The launch of our 2nd annual summer intern program at the 381 Park Avenue South and Spring Street locations in New York is underway.

Eight college interns have joined the Tag team for the 10-week program, which runs from late May to August. Throughout the summer, interns gain tangible

learning experiences that will help prepare them for their future careers. The program is not only valuable for participants, but also for the business, as finding and nurturing talent plays a key role in our continued success.

The structure of the internship program is based on our 70/20/10 development framework. As part of this program, our interns will learn about Tag’s business strategy, credentials and value proposition from key business leaders. They will also become familiar with Account Management and Design at Tag and sister company, Smoke & Mirrors.

Career panel sessions known as Tag Unplugged are of particular importance to the program.
