Why is this posting still here, then?
Good question. For a few reasons:

  1. For remembering. If you applied for this internship and then promptly lost the contact info, you can still find it here.
  2. For posterity. Say you're looking for a summer internship, but they haven't been posted yet. You're patient, but you still want an idea of what different companies offer. You can see the postings from past years to get an idea.
  3. For kicks. Maybe we like it this way. :-)

The American Association of Advertising Agencies (AAAA) wants to jumpstart the advertising careers of the country’s most talented multicultural students with its Multicultural Advertising Intern Program (MAIP), which offers 10-week paid, full-time summer internships at real-word advertising agencies. MAIP interns gain practical work experience, establish key industry contacts, and perhaps most importantly, are better prepared to land a full-time job in advertising when they graduate.

Internships are available in the following advertising agency departments:

Account Management, Account Planning, Art Direction, Broadcast Production, Copy Writing, Digital/Interactive Design, Media Buying/Planning, Strategic Planning, Print Production, Project Management, Public Relations and Traffic.

MAIP 2009 runs from June 5 to August 15.
