Come join our marketing and advertising team as an intern! Our marketing department produces quality work for major companies throughout the United States, and seeks an intern who can participate in various stages of a marketing campaign. With everything from Graphic Design, Web Design, Sound and Video development to Account Management; Velocity offers a dynamic learning experience unlike anywhere else. Just listen to what one of our past interns, Brian, Had to say about his time here!
“After interning here for 7 months, I can say that I learned more about advertising/marketing at Velocity Agency than all of my business classes combined. The staff did an outstanding job of making me feel less like an intern and more like an employee. Everyone was very friendly and was more than happy to answer any questions I had regarding the industry. They let me rotate throughout the different departments, ranging from media buying to SEO/PPC, to make sure that I learned how an advertising agency works internally. I saw how hard these guys work, as many of them consistently stayed overtime to make sure their work was of the highest quality. The fact that I’m constantly getting calls and emails for interviews, largely because of Velocity Agency, doesn’t exactly hurt either. If you’re looking for a place to get your hands dirty either as an intern or an employee, Velocity is a great place to boost your career. If you’re looking for a place to do good work for your business, these guys are relentless and won’t stop until the job gets done right.”

It’s only been a year but Velocity has already been the catalyst for so much positive change in my life. I love the people I work with and the autonomy I am granted here to figure out the best strategies on my own. Of course, that includes being held wholly responsible for the results – but if I’m going to excel at something, I need the freedom to do so. Yet, that being said, I’m never more than a walk down the hall away from the help I need! Working at Velocity I’ve become a better writer, a better marketer, and most importantly, a better person. There’s a reason why I accidentally called this place “home” as we were leaving our lunch the other day!

Best Team I’ve ever worked with. And I’ve been doing this a long time.

In the position of bookkeeper, you are usually in the background. One of the things I like most at Velocity Agency is that I am also the office manager, which basically means I am always running around and interacting with my fellow employees. Working at a Production and Marketing Agency, there is always something going on, creative, intelligent, bright young minds always working. I am proud seeing the finished product each and every time. Our productions are always top notch, our services always bring more than what was expected to our clients, due to the diligence of our employees under the direct leadership of the owner of the company who is a real hands on man. This company has an open door policy, and every employee knows that they can, and are encouraged to come to the boss with every question, and everyone knows exactly what is needed to do their job. Every effort is made to ensure that the brightest and most creative people work here, and everyone’s dedication to the satisfaction of the client is always evident in all the work that is produced.
