Marketing Internships: A 2027 Guide

When this guide was written, our marketing field page lists 3,911 open internships for marketing students from 1,459 companies, and 487 of them were added this week.

That page collects postings open to marketing students, so the count is wider than roles titled as marketing jobs. Our marketing roles page lists 1,319 open marketing internships from 807 companies at the time of writing, and 187 of them were added this week. The roles on that page include brand, digital, social, content, product marketing, and communications. This guide covers which employers have roles open, what the postings ask interns to do, the pay and eligibility terms they state, and when to apply for summer 2027. Employer details come from postings as listed on Intern Insider when this guide was written. Postings change quickly, so the posting you apply through is the final word on its own terms.

Marketing internships open now#

The United States field page lists 3,654 open roles from 1,366 companies, and 439 of them were added this week. The United States roles page lists 1,214 open marketing internships from 753 companies, and 148 of them were added this week.

Company pages count every open internship, not only marketing. At the time of writing they list 29 open internships at Procter & Gamble, 17 at Nike, 42 at The Walt Disney Company, 24 at Amazon, 13 at Mars, 19 at Colgate-Palmolive, 10 at Papa Johns, 92 at Keurig Dr Pepper, 81 at Henkel, 23 at Abbott, 12 at Under Armour, and 9 at L'Oréal. NVIDIA lists 115 open internships, and JPMorganChase lists 24. The marketing postings we read from those pages are linked below.

The roles page has a page for each city. At the time of writing it lists 80 open marketing internships in New York from 63 companies, 18 in Chicago from 15 companies, 18 in Los Angeles from 14 companies, and 29 in Toronto from 18 companies.

Titles to search for#

Marketing internships are not always titled "marketing internship." Titles on the pages we read include:

• Brand marketing, used by Papa Johns, Mars, Abbott, and Excel Sports Management.

• Growth marketing and digital marketing, used by Papa Johns, Procter & Gamble, Keurig Dr Pepper, and Henkel.

• Social media and influencer, used by Keurig Dr Pepper, ESPN, and Yum Brands.

• Search engine optimization (SEO) and content marketing, used by Keurig Dr Pepper and Power Digital Marketing.

• Product marketing, used by Applied Materials and NVIDIA.

• Communications, used by L'Oréal, Philips, Disney, and BMO.

• Co-op, LEAP Intern, Summer Analyst, and MBA. MBA stands for master of business administration. Nike, Mars, and NVIDIA use it.

Searching only for one of those titles misses the others. The roles page groups them as marketing jobs, and the field page also picks up postings that accept marketing students under a different title.

What marketing interns do#

The American Marketing Association defines marketing as "the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large." The postings split that work by team. Seven of them, read when this guide was written, show the range.

Brand seats such as Papa Johns, the Mars marketing and brand management internship in Chicago or Newark, and the Abbott nutrition brand management internship in Columbus centre on campaigns, consumer research, and brand plans. Mars asks for a first-year master of business administration (MBA) student. Abbott is a Summer 2027 on-site internship.

Digital and performance seats centre on channels and measurement. The Papa Johns growth marketing internship in Atlanta is Summer 2027 and on-site, and the posting describes website, email, search, and paid media work. The Keurig Dr Pepper digital marketing and customer relationship management (CRM) co-op in Burlington runs from 5 July 2027 to 17 December 2027. The posting describes building and testing promotional emails, including tests that compare two subject lines. The Amazon general marketing specialist internship in Seattle is 12 weeks between May and September 2027, on-site, and asks for analytic tools plus web, social, and email content.

Social seats centre on the content calendar and the platforms. The ESPN social internship is a paid remote internship in Connecticut for Winter 2027, from January through May 2027. The Yum Brands social and influencer internship in Plano is on-site and asks for 10 to 20 hours a week coordinating creator campaigns and content calendars.

Content seats centre on search and the words on the page. Beside the Keurig SEO co-op, the Power Digital Marketing organic search internship is remote in the United States for Spring 2027. The posting says compensation is college credit, and that you must be enrolled in a course for credit. The work it describes is keyword research, title tags, meta descriptions, and Google Analytics.

Product marketing seats sit between the product and the sales team. The Applied Materials product marketing internship in Gloucester is Summer 2027, on-site, from 24 May to 13 August, and the posting describes competitive intelligence and support for upgrade sales. The NVIDIA posting describes product pages, data sheets, and materials for channel partners.

Communications seats centre on messages inside and outside the company. Philips and L'Oréal are in the table. The Disney WDI Communications internship in Lake Buena Vista is a paid on-site internship for Winter 2027. The posting title uses WDI and does not spell it out.

Procter & Gamble's internships page says an internship can include handling multimillion-dollar marketing campaigns before you graduate, that internships run from six weeks to 12 months, in person and virtually, and that about 500 new interns join each year. The same page says P&G is named one of the world's most attractive employers for students, and it names Universum. L'Oréal's students page says 5,000 interns on average work across L'Oréal worldwide, and that 70 percent is the average share of full-time junior hires that come from its youth program pool. It also describes a Summer Camp internship of 1 to 2 months and says the format varies by country.

Eligibility terms to check before you apply#

The postings set different terms, and several are easy to miss if you only read the title.

