AI & Communications Intern (Fall 2025)
Spoiler alert: This is not your average agency internship.
It’s a career-launching opportunity for anyone eager to play a role in solving today’s biggest communications challenges and working deeply within generative AI and new technologies. It’s an immersive and interactive role where you will do real work with some of the most exciting brands in Canada - and the world.
Through this immersive, hands-on experience, you’ll research, test, learn and create in emerging technologies and platforms. You’ll work with strategic AI experts in Canada and across our network to write prompts, research and create agents in our leading enterprise AI and technology workspaces. You’ll explore new platforms and generative AI capabilities to inform the team’s collective insights around culture, media and tech.
We're seeking a sharp, motivated individual who is excited about the future of AI and its impact on communications. You don’t need a technical background – just bring your own POV, critical thinking, and curiosity to explore AI and new technologies.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
From research to strategy to measurement, our AI & Communications Intern will help bring new thinking to ground-breaking, award-winning programs. During the internship, you’ll work on campaigns for iconic brands and companies you likely encounter every single day.
Your day-to-day tasks will include:
- Writing prompts and developing agents under direction/collaboration with AI experts and product and technology team
- Detailed review, fact-checking, iterative prompting and quality control of AI generated output, working independently and with teams
- Working closely with experts across the network to bring AI-driven products and opportunities to life
- Researching new tech/platforms with implications for marketing and communications programs
- Contributing to agency POVs and assignments, working alongside colleagues and cross-agency teams
- Assist AI and account teams with ad-hoc research and other tasks
WHAT YOU’LL GET FROM US
- Experience – You’ll be part of the Canadian team integrating data, technology and innovation for some of Canada’s (and the world’s) top brands. You won’t be watching from the sidelines, you will be IN the work
- Training and coaching – You’ll kick off your experience with a series of trainings to introduce you to the core areas of our work, and be invited to workshops and trainings to keep you on the cutting edge of some of the most advanced thinking in the industry
- Mentorship – You’ll be paired with a “People Champion” to ensure you get the most out of your experience and help guide your career
