Advertising internships after college in New York City?
Does anyone know of any advertising agencies that take interns that have already graduated from school? I really want to get into advertising and I know that its the best, and almost the only way into the industry. I just moved to New York City and am enthusiastic about this. I've already gone out and asked several companies but I want to see if anybody knows of any places that definitely have internship programs for college grads.

Answer 1 :
I see ads every day seeking marketing or advertising "interns" on Craigslist ( http://newyork.craigslist.org/mar/ ). Be aware that many (perhaps most) of these opportunities are just looking for free or low-wage employees, and may not provide useful work experience or references. Sometimes, the "agency" turns out to be one guy working from home.
Answer 2 :
contact the big agencies, most if not all of them have some kind of internship programs. but be specific as to whether you want an internship in creative or account management (the writers and art directors or the business folks.) also note that these days there are a wide range of agencies, from the old school traditional to interactive shops, both produce advertising work, just different kinds. you can find a list of the biggest agencies online - adweek or ad age publishes these and must certainly make them available online. remember, the bigger agencies have the resources for this, but no matter where you go you'r not likely to make much money, if any at all. these are highly, highly competitive programs so just being accepted is a tremendous victory
