Summer Copywriter and Art Director Interns

We are looking for art directors and copywriters. Your title will be intern but your work won’t be. You’ll be doing creative advertising (if it isn’t creative, we’ll move your desk next to the dumpsters) for hospitals all over the U.S. In just 12 weeks you’ll gain experience in TV, print, radio, and interactive. Our past interns have described the experience as invaluable (even after we paid them) and many of them landed a full-time job with us. To find out what they had to say, check out our Facebook page.

About SPM:

Located in a funky, renovated loft in Chicago’s western suburbs (just two blocks from the Metra train line), SPM Marketing & Communications is a recognized leader in branding and integrated marketing communications for the healthcare industry. At SPM, we don’t stop at what’s now or what’s new… we’re continually pushing What’s Next in Healthcare Marketing Communications^®. It’s what makes us a valued partner to our clients. It’s what makes our creative more creative, our strategies more strategic, our blogs more… bloggier. Most importantly, it’s what makes our singular focus in healthcare dynamic and exciting.

Since 1987, SPM has worked with over 200 hospitals, health systems, physician groups, and healthcare-related businesses in 39 states. Our staff of 45 marketing professionals represents all agency disciplines, including business strategy, account management, creative and art direction, copywriting, production, digital, media planning/buying/trafficking, research, and public/media relations.

Though we focus on healthcare, our staff of marketing professionals comes from all walks of life, with backgrounds in product categories as diverse as their personalities. From cereal to beer, and even batteries, our employees’ experience spans the entire marketing gamut. We are a unique blend of “big brand builders,” who have worked at some of the world’s top agencies developing award-winning campaigns for Fortune 500 companies, and “hospital insiders” with graduate degrees in healthcare administration and finance. In fact, there is probably not a single marketing issue that we haven’t tackled—a strong reason why we are  recognized as one of the nation’s top agencies of its type. But don’t take our word for it! Just check with the prestigious publications Modern Healthcare and Advertising Age who named SPM Agency of the Year for 2014-2015.

SPM’s creative, fun, and supportive atmosphere helps all team members perform at their best. Collaboration and teamwork are hallmarks of our culture. Integration is not only the outcome of what we do, it’s how we work. And we take time to celebrate our victories like the launch of a new campaign, winning new business, or simply getting through a busy, deadline-filled week.

As one of the largest healthcare marketing communications firms in the country, SPM is always looking to connect with the best and the brightest talents in advertising. Our employees are part of an exciting, fast-growing company that values and rewards the hard work of its people. We offer summer hours, profit sharing, health insurance, and a casual, fun, and friendly environment.
