The Mohawk Valley Advertising Club (MV Ad Club), was founded in 1947 “to promote greater effectiveness in the use of advertising as an instrument for distribution, to foster higher standards of practice in advertising and selling, to expand recognition of advertising as a profitable business tool, and to cultivate a better understanding of the economic and social value of advertising to the consuming public.” MV Ad Club affords communications professionals the opportunity to meet with fellow professionals on a regular basis. Programs deal with a wide range of topics designed to improve your job skills and professional standing. MV Ad Club has redesigned its Student Awards program, by developing a Student Internship, offered to college students in the Greater Central New York Area, every other year. Our next student internship will be in the Spring of 2013.
INTERNSHIP
This candidate will work on a marketing project as determined by the MV Ad Club Board of Directors in the Spring under the direction of the Board. The project will be dependent on the skill set of the candidate. The candidate will be required to work with various Board members on completion of the project, and will be presenting the completed project at the MV Ad Club Student Program in April. At this event, the candidate will receive a scholarship in the amount of $1,000.00 and membership to MV Ad Club for the following Season. There is also the potential of an additional internship with an MV Ad Club member.
