Applications are now open for the fourth year of Black Theatre United's Marketing Internship Program, which is dedicated to creating new opportunities for emerging talent in theatrical marketing and advertising.

During the eight-week program, running June 16–August 8, interns will work with five marketing companies and one press office in New York City: Serino Coyne, AKA, RPM, Situation, SpotCo, and The Press Room NYC, extending the program's reach for the first time to include press.

The program, open to all undergraduate students, provides education and experience in the areas of research, strategic planning, creative development/art direction, media planning and buying, social media, content development, partnership marketing, data analysis, and production. Interns will also benefit from mentorship support from the BTU Rise committee and many of BTU’s founding members.

Interns will be hired as full-time employees of one of the companies and will be paid $16 per hour. Housing is also provided at St. John’s University’s Queens campus, and each intern will also receive an unlimited MetroCard.

There are 11 spots open for the internship, which also includes joint programming with Polk & Co., iHeart Media, and the New York Times, among others. Click here to apply for the program. Applications are due by March 18.
