Marketing Agency Internship Application

Marketing Agency Internship Application Form

Finding exceptional marketing talent starts with an exceptional application experience. This Marketing Agency Internship Application template is designed specifically for marketing agencies, creative studios, and digital marketing teams looking to streamline their internship recruitment while genuinely getting to know each candidate's creative potential.

Why this form works for marketing agencies

Traditional resumes and cover letters only tell part of the story—especially in marketing, where creativity, digital fluency, and campaign thinking matter just as much as formal qualifications. This template lets candidates showcase their skills in action through portfolio uploads, social media presence, and a real campaign pitch. You'll discover not just what they've studied, but how they think, create, and communicate.

The form includes structured sections for work history, education, and references alongside more creative elements like portfolio work and campaign ideas. This balanced approach helps you evaluate both professionalism and creative spark, making it easier to identify candidates who'll thrive in a fast-paced agency environment.

Built for the way agencies actually hire

Marketing agencies need to move quickly during recruitment season, often reviewing dozens of applications in tight timeframes. This template captures everything you need in one submission—contact details, availability, work samples, social media handles for credibility checks, and a glimpse into strategic thinking through the campaign pitch section.

The skills assessment section uses a self-rating system across key marketing disciplines (social media marketing, content creation, paid advertising, analytics, design tools, and more), giving you an instant snapshot of where each candidate's strengths lie. You can quickly filter for interns who match specific project needs or team gaps.

With conditional logic, the form adapts based on responses—asking follow-up questions about previous marketing experience only when relevant, or diving deeper into specific tool proficiency when candidates indicate expertise. This keeps the application concise for entry-level candidates while capturing rich detail from those with more experience.

This template is ideal for:

• Marketing and advertising agencies hiring interns for client services, creative, strategy, or media buying teams
