Description

This internship is also available as an remote/virtual internship.

Advertising and Media Agency

A leading advertising and marketing agency in Tanzania, designing and implementing campaigns for both local and international brands, offers internships at its headquarters in Dar es Salaam.

The agency's services include graphic design for online and print media, video production and editing, web design, social media management, media planning, media buying for social media, large-format printing, display advertising, event organization (e.g., product launches), and advertising photography. A trending topic is collaboration with Tanzanian social media influencers, who often have significant influence in collectivist societies like Tanzania.

As an intern, you can participate in any of these areas, depending on your interests. You will be assigned an experienced supervisor who will provide tasks and professional feedback. Internships are typically full-time (Monday to Friday, 40 hours per week).

No prior experience is necessary. Tasks will be tailored to match your skill level and interests.
