TRIS3CT ADVERTISING
THANK YOU
for your interest in TRIS3CT – we’re flattered.
Trisect has been recognized by Ad Age as one of the top 30 Best Places to Work. And we’re one of fastest growing
marketing agencies in the country.
We’re a close-knit group of marketing professionals who believe in the power of an idea, and the deliciousness of
pork products (we’re located in Chicago’s West Loop meat-packing district).
We create ideas for brands like Cottonelle, Kawasaki, Sharpie, Slim Jim, Orville Redenbacher’s, US Cellular and
DeVry University, to name a few.
Here are 3 more things you should know about us:
one.
We affectionately refer to ourselves as little “t.” It’s a part of our mindset. People and brands that
perceive themselves as an underdog will always work harder.
two. We believe creativity is not limited to the creative department. Everyone here places an unexpected
level of creativity into the spaces that are hungry for it.
three. We think being an independent agency is a fundamental advantage that allows us to create
unexpected value—both in our focus on people and our investment in our clients’ business.
Now that you know a bit more about Trisect, here’s what you need to know
about our 2012 SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM:
We’ll be hiring account management, art director, copywriter and interactive design interns.
Duties will vary depending on the needs of the assigned client business. But typically interns start out by
shadowing existing team members to learn the agency process. Then they get to work on special assignments
and manage small projects.
The best part? Trisect summer interns are paid a weekly stipend. Yay.
To be considered, you must be completing your senior year of college (or final year of portfolio school)
and seeking full-time employment at the conclusion of the internship.
Interested?
Of course you are. Here’s what to do next:
Please submit the following materials:
• Completed application (found on the next page)
• Current resume
• Creatives should include a link or digital version of their portfolio
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION:
