Verizon Adfellows is an 8-month rotational fellowship for recent Bachelor’s degree graduates who are under-represented in the advertising industry. Verizon adfellows works with a network of leading advertising agencies and brands to hire diverse, recent graduates interested in pursuing a career in advertising. Between September 2021 and May 2022, the fellows will rotate through four, two-month Fellowships with different agencies and brands to learn about different sides of advertising. Participating agencies and brands include McCann, ABInBev, R/GA, Weber Shandwick, Publicis, among others. This is an exceptional opportunity to learn skills, build a network, and launch a career in advertising! In the past, more than 90% of fellows have received a full-time offer at the end of the 8-month fellowship.
This year, Verizon Adfellows is interested in hiring candidates in 3 tracks: 1) General Advertising and Marketing, 2) Data and Analytics, 3) Creative (including design and copywriting). In addition, Adfellows is open to candidates who graduated in between May 2019 and September 2021 given the impact of COVID-19 on recent graduates.
For those of you who missed the orientation or who attended but want to review information discussed, here is a PDF of the slide show from that orientation.
Are you interested in competing with your design peers developing ideas for a live client? Then, this event is for you. It is next Friday from 9 until 2. We would like to send a team of 4 from City Tech. This is great experience and yes, if you are in my internship class this semester, this counts as a networking event. Please let me know at tgoetz@citytech.cuny.edu if you are interested in this event.
Please review this set of Professional Development Center (PDC) Virtual Workshops and, if you are enrolled in Internship for Spring 2020, make time for the resume workshop next week. There is a session this evening about the Simplicity Job board–if you can make it, that would be great. These sessions will assist you in getting yourself prepared for your internship search.
