Internship Opportunities at Joel Warady Group
At the Joel Warady Group, we believe that no single individual possesses all of the answers. Our company culture is one of collaboration, sharing of ideas, and experimentation. We truly believe in the philosophy that it is better to try and fail, than never to try at all.
To help support our goal of always learning, and working with new concepts and techniques, we have developed an Internship program at the Joel Warady Group. For each internship class, we select 2-3 individuals who we feel will best contribute to our collective goal of providing innovative methods of brand building and integrated marketing to our clients. We look to learn as much from our interns as they learn from us.
Our interns play an integral role in all of the work that we perform on behalf of our clients. The Internship Program is a hands-on, jump in and sink-or-swim opportunity to experience marketing consulting in a real-world setting. The opportunity is not for everybody. We work you hard, we have high expectations, and we expect our interns to contribute from day one. While we won’t hold your hand, we relish our mentorship role and will provide you with the knowledge and guidance that will assist you in your current and future work. For the right individual, it is an experience that could help you make your next life decision.
If you think you have the right attributes to be considered for the next Joel Warady Group internship class, please forward your resume to Chasidy Atchsion, our Director-Client Management & Development. Her email address is chasidy@joelwarady.com. We only want the best of the best, and we review resumes throughout the year to fill the next open position. We look forward to hearing from you if you truly feel you can make a significant contribution to our consulting group.

Hunt
Intern
"As
an
intern
with
the
Joel
Warady
Group
I
received
the
opportunity
to
exercise
my
creativity
to
the
fullest. From
the
very
first
day,
I
was
given
challenging
tasks
and
a
great
deal
of
responsibility. The
environment
was
tough
but
nurturing,
and
I
truly
feel
that
I
emerged
from
my
experience
at
the
Joel
Warady
Group
with
a
newfound
sense
of
confidence.
The
foundation
of
knowledge
that
I
gained
here
will
be
of
service
in
my
future
life,
professional
and
beyond."
Julianna
grew
up
in
the
small
community
of
El
Segundo,
just
outside
of
Los
Angeles,
California.
She
attended
El
Segundo
High
School
but
always
knew
she
would
leave
Southern
California
in
the
hopes
of
broadening
her
horizons
and
gaining
diverse
life
experiences.
The
opportunity
to
fulfill
these
desires
came
in
the
form
of
Northwestern
University,
where
she
enrolled
in
the
fall
of
2001.
At
Northwestern,
Julianna
pursued
a Communication
Studies
major
with
a concentration
in
English.
She
graduated
with
a Bachelors
Degree
in
March
2007.
Julianna’s
previous
work
experience
has
been
a medley
of
customer
service
and
media-based
positions.
All
of
these
gave
her
the
hands-on
experience
she
needed
to
realize
that
she
wanted
to
seek
a career
in
the
communication
fields.
With
a background
in
both
English
literature
and
media
studies,
Julianna
feels
that
she
is
ready
to
combine
her
interests
and
get
to
know
the
dynamic
world
of
marketing.
She
feels
strongly
that
setting
realistic
goals
and
taking
active
steps
to
achieve
them
will
always
culminate
in
success.
She
hopes
to
use
this
opportunity
with
the
Joel
Warady
group
to
strengthen
her
creative
thinking
and
problem
solving
skills,
and
ultimately
make
the
kind
of
valuable
contributions
that
will
leave
an
impact
on
both
clients
and

Jonathon
R.
Webster
Intern
"Having
an
'Ah-Ha
Moment'
is
something
that
really
sticks
with
you. The
team
was
able
to
pull
my
head
out
of
the
books
and
make
me
think
more
creatively. They
showed
me
that
as
a
marketer
I
am
able
to
express
my
professional
opinion
to
provide
an
answer,
something
never
said
in
school
because
in
order
to
get
an
A,
it
is
required
to
cite
and
prove
every
statement
one
makes
from
some
old
guy
in
a
book. That
is
a
very
liberating
feeling
to
know
that
you
have
your
own
answer."
Jonathon
is
from
Traverse
City,
Michigan.
He
grew
up
with
a
big
city
heart
and
felt
the
need
to
get
out
and
see
bigger
and
better
things.
After
graduating
at
the
top
of
his
class
he
packed
his
bags
and
moved
to
Chicago
to
attend
Northwestern
University
where
he
is
currently
a
sophomore
pursuing
an
Economics
major.
Lastsummer,
Jonathon
interned
with
Orbitz
in
the
Business
Intelligence
department.
He
was
given
an
independent
project
where
he
was
told
to
improve
the
companys
knowledge
about
its
consumers.
Through
rigorous
data
analysis
using
web
analytics,
Jonathon
and
another
intern
were
able
to
segregate
Orbitzs
customers
into
three
buckets,
each
with
distinct
buying
habits.
Orbitz
was
able
to
use
this
information
in
several
future
projects
and
has
changed
the
way
they
market
to
consumers.
To
exercise
his
creativity,
Jonathon
takes
on
several
graphic
design
projects
in
his
free
time.
Recently,
he
was
enrolled
in
a
marketing
class
where
he
realized
his
natural
ability
and
passion
for
the
field
which
allowed
him
to
exercise
his
creativity
most.
Jonathon
hopes
to
bring
great
ideas
to
Joel
Warady
Group
while
learning
real-world
marketing
strategy.

Daniela Sol
Intern
“My internship at the Joel Warady Group has certainly been a very rewarding experience. There is a great mentorship environment, and I learned things I never would have learned from a marketing textbook. I was given a lot of responsibility, so I have become a more confident and well-prepared person for whatever challenges lie ahead.”
Daniela lived in Miami for seven years before moving to El Salvador, where she attended the American School. Daniela is fluent in written and spoken English and Spanish. In 2004, she enrolled at Northwestern University and is pursuing a Communication Studies major with a minor in Business Institutions. She is currently a Senior.
In a previous internship, she worked as a Junior Executive Art Director and Copywriter at The San Jose Group in Chicago, where she was involved in branding campaigns and new business pitches. Daniela realized art direction was about focusing on the client and the consumer rather than the art director’s vision alone. Clients have real sales goals and marketing strategies that must be kept consistent at every level, including within creative executions. Daniela is looking to strengthen her previous experience with a real-world opportunity in marketing consulting, allowing her to look at both sides of the same coin. |
