About SimpL: Through the power of a small team of 30 people with ages ranging from 16-30, SimpL has developed a product that uses cutting edge pose estimation research to ensure that no one gets injured while working out. In short, they are revolutionizing and democratizing the intersection of technology and fitness. The company just placed in the top 10 of University startups in Amazon’s Web Services 2020 competition.

About the Role: While your internship would be unpaid, the knowledge and experience you would gain from reporting directly to the CEO, CTO, CMO, and Creative Director daily of a company that’s on the cusp of receiving angel funding in the second quarter, would set you apart when applying for jobs upon graduating from Middlebury. If you prove yourself a good worker, you’ll also be eligible for a spot on the team.

Why SimpL? If you were to join the team, you’d be working for a cause that will change the world. Their mission statement is to democratize fitness and health; to mitigate and eliminate unnecessary injuries in the weight room, to supplement and improve the occupational therapy/recovery process following an injury. Here is a video behind what they are doing:

What they are looking for

The team is looking for a creative mind willing to stretch out of their own comfort zones. The company is entirely “outside the box” and so the way they’re developing a product is in the same vein.

Technical Skills Needed:

  • Adobe Suite (particularly premiere, illustrator and photoshop)
  • Someone who can draw technically and be able to incorporate and manipulate those drawings in adobe illustrator
  • Videography skills (shooting and editing)
  • Marketing skills (social media and branding)

If you have anything you think you can offer the team, REACH OUT.

by

The AEF is a 501(c)3 educational foundation that connects the marketing, advertising and academic communities. They are part of the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), the largest marketing trade association in the world, representing top global brands.   In 2018, they launched the MADE (Marketing & Advertising Education) Program and have connected over 100 students with paid summer internships at top companies such as L’Oreal, IBM, McCann, Ogilvy, Sephora, NBCUniversal, Mastercard, ViacomCBS, Anheuser-Busch, BBDO and Deutsch.  

MADE Internship Opportunity functions as the “Common App” for marketing and advertising internships, making it easy for students to navigate a complex industry. Through this process, MADE exposes students to opportunities they may not have been aware of or thought they had access to. Organizations benefit from being able to select top talent from a pool that spans racial, ethnic, geographic, and socioeconomic groups, breaking down traditional barriers to finding strong talent.

Once a candidate applies, they are connected with potentially dozens of internship opportunities at their partner companies based on traits such as critical thinking, leadership potential and intellectual curiosity.

MADE is not just a summer internship program- they are cultivating a diverse community of marketing and advertising industry leaders through year-round virtual events, case competitions & resources.

During their info session, they will discuss how to apply, what they’re looking for in candidate, what sets candidates apart, and other tips.

Date: Wednesday, November 11
Time: 5pm -6pm
