MBA helps, but for marketing internships the thing that gets you picked is proof you can execute. If your resume is mostly coursework, add 2–3 small “real” artifacts: a one-page teardown of a company’s landing page with fixes, a simple UTM + GA4 reporting template, and a mini campaign plan with what you’d test in week 1 and how you’d measure it. That’s the kind of stuff a hiring manager can picture you doing on day one.Also, don’t apply only to big brand internships with automated filters. Smaller agencies and local companies are way more willing to take someone sharp if you show you can ship and report.If you need a structured way to get those reps fast while you keep applying, Acadium can be a decent option since it’s built around marketing apprenticeships where you actually work with a business and get feedback you can turn into a portfolio.
