INTERMARK GROUP WELCOMES ITS SUMMER 2015 INTERNS!
Things are heating up this summer at Intermark Group as we are excited to welcome our 2015 summer interns. Our interns will get the opportunity to bring their fresh ideas to the table and work hands-on at our agency. These bright young minds will be hard at work collaborating, developing ideas, creating content and pitching to a diverse range of clients. How exciting!
On top of their daily work, our interns will get a taste of real agency life by working closely with Golden Flake. That’s right! These interns will have a lot of work on their hands…along with maybe some snack crumbs. These six go-getters will be working with the client while interacting with our management in multiple departments. This interaction will enable the interns to gather real-world experience and allow them to grow in terms of future business potential.
“You will be asked to learn in three months what most people cover in their first few years in the industry. It will mean long hours, intensive study and tireless effort,” said Jake McKenzie, CEO at Intermark Group. “While it may sound daunting, the results will be invaluable.”
With that being said, we warmly welcome our interns and are thrilled to have them on the team! We thought it might be fun for you all to get to know our interns.

Hillary McDaniel, Creative Design Intern
Why Intermark? I think it is fantastic to see an agency in Alabama doing really creative things to enhance brands and connect to an audience. I have experienced places before that focus primarily on the end product, and not so much on the concept or big idea. I knew that interning at Intermark would help me grow and polish my skills in order to better prepare me for a career as an art director.
Education: University of Alabama graduate, Bachelor of Communication Arts.
Hometown: Prattville, Ala.
Interesting Fact: I was able to visit France for a week for FREE in high school. How, you ask? I entered a painting in a nationwide scholarship competition and won. Now I’m currently scheming a way to get to Italy for free using a sketchbook.
