Pros:

BooneOakley was my introduction to advertising, and helped me learn a lot about the industry and how it works. I got to work on some of the projects for their clients, listen in on meetings, and feel apart of the agency. Because it is a small agency, I got a chance to work with almost everyone at one point or another, and I felt comfortable asking questions and asking for help.

Cons:

Very few, but I did feel like sometimes I did not have very much work to do, while other times, I felt slightly overwhelmed! Still, I enjoyed the challenge.

Pros:

Although the agency is awarded, BooneOakley is also small. The leadership is friendly, available, and open to ideas. I was able to leave the summer with produced work that was actually picked up by Agency Spy.

Cons:

The internship was very unorganized. I only gained what I did from it because I actively sought out work. I did A LOT of menial stuff, but it all paid off when I decided to go ahead and produce something of my own for the agency.

Interview Questions & Process:

A few emails and networking opportunities at my school got me connected with Greg and David.

Advice for other students:

This internship is absolutely what you make it. I'm sure everybody's experience will be very circumstantial.

Pros:

BooneOakley was my first internship in the advertising industry and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Everyone was so kind and served as mentors, not just co-workers. I got to work on two major projects over the summer with the other interns and enjoyed responsibility that I feel like I wouldn't have had a larger agency.

Cons:

None

Interview Questions & Process:

In order to get the internship at BooneOakley I connected with a co-worker who graduated from the same university as myself, but everyone is open and willing to talk to potential interns. I feel like emailing anyone at the agency could lead to an internship if you have the right attitude/qualifications.

Advice for other students:

If you have a passion for advertising and are willing to work hard then you will love working at BooneOakley.

Pros:

- Everyone is excited to work - great atmosphere

Cons:

Advice for other students:

BO is an incredibly personable, welcoming environment. They expect the interns to work just as the full-time employees. You'll never feel like an intern as long as you demonstrate eagerness to share your talent and learn about ad life.

Advice for other students:

Try to meet with someone who works there in the area you're wanting to intern in. They rarely post internships. Get a foot in the door somehow and be persistent!
