What are the responsibilities and job description for the Development Internship Summer 2025 position at Mission Media?
This paid, part-time internship is open to college students and recent graduates who want to get their hands dirty in learning to develop digital experiences for top brands. With mentorship from our development team, you'll learn the ins and outs of a brand marketing agency and contribute your skills to real projects for real clients. We'll challenge you to think big and share your perspective instead of fetching our coffee or dry-cleaning (most of us wear jeans anyway). If you're ready to gain experience in our exciting, fast-paced industry, we hope you’ll apply to this internship. We're passionate about working with people who can teach us just as much as we'll teach them.
