I’m not sure that many people know this …
… but I started at Gorilla as an intern.
“Paid writing internships in St. Louis.”
That’s actually what I Googled — and how I first found Gorilla.
And what an incredible experience that internship was.
I got to work directly with the two copywriters on staff at the time (Alex and Kyle), working with real clients and interviewing real subject matter experts and writing real ads and articles.
Heck, they even trusted me to write a whole website on my own.
It's been a while since then.
And I've gone from copywriter to senior copywriter to strategist to senior strategist.
Today, I lead the entire strategy team as the Strategy Director — helping to define what we do for clients and how we do it.
Talk about promoting from within.
And I’m not the only Gorilla with an intern origin story.
Sultana — who leads our client success department? Yep, she started as an intern.
Aren — who leads and manages a portion of our strategy department? Yep, an intern.
Jenny — our fabulously talented designer? Started as an intern.
Why am I telling you all this?
❗️ Well, we’re on the hunt for our next strategy intern ❗️
And this is NOT a “coffee-and-donuts” internship.
My Gorilla internship was like rocket fuel for my career.
And I know it’ll be the same for one of you.
It’s a REMOTE, PAID opportunity for an ambitious someone (no degree required) looking for hands-on experience in marketing.
You DON’T need “3-5 years experience” for this (obviously!) — just a sharp mind and a hunger to learn.
And our team takes the growth of our interns VERY seriously.
Brendon has been leading our strategy intern program, and I can say firsthand that the training regimen he's put together is worth its weight in gold.
But hey, why take any of my words for it?
Got check out our intern, Andrew Hill's #AdviceForTheIntern series to see what he has to say about his experience as a strategy intern.

Know of someone who fits the bill?
Share this opportunity with them.
Who knows? Maybe they’ll be leading the department in a few years.
