FIR Advertising is a student-run agency that develops advertising campaigns for local Portland businesses. Working with real clients, real budgets, and real accountability, this is a unique and tremendously valuable opportunity for students looking to get a leg up on the post-grad job market and continue developing the FIR brand within the community.
FIR’s existing client roster includes Portland State Vikings Football and Indow Windows, with several prospective accounts currently under negotiation. Of particular interest is a fall project working with a national brand and local advertising agency.

- Account Service (client liaison)- Account Planning (consumer investigation)- Brand Strategist- Media + Digital Strategist- Social Media Community Manager- Copywriter- Art Director- Production Coordinator- Project Manager
We have immediate need for social media community managers, web producers, videographers and editors, copy writers, and research specialists.In addition to presenting project deliverables to the client, work produced may be presented to an advisory board of local advertising agency professionals each term.
Participation as a member of the agency will be counted as internship credit subject to Pass/No Pass and will be during the 2011 fall term (though interns are highly encouraged to continue the experience throughout the rest of the school year).
To receive permission to enroll in the internship, candidates must submit a cover letter (letter of interest) and resume to FIR Advertising, Attn: Dr. Tim Christy, no later than September 15, 2011. Samples of work, though not required, are welcomed and encouraged.
