The Associate Intern role is organized to cultivate a true understanding of our approach to consulting and develop the skills to get it done.

• Well-developed critical thinking capabilities, problem solving skills, and creative thinking
• Superior communication skills, both verbal and written
• Knowledge of, and passion for, brand, digital, and marketing strategy; and, how they impact business outcomes
• A curious mind with an unrelenting commitment to get to the answer, to test new approaches, learn new skills, and push others’ assumptions
• Confusion tolerance: comfort with ambiguity and the ability to adapt, flex, and change directions given client, project, and team circumstances, understanding the ever-changing business world.
• Familiarity with AI tools, AI strategy or implementation experience, and/or exposure to GenAI applications
