Anyone can apply, and you’ll walk away with a letter of recommendation as well as some kick ass connections. You bring the talent and we’ll provide the stage.

OTHER AGENCIES HAVE INTERNS, DRAKE COOPER HAS BACKSTAGE PASSERS.
We made a recap of our collective experience that showcases our summer. We tried to keep it as honest as possible, so if it looks awesome that’s because it was.

From data analytics to copywriting, and everything in between, you’ll have the opportunity to access the minds of what makes DC the best agency in the region.