• Year of study. The Nike Marketing Vanguard Program in Beaverton asks for an MBA or a master's in marketing, with graduation in December 2027 or spring 2028, and it prefers 3 to 5 years of work experience. The Nike digital growth graduate internship, also in Beaverton, asks for MBA enrollment and the same graduation window, for a 10-week Summer 2027 term on-site at the Philip H. Knight Campus. The Procter & Gamble brand management internship for 2028 graduates asks for a junior in an undergraduate or master's program, graduating in December 2027 or spring 2028. The title says non-MBA. Amazon asks for a bachelor's degree in progress with graduation between December 2027 and June 2028. The JPMorganChase marketing summer analyst posting in New York asks for a bachelor's, or a fifth-year master's, with graduation between December 2027 and June 2028.

• Work authorization. Amazon, the Procter & Gamble digital marketing technology posting, Philips, the Keurig Dr Pepper CRM co-op, Abbott, and the Excel Sports Management brand marketing internship in New York each state that sponsorship is not available for the role we read. Abbott says that authorization is required now and in the future.

• Hours and location. Most of these roles are on-site. Keurig Dr Pepper co-ops in Burlington are hybrid, with the SEO co-op asking for the office on Tuesday through Thursday. The ESPN social internship is remote in Connecticut. Yum Brands asks for 10 to 20 hours a week. L'Oréal asks for the El Segundo office 3 days a week across 12 months. The Under Armour marketing and communications internship in Baltimore is Summer 2027 and lists hybrid or on-site.

Pay stated in the postings#

These figures come from the postings as listed on Intern Insider when this guide was written.

Amazon states 80,200 USD annually and does not say whether that figure is the pay for the 12-week internship or an annual rate. The other postings in this guide that do not appear in the table do not state a rate. Papa Johns, Mars, Abbott, Nike's digital growth internship, and the Disney communications internship say the role is paid and do not state a figure. Confirm pay with the employer before you accept.

Summer 2027 marketing internships#

Summer 2027 marketing internships are already posted. Several listings show apply-by dates in November and December 2026, and one runs to 2 January 2027. Summer 2028 is open too.

The Keurig Dr Pepper co-ops and the Applied Materials product marketing internship are also open. Their listings show a recommended apply-by date before 31 October 2026, so that date is left out here. The terms themselves are later: the CRM co-op runs from 5 July 2027 to 17 December 2027, the SEO co-op from 12 July 2027 to 10 December 2027, and Applied Materials is Summer 2027.

Postings do not always stay open until their stated deadline. In our analysis of when internship postings really close, a third of internship postings are gone before their own stated deadline arrives. The summer 2027 application timeline shows when each wave of employers tends to open, and the summer 2027 internships page lists open roles across fields.

Marketing internships in Canada#

When this guide was written, the Canadian marketing roles page lists 87 open marketing internships from 51 companies, and 34 of them were added this week. The Canadian marketing field page lists 231 open roles from 98 companies, and 43 of them were added this week. The Toronto roles page lists 29 open marketing internships from 18 companies.

Three postings read at the time of writing show how the terms differ from the United States list:

• The Keurig Dr Pepper LEAP social internship in Montreal or Mississauga runs from 4 January 2027 to 31 August 2027, hybrid, at $22.00 hourly.

• The BMO public relations internship in Toronto is a four-month Winter 2027 term, on-site, from 6:00 AM to 2:00 PM Eastern Time. The posting lists an official deadline of 31 October 2026. The work it describes includes a daily media clip sheet, media lists, and press releases.

• The Procter & Gamble sales and marketing internship in Toronto is on-site and runs from 3 May 2027 to 21 April 2028. The posting says sponsorship is not available.

Titles in Canada often use "co-op" or "student" as well as internship titles, so search the roles page for the full set.

How to prepare an application#

• Match the posting. Keurig Dr Pepper names Canva, CapCut, and Adobe Express for the social internship, and email tests for the CRM co-op. Henkel's Schwarzkopf posting describes photo and video shoots, paid and organic social, and influencer work. Amazon names analytic tools. NVIDIA names product pages and messaging briefs. Put the items a posting names near the top of your resume, where you have used them.

• Check the degree line. An undergraduate summer internship and an MBA internship can share a season. Nike's Marketing Vanguard Program and the Mars posting ask for graduate business enrollment. The Procter & Gamble 2028 brand posting asks for a junior in an undergraduate or master's program, and the title says non-MBA. Amazon asks for a bachelor's degree in progress.

• Show the work the team can see. The ESPN posting asks for coursework, campus work, or personal projects in social, sports, or digital media, plus sports knowledge and basic video editing. The Power Digital Marketing search internship describes website copy, title tags, and meta descriptions.

• Check authorization and hours before you spend time on a form. The terms above differ by employer and can rule out a role before anyone reads your resume.

• Apply to more than one employer. The roles page lists 1,319 open marketing internships from 807 companies, a little over one and a half per company. Spreading applications across employers is more useful than perfecting one.

• Use the guides. Our business internship resume guide covers how business recruiters tend to read a resume, and the cover letter guide covers the letter. The guide on how to get a marketing internship covers the application steps. If you are also looking at finance, see the finance internships guide.
