Weber Shandwick NY Co-Op
Your entry into the agency world
Weber Shandwick’s Co-Op isn’t just your average agency internship program. It’s the perfect opportunity for anyone eager to play a role solving today’s biggest communications challenges.
The Co-Op will give you a hands-on, curated experience to develop your skills, learn valuable new ones and explore the many facets of our industry to help you better understand – and invest in – your career path.
What’s the New York City Co-Op Program?
The Co-Op is so much more than an internship – it’s an informative and immersive dive into our agency where you will do real work with real clients. As a member of our 2021 NYC Co-Op, you’ll:
- Get day-to-day experience working on some of the world’s biggest brands.
- Have access to mentors and be paired with a buddy to help you navigate Weber Shandwick – and both will help you explore what you might want your career to look like.
- Participate in workshops to learn more about the many areas of expertise across the agency: Creative, Analytics, Digital, Consumer, Healthcare, Social Impact, B2B – and more. All potential career paths to explore.
- See how an idea comes to life through research, agency brainstorms and strategic planning.
- Be part of OneWeber – our diversity, equity and inclusion group at our NY headquarters.
- Gain organizational and communications skills that will help you navigate any future career.
All culminating in a Final Project, when you’ll receive a real RFP (Request for Proposal), develop a full strategic and creative with your Co-Op team and formally pitch it to senior agency leadership.
Hear from intern alumni
Meet: Kara Wiley
Favorite part? I was able to work on a variety of brands within my first week. This allowed me to get to know different teams across WS’s multiple departments and see how the different practices operate.
Expectations vs. reality of your internship? I was happy to see more informal team brainstorm sessions than expected. My input was listened to from early-on in my internship as well.
What are you up to now? I’ve been with WS for three years, and am currently an Art Director.
Meet: Felix Fernandez-Penny
What’d you work on? I spent a year in the Consumer Practice working on program development, content design, and product launches for well-known consumer brands.
Favorite part? I especially appreciated the internship’s Lunch & Learn speaker series, which introduced us to the breadth of WS’s offering and the firm’s specialty practices.
What are you up to now? The internship led to my first post-graduate full-time role, and I continue my work with the Strategy & Planning and the Structural Inequities Taskforce.
