Do You Have What it Takes to be an Ultimate Intern?

Friday, February 3rd, 2012

The search for the Under Armour Ultimate Intern Team is on! You may remember that in 2011, Under Armour – the leader in sports performance apparel, footwear, and accessories – conducted an innovative search for their summer interns via Facebook. This campaign was so successful that they’re at it again – and this time it’s bigger and better! Candidates can apply through the Under Armour Facebook page by submitting a 140-character cover letter through February 27. Additionally, applicants will be challenged with creating their own Tumblr to prove that they have what it takes to be part of the Under Armour brand.

The best part about the Ultimate Intern campaign is that the gigs are awesome. The five interns will be selected to work in positions such as copywriting, film making, graphic design, social media, and marketing strategy, all with an emphasis on digital engagement. Students will learn first-hand how Under Armour continues to be a leader in performance innovation, working with the brand’s elite athletes and going behind-the-scenes at events and commercial shoots. The “Ultimate Intern Team” will also be tasked with strategizing, writing, capturing, and editing content to distribute through Under Armour’s social media channels, highlighting the Under Armour culture and activating around everything from product releases to athlete initiatives.

The internship is open to current undergraduate and graduate students who will be returning to school following the summer. Selected interns will each receive a $5,000 scholarship paid directly to his or her school. The top five candidates for each position will be announced on March 9. The selected candidates will participate in a Skype interview on March 14 and the final selected candidates will be announced as the “Ultimate Intern Team” on March 16 and will report for their summer internship from May 29 through August 10, 2012.

We think this is an extraordinary opportunity! For full terms, more information, or to apply, visit the Ultimate Intern Team.
