Pinckney Hugo Group (PHG) Summer Internship Program

Are you searching for a rewarding summer internship opportunity? Pinckney Hugo Group is currently recruiting for our 2024 Summer College Internship Program. 

Why Intern at PHG?

The short answer? PHG is a pretty great “somewhere” to do it. We're a 90 something agency in Upstate New York providing strategic full-service marketing solutions to complex clients across a variety of industries. We're on a mission to make a positive impact for our clients of all sizes from local companies to global brands, all while having fun at our Syracuse HQ office! 

Summer internships will begin in May and last until August 2024. It is possible that summer internships could be extended to fall internships, or to full-time work, if mutually desired. We expect interns to work in our Syracuse office (760 W. Genesee Street) in order to get the best experience possible! 

Throughout the course of the internship, you will have an opportunity to learn about your field of study and how it applies to the work we do! Interns will be matched with one functional team for the ~3 month internship so that they can form a deep understanding of the work, but will also have the opportunity to learn about other functional areas of the business.
