Nope! We are looking for all kinds of majors. There is no preference given to the type of degree you have whether that be marketing, advertising, anthropology, or engineering. All are welcome to apply!
Any undergraduate Junior or Senior graduating between May 2022 and May 2023.
Unfortunately, we won’t be able to accept anything additional once you submit your application. Please review the application carefully before you submit it!
After you fill out the initial application, you will receive an email from the MADE team with instructions to submit your recommendation. Please follow those instructions carefully as you will be assigned a unique link associated with only your application. You will move on to the next stage of the application process ONLY after you submit your letter through the link. In the meantime, please use this form to share with a professor to fill out.
You can only submit an academic recommendation. This is a chance for us to hear from a professor about your critical thinking and analytical reasoning skills. These are skills that are strong predictors of your success as a future leader in marketing and advertising.
We will only look at one recommendation so please submit what you feel represents you the best.
You can complete it at any point before the application deadline. You do not have to complete it the same day that you receive the interview request.
A complete application is your initial submission form with your resume, an academic recommendation, and the digital interview. All have to be completed before the stated deadline.
If you have filled out the application with your resume, conducted the digital interview, and submitted your academic recommendation before the stated deadline, you have given us everything we need. Unfortunately, we don’t have a self-service interface for you to check.
Unfortunately, once you submit your application, we are unable to give you access to change it. Our system can’t accommodate this self-service functionality.
While we would love to provide feedback, we are unable to accommodate this request. Find out more details about a marketing and advertising career by visiting FastForum and Industry Conversations.
AEF is pleased to announce that we’re now offering select internship opportunities in the Fall, Winter, Spring – in addition to Summer. Be sure to specify your intern term preferences in your application, and we will do our best to accommodate you. Please note that internship availability depends on company needs, and we can’t guarantee you will be hired for an internship during your preferred time period.
We review applications on a rolling basis and will start conducting live interviews as early as October during normal business hours, Monday through Friday.
Senior executives from the AEF and Association of National Advertisers will be conducting the interviews.
We will supply a link to a digital interview platform called ConveyIQ to conduct the discussion. The interview will last between 30-45 minutes.
We review applications as quickly as we can but also thoroughly and fairly. This takes some time! Keep in mind, we are reviewing candidates on a rolling basis so the earlier you applied, the better chance you have at hearing back early.
Yes! We have so many great candidates apply but might not have the right opportunity available for them at the time. Since we are constantly adding the companies to our partner list, we maintain a waitlist of folks who we liked, but didn’t have a place for. We will try to be as transparent about your status as possible but please keep in mind, we have over a thousand candidates and dozens of partners to navigate. It will take some time for us to make our final decisions.
If you become a MADE Finalist, we will share your application materials with our partner companies and do our best to help you find an internship. However, the partner companies ultimately decide to whom they will extend internship offers. The good news is that most of our MADE Finalists are typically hired for internships.
We have partner companies signed up in cities nationwide including New York, Chicago, Boston, LA, San Francisco. This list is subject to change over the coming months.
All MADE internships are paid. However, we do not provide housing arrangements or additional funding for living/relocation expenses.
Most of the companies in the MADE program start their internship programs in June and end in August. They last anywhere from eight to ten weeks with 30 to 40 hour work weeks. All of the internship programs are paid.
Yes, you can still apply for the MADE program. You’ll just have to account for the time difference when setting up live interviews with the MADE recruiting team!
Unfortunately no, international students will not be accepted into the program due to increasingly challenging regulation.
