Help Launch a Brand-New Business 

Walk Thru Plans Buffalo is seeking a knowledgeable, creative, motivated marketing intern to help introduce an exciting new business to the Western New York market.

Unlike a traditional internship where students support an established marketing department, this opportunity allows the selected intern to help shape and execute the initial marketing rollout for a new company. The intern will take an active role in building brand awareness, developing a social media presence, and helping determine how the business is introduced to potential clients and industry partners.

This position may be particularly well suited for a School of Management or marketing student who would like to use the experience as a case study, capstone project, independent study, or other academic requirement, subject to approval by their college or university.
