Live an Interesting Life
Delight in Creativity
A Pro-Freshional Internship

Work in Advertising

Every year since 2009, students interested in advertising are paid to run Famous, an agency of interns within Fresh Produce. The Famous team works with real clients and handles their own projects from start to finish: securing leads, managing client relationships, and producing standout creative work.

While Fresh Produce provides mentorship and support, Famous is given a unique level of ownership over their experience and the outcome of each project.

The team works in phases. In spring, the Business Development intern researches opportunities and lines up clients. In summer, the rest of the team steps in to carry those projects to completion.

If you have questions about Fresh Produce and the Famous internship, please reach out to Katrina.
