Marketing Internship - Spring 2018, Segerstrom Center for the Arts

The Center’s Marketing and Communications interns work within the marketing and communications department to promote activities at the Center through a variety of integrated campaigns and activities, including print, television, radio and online advertising; direct marketing; public relations; e-mail communications and other strategic initiatives. Interns receive hands-on experience in a variety of marketing tasks and are exposed to the process of creating and implementing the Center's marketing and public relations strategies.  A marketing internship may involve such tasks as managing the distribution of promotional materials, trafficking materials and projects, promoting productions at community events, attending department meetings, assisting with media relations, participating in social media efforts, maintaining records, conducting market research and other administrative duties.  Applicants are encouraged to submit a project as part of his/her application s/he would complete during the internship.  Proposed project should increase awareness of the Center and its performances in the community through social media, grass roots marketing, outreach or other specific initiatives.

The Center’s internship program offers an exciting opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to gain professional experience by working side-by-side with administrators, extraordinary artists, and technicians. Interns attend bi-weekly sessions that are led by executives of the Center to learn about the different departments of the organization and how they work together. Interns may attend performances, workshops, and classes presented by the Center, free of charge (if space is available), during their internship.
