  The World Services Internship Program is a paid 6-week opportunity for individuals looking to start a career in strategic communications, with a focus on global change. The purpose of this program is to invest in future talent, and, while a full-time job is not guaranteed, program graduates will be considered for potential employment opportunities.

  World Services is a specialist division of M+C Saatchi Group. We focus on tackling some of humanity’s most challenging and important problems in fragile states and developing countries, harnessing the power of cutting-edge communications and creativity to achieve long-term behavior change.

  The internship will begin on July 01, 2025, and run until August 09, 2025, based in our NoMad, NYC office during normal business hours, 9am-5pm. Interns are expected to come into the office at least three times per week at the discretion of the program leads.

  WHAT YOU’LL GAIN

  Interns will have the opportunity to engage with the following departments across the agency:

  • Account & Project Management
  • Strategy
  • Research
  • Media Strategy
  • Operations
  • Production

  Throughout the program, interns will:

  • Be embedded in real projects to gain hands-on experience.
  • Engage with team members across departments to broaden their understanding of the communications field.
  • Attend weekly department spotlight presentations to gain insight into key industry functions.

  • Work together on an Internship Project, which will culminate in a final presentation showcasing what they’ve learned and could bring to the agency in a full-time role

  ABOUT YOU

  We are looking for candidates who have:

  • Curious minds: You are naturally curious about the world and how it works, particularly from a geopolitical and social perspective. You go beyond the headlines and invest in understanding global issues and their implications. You believe that communications when applied properly can lead to a better world.
  • A knack for collaboration: Our work involves partnerships with governments, agencies, and international organizations. We need a natural collaborator -someone who empowers those around them and is open, willing, and able to engage new people both inside and outside our organization.
  • A desire for a meaningful career: What drives you? If you are looking for more than just a job, but a career with impact, this could be the place for you. Those who are motivated by solving real-world challenges and making a difference will thrive in this environment.
  • Research & Analytical Skills: Ability to digest complex global issues, synthesize information, and think critically about global communications challenges.
  • Strong Written & Verbal Communication: Ability to articulate ideas clearly, adapt messages to different audiences, and contribute meaningfully to discussions.
