Copy Intern

BGBx

Fall 2026 Copy Internship (For Academic Credit)

Position Overview

Do you have a passion for creativity, blended with smart science?  Are you looking for a gateway to a career in advertising? 

Science has proven that humans are far more engaged by storytelling than by cold, hard facts. Yet cold, hard facts are the stuff of which science and medicine are made of. How do we use storytelling to help customers form a personal connection to the facts we need to communicate?  If you can do that, you might rule the world. Or at least promotional healthcare copywriting.

BGB Group is hiring a Copy Intern for the Fall 2026 semester. During this program, you will immerse in the day-to-day life of a writer/content provider focused on healthcare clients. Through classes and in collaboration with staff and interns from other disciplines, you will produce a project from kick-off to going live, providing valuable content while learning how the sausage gets made and how every project goes from idea to finished product. You will also work on a variety of other copy projects as necessitated by the Agency’s deliverables. You will gain research and presentation skills. By the time our experience together wraps, you will 1) know if a career as a healthcare advertising copywriter is for you, and 2) have acquired valuable experience that will make you a more attractive candidate when you go looking for that first full-time job.

This internship is for academic credit only and will run from September-December 2026.
