The time has come to welcome our interns for the Summer 2018 Career Clarity intern program! This year we have a record 6 interns, including one in our Fayetteville office and one who is back for a second time (because she was so awesome last summer that we begged her to come back).
We are so excited to have them here assisting on projects with us while getting hands-on experience of what working at a marketing agency is really like. Check out their bios below to learn more about our newest team members.
