Internship - Creative Strategist/Marketing

Shive-Hattery is seeking a full-time Marketing Intern to join our team this summer. You will be working with our Public Infrastructure and Public Buildings-focused Creative Strategy teams.

Shive-Hattery is an architecture and engineering firm known for helpfulness and high-quality design. People seek out architecture and engineering services like ours for one of two main reasons: 

1. They have a new building to design or space to renovate – a school, a bridge, a hotel, a factory, or even a park or trail.
2. They have a problem they need fixed – a broken water main, deteriorating concrete in a parking lot, or indoor air quality problems. 

As our Marketing Intern, you won’t need to solve these problems – that’s what the architects and engineers are for! Your job will be to partner with them to translate their technical solutions into beautiful, clear proposal materials that persuade clients to choose us over our competitors.  

Requirements

We’re looking for a summer teammate who will use their strong writing skills to create marketing materials for our clients. This person will be entering their junior or senior year of college as a full-time student with a major in English, Marketing, Communications, Journalism, or a related field. For community or technical college students, this student will be entering their second year.

Qualifications

• Proactive communication – keep supervisor, teammates, and internal clients up to date on your projects, and communicate early if something goes amiss
• Demonstrate accountability and follow-through
• Strong writing ability 
• Creative problem-solving 
• Ability to edit and revise documents in Adobe InDesign (visual storytelling will be important, but graphic design is not the focus of this internship)
• Ability to make compelling presentations in PowerPoint

What you will do:

• Write resumes, proposals and other marketing pieces that show clients we understand and can solve their unique problems. 
• Market research to understand our client’s headspace and priorities. 
• Proofread materials to make sure they represent our company and people well. 
• Manage data to understand how customer information is stored and accessed in a corporate environment.
• Interface with architects, engineers, and other technical staff to understand their roles and the value they bring to clients. 

Kindly include with your submission: 

• Resume
• Cover letter
