Virtual Internships program was unquestionably worthwhile. I worked for an amazing startup in San Francisco, and developed independence and confidence in my sector. I would highly recommend that students give remote internships a try and make the most out of an amazing and career-defining opportunity.”
Biggest skill gain?
“It gave me the initial experience I needed in my respective field of marketing including SEO skills, social media strategy and more, but it also prepared me for the level of independence, trust, and responsibility that is required in our new working world.”
Any advice for future interns?
“Try to get involved with as many projects and sides of the business as possible as these will all look great to future employers as well as giving you the exposure you need to understand which pathway is right for you.”
