2011 Emerging Marketers (SA) Internship Program

What is the Emerging Marketers Internship Program?

The Emerging Marketers Internship Program is now in its fourth year in South Australia. This year, Clemenger BBDO Adelaide, Mitsubishi, Shiels, San Remo, Channel 9 Adelaide and National Pharmacies are all offering the chance of a lifetime. These companies are offering the chance for a marketing, communications or advertising student to gain first-hand experience working within their marketing department for a period of 1-3 weeks.

How do I enter?

For your opportunity to win one of these internships you will need to provide a 2000-word response to a question posed by one of the internship companies. The top three entrants for each internship will also be asked to give an informal presentation to a panel comprising an Emerging Marketers member and a representative from the company in mid-late June 2011.

Can I use this towards my Uni/TAFE grade?

In some cases, yes. For the first time, the internships will also be incorporated into specific subjects at Uni SA, TAFE and Adelaide Uni. This means that students enrolled in these subjects who complete an internship entry not only have the chance to win work experience within the respective company, but the submission will also count towards their overall subject grade. More details about this can be found in the student brief (see below).

Who can enter?

The competition is open to all marketing and advertising students at Adelaide University, UniSA and TAFE.

When is it due?

The 2011 Emerging Marketers Internship Program officially closes at the close of business on Friday 3 June 2011. Please also refer to your course guide or lecturer for assignment submission dates (if applicable) as they may be different.

Are there any rules or restrictions?

• Yes, there are a couple of rules...
• Students may only enter one internship.
• Students who have previously won an internship may not enter the same internship again.
• Submissions must be sent in electronic form to Emerging Marketers with a cover sheet attached. You must do this even if you have already submitted it as an assignment to Uni/TAFE (see below)

How do I know if I have won?

Shortlisted internship entrants will be invited to a networking party in August where they will have the chance to network with employees of the internship companies. The overall winners of each internship will be informally announced here, and will then be invited to attend the Marketing Week Awards lunch. Here their win will be formally announced in front of South Australia’s top marketers.
