Stone Ward Seeks Ambitious and Talented Students to Participate in Camp Reality 2012

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Jan. 18, 2011) – Stone Ward announced today that starting immediately, it’s searching for eight ambitious, talented and energetic college students to participate in Camp Reality, a 10-week paid internship program that provides real-world experience to participants who plan to develop careers in advertising.

“I learned more during Camp Reality than I learned in four years of college,” said Liz Rogers, former Camp Reality intern and University of Arkansas graduate. “I had a great time interacting with ad professionals and learning from people who are as passionate about advertising as I am.”

Camp Reality will last from May 28, 2012 until Aug. 3, 2012, and interns will be paid $8 per hour. The 2012 Camp Reality class will include students who are interested in marketing strategy, journalism, public relations, media buying and planning, creative writing, digital design and development, print production, broadcast production and graphic and industrial design.

“Our agency is built on the belief in the potential of every person, client and idea,” President Millie Ward said. “Our Camp Reality program provides real-life experience that brings out the potential in the young people who participate in the program.”

Through Camp Reality, the intern class will team up to produce an integrated, strategic plan consisting of creative concepts, public relations initiatives, media plans and digital products that will be presented to a client at the end of the summer. While creating these materials, interns work alongside and often build lasting relationships with Stone Ward professionals. Interns are given guidance on how to complete projects but are encouraged to exercise their own creativity during the program.

The application period runs January through February and decisions will be made by March 1. Applicants should be juniors, seniors and recent graduates.

Applications, available at StoneWard.com/internships, should be completed and submitted along with resumes and work samples. Resumes should be kept to a page. Portfolios should reflect the best of the candidate’s work.

Submit applications, non-returnable resumes and portfolio samples online or mail to:
