As an advertising intern at Slingshot, you'll get hands-on experience. Like this website for instance, an intern wrote the copy you're reading right now, created the site you’re looking at, and filmed the videos you've just watched. And of course, account interns “directed” the whole thing. If you’re interested in an internship where you actually create something, then continue reading.
The Slingshot Internship is an opportunity to gain real experience with real clients in a real agency. You will participate in every aspect of a campaign from client interest to execution. The 10-week program is similar to an entry-level position at the agency, but with a little more learning and guidance. You will even have a mentor to offer nuggets of wisdom and insight along the way. And to answer the question you’re afraid to ask, yes, the internship is paid.

Departments with positions available:
Account Service
Creative
Media
Programming
The projects for each position will differ as the client work changes, but the uniting factor is the Intern Project. This site was created as the intern project for 2008. It was entirely intern written and driven, like the human-feet-powered car from that cartoon that I can’t name directly because of copyright issues. The client was Slingshot, which was convenient, since we were experiencing the service we would be advertising.

The list of qualifications is short, and therefore pretty important:
Good attitude
Willingness to learn
An interest in a career in Advertising, Marketing, or Programming
If you are applying as an Art Director or Copywriter intern, please send a portfolio or samples of your university work.

Opened in 1995, Slingshot is a multi-dexterous agency that creates advertising that ranges from traditional to interactive to viral. The site, www.DavidandGoliath.com , and the name Slingshot do not refer to the size of our clients, but rather the idea that no matter what the problem, there is a specific answer that will solve it. Sometimes there are many answers, such as television and web design working together. Regardless, Slingshot is committed to creating perfect combinations for our clients.

Originally a farming warehouse for BF Avery and Sons, the Awalt Building was built in 1905. It housed furniture after the 1950s until it became an uninhabited building slated for demolition. It was rescued and renovated in 2000 by Slingshot Founder and CEO, Owen Hannay.

The Slingshot building is located in the historic Dallas West End. Restaurants and nightlife are all within walking distance, as are history and art museums such as the 6th Floor Museum (JFK) and the Dallas Art Museum. The Dart Light Rail Station offers access to other vital points of the Metroplex. Venues like the House of Blues and American Airlines Center (both less than 2 miles from the building) offer mainstream performances, while smaller bars and clubs bolster Dallas as a growing local music scene. A few miles away, Uptown offers local theaters and even more culturally diverse culinary fare. Texas is known for its heat, but there are plenty of ways to beat it as long as you know where to look, and the Awalt Building (home of Slingshot) has massive air conditioners.
