Since 2006, Minneapolis-based Campbell Mithun has rolled out their annual “Lucky 13” search for summer interns. We covered last year’s application, oddly enough, on Friday the 13th. We don’t have any voodoo magic this year, but it is 2013, so this year’s hunt for interns still gets to take on some added numerical significance.
Applicants must be college students or recent graduates interested in becoming future agency staffers who will write spiteful comments on AgencySpy message boards that put down any agency’s work that is not their own. I kid…
Campbell Mithun is focusing the 2013 campaign on Twinkies–a former client–because Hostess filed for bankruptcy and plans to auction off their brands in the coming weeks. Future interns have to create pitches for Twinkies that may not only land them a summer job, but also revive old business for the agency. High stakes, probably low pay, (great?) experience–sums up internships quite neatly. Check out the full requirements at the program website.
