Media & Marketing Internships: How to Land One
The fastest way to get a media & marketing internship is to email companies directly. Media, gaming, publishing, and marketing teams value initiative and a portfolio far more than a formal resume. FirstInternships lists 901 media & marketing companies across the industry — with a personalized email written for each.
Why direct outreach works in media & marketing
Most media & marketing internships are never posted publicly. A concise, specific email to the right recruiting inbox reaches a real person and skips the applicant-tracking system — which is why it consistently gets more replies than job-board applications.

How do I get a media & marketing internship?
Email media & marketing companies directly instead of only applying online. Send a short, specific note to their recruiting inbox, connect one real thing you've done to what they do, and ask if they take interns. FirstInternships has 901 media & marketing companies you can reach this way.
Do media & marketing companies take interns with no experience?
Many do — especially smaller ones. Reaching out directly and showing genuine interest matters more than prior experience.
