HAROLD Intern Perspectives
As a recent graduate I wanted to learn more about working with an agency. HAROLD was a great way for me to challenge myself and become immersed in agency life. I worked with well-known clients and amazing teams and won't be forgetting my time as a HAROLD intern anytime soon.”
Brittany Jones
HAROLD 2022 InternI learned so much through first-hand experiences that you’re not always able to get in college classes. It’s such a valuable experience that I highly encourage to any recent or soon-to-be graduate. After the program, I was brought onto the BCW team full time where I look forward to continue learning and growing!”

The BCW teams' professionalism was only matched by their compassion, and I made relationships that I hope will last a lifetime.”
