External Description
This isn't your basic coffee-run internship. This is GSD M Daze of Summer. Come spend your summer days in a daze as you experience our fast-paced creative environment for yourself. Here, you'll actually be working alongside our talented teams. From creative and account leadership to strategy and analytics and beyond, you can expect a real, hands-on competitive experience.
GSD M is a creatively-driven, full-service advertising agency born and raised in the heart of Texas. Today we are a global agency in the music, food and "weird" capital of the world. We've won the Super Bowl, cleaned up at Cannes and continue to help iconic brands win every day. We live by our core values and believe an agency should be able to think like the diverse, multicultural world that it's talking with. We think it's better to be honest than cool. We also play foosball in the agency bar and eat breakfast tacos for dinner.
