Internships

Department Zero is on the hunt for the most creative, innovative, hard working and outgoing interns. If you live in Kansas City or Portland, OR, are a college junior or senior and feel passionately about marketing, you MUST read this.

You:
Have many options to help you to prepare to for the "real world" and a long list of things that would be more fun to do than work for free. Your advisers and parents really want you to be ready to enter the job force, and you don't have to spend your first few years out of school referring to your parents as your "roommates."

We:
Create awesome brand experiences for some of the biggest brands out there.  We believe that anything is possible and frequently find ways to make it happen, that laughing out loud at work is non-negotiable, and that having talented and creative teams to rely on makes it worth getting out of bed in the morning. We work on huge brands and produce cutting edge programs, and we often wear hoodies and/or flip flops to work. We handle grassroots and experiential marketing for clients like Scion, Southwest Airlines and Verizon Wireless, all without a corporate culture that will squash your soul or ask you to behave like a robot.
