Craft is Hiring: Paid Full-Time Internship Opportunities
January – May 2025 (4 months)
Hello there! We’re Jessica Anderson, Account Manager, and Megan Ruhig, Senior Account Manager. We both love our jobs here at Craft, and are so excited to be expanding the team at the agency with a new round of interns who we’ll help mentor throughout our time together.
Lisa Pasquin founded Craft in October 2015 with the goal of building a small and nimble agency filled with the best people, doing truly great work in service of incredible clients. Today, we’re proud to work with some of the country’s best brands, including Nintendo of Canada, GE Appliances, Tim Hortons, Moosehead Breweries and Penguin Random House. We do award-winning work, but we also have a lot of fun doing it – our vibrant work environment is one of the best things about Craft.
Just like any other members of the team, Craft interns are assigned to dedicated accounts to ensure you get a fulsome agency experience – but of course, you’ll also support on programs across the company as needed. We’re a close-knit team, and we’ve designed our internship program to ensure you have direct and meaningful opportunities to learn from some amazing public relations (PR) leaders.
Craft offers a hybrid work-from-home and in-office model. We expect that during the internship all interns will work from Craft’s office located at the East Room’s 507 King St. E location in Toronto’s east end.
