Martin|Williams Velocity Internship Program and Open Houses


I am contacting you to inform your best and brightest students of two exciting opportunities at Martin|Williams Advertising.

Martin|Williams Advertising is a full-service integrated agency in Minneapolis, MN with a roster of national clients that includes Payless ShoeSource, Lincoln Financial Group, Cargill and Anheuser Busch.

First, I would like to invite your 2006 graduates to join the Velocity Program. With hundreds of applicants each year for a select number of spots, this post-graduate internship is an opportunity for graduates to pursue a career in the competitive advertising industry. Internships are being offered in Account Management, Creative (Art Director/Design only) and Media.

Velocity is a 20-week agency immersion designed to give participants real-world experience and a chance to demonstrate their talent to advertising professionals.   The program is a full-time, paid experience. A comprehensive description of Velocity, as well as the program's application process, can be found at velocity.martinwilliams.com. Applications are due March 31, 2006 and the program will begin June 2006.

Secondly, I would like to extend an invitation to you and your students to attend the first ever Martin Williams Open House, hosted by the Velocity Internship Program. Two half-day workshops held at the agency are an opportunity for select students to meet with agency professionals and learn about the advertising industry.


If you have any questions regarding Velocity, please feel free to contact me at MWintern@martinwilliams.com. or have your students check out the Velocity Blog, coming soon to velocity.martinwilliams.com/blog. Again, we look forward to hearing from many of your students.
