Summer 2027 Intern, Marketing & Communications

Athena Global Advisors partners with organizations to transform their presence, reputation, and performance through business insights, marketing strategies, and brand activations. The Marketing and Communications Intern will support client-facing and internal campaigns through research, content creation, presentation design, social media management, stakeholder coordination, and project support across marketing, branding, and event initiatives.

What you'll do:

• Support client initiatives through research, content development, and presentation design

• Create and manage social media content and internal engagement to promote Athena’s brand, such as event coverage
• Conduct research, build Excel reports, and create slide decks to support cross-functional marketing efforts
• Provide general project support across marketing, branding, and event initiatives

What they're looking for:

• You're a creative thinker: not afraid to think outside the box, driven by curiosity, proposing ideas and solutions, reaching above and beyond to ensure the success of a project
• You're a people person: whether it's brainstorming with coworkers or working with other departments, you're a clear, open communicator and you're not afraid to ask for help
• You're tech savvy: you're in-tune with design trends, and you can learn new computer programs and adapt them into your workflow quickly
• You've got it together: a fan of calendar invites, close attention to detail, tight time management, and organization skills
• Prior experience working directly with clients or supporting brand activations
• Leadership experience through extracurricular activities, volunteer work, or team-based activities
• Exposure to marketing, brand strategy, or social media planning
• Familiarity with business analytics and KPI reporting

Benefits:

• Flexible Scheduling: Interns are expected to work 20–30 hours per week, ideally on a consistent schedule. Hours are coordinated with managers to allow flexibility within the weekly limit.
• In-Person Engagement: This is an on-site internship based in Philadelphia, designed to provide immersive, real-world experience in a collaborative office environment.
• Professional Exposure: Interns gain hands-on experience with client-facing work, learning key skills in professionalism, communication, and public relations.
• Capstone Project: All interns participate in a Capstone Project, where they collaborate across departments to research and pitch a new client opportunity to Athena’s senior leadership and CEO.
• Cultural Experiences: Interns enjoy company outings that showcase Philadelphia’s culture and community—past events have included visits to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Citizens Bank Park.
