Discovery Channel Marketing Strategy Intern: Interning for the Marketing Strategy Department at Discovery Channel you will get a well-rounded experience not only working very closely with our creative team but also working with various departments (Research, Media Analytics, Press, Digital, Creative, Social, etc.) on a daily basis. What makes our department unique is our hands on approach from ideation to execution no matter if you are on the strategy or creative side, you will work together to create a successful campaign. Our team is fairly large and you will get to work with people with all different skills and learn from them. What makes me proud and excited to work for this department is working alongside such smart and talented individuals that bring the team up as a whole and the fact that everyone loves to collaborate with one another so you never feel like you are alone working on a project. Our department fits into Discovery’s bigger picture of “inclusivity”, meaning that you will feel at home, welcome and that no idea is a “bad idea”
