Backstage Pass Internship Program

Drake Cooper’s Backstage Pass internship program is back for the summer of 2015. From our friends at DC:

The Backstage Pass is the largest advertising internship in Idaho. Hundreds of resumes are submitted each and every year for the most competitive advertising internship in the state with only six interns being selected to become Drake Cooper-ites for an entire summer. We can teach you art, copy & code. You bring the ambition.

As a Backstage Pass Intern you will be working with a team to create strategic and creative work for real clients. You’ll get a taste of every aspect of advertising from some of the most talented folks around. You’ll learn a lot about yourself in a short amount of time. You’ll probably come away knowing whether advertising is your thing or if it’s time to join a Hanson Brothers tribute band (it’s certainly the more profitable career choice). You’re going to work your ass off, but we’re confident you’ll have a good time too. One thing is certain; our Backstage Pass Internship program will provide you with a line item for your growing resume that will be way more beneficial than “Agency Barista.”

Spend Drake Cooper’s money

Seriously, you can help spend Drake Cooper’s money.

Well, donate it to the Idaho Food Bank, that is.

Here’s the deal. Drake Cooper, through Ponywolf, has created Bad Company Party. As they described it, “This year we’ve gamified the annual company get together so you take the reigns and turn the booze filled, table dancing, office gossiping company party into something good for others.”

Now, for the spend Drake Cooper’s money part…

“For every share of Bad Company Party, Drake Cooper will donate $1 to the Idaho Food Bank up to a total donation of a $1000 between now and December 31st, 2014. Make sure you use the social links at the beginning of the game so your share gets counted and money goes to help those in need.”

Of course, this isn’t the first time that Drake Cooper has stepped up to support the Idaho Food Bank during the holidays. But this year’s effort also offers the side benefit of demonstrating Ponywolf’s capabilities too. Well played, DC, well played.

Now, go forth and play. Share. Repeat.
