Marketing Intern

Overview

DVM Elite is offering an educational, unpaid Practice Immersion Experience Program designed primarily to provide training and experience to current college students interested in marketing within the veterinary industry. This program is structured to complement your academic studies and provide exposure to real-world projects in a supervised, learning-focused environment.

This experience is intended for students currently enrolled in an accredited college or university, pursuing a degree in Marketing, Communications, Graphic Design, Advertising, or a related field. The program is remote and part-time, with hours scheduled around your coursework and academic commitments.

The DVM Elite Practice Immersion Experience Program provides exposure to multiple areas of digital marketing, including social media, email marketing, paid advertising, SEO, analytics, and strategic content development for veterinary practices in the U.S. and Canada. The primary benefit of this program is the opportunity for you to gain practical skills, portfolio-worthy experience, and professional mentoring in a real agency environment.

Learning Objectives and Training Focus

During this experience, you will:

• Observe and assist with day-to-day marketing activities under the guidance of experienced team members.
• Learn how digital marketing strategies are developed, executed, and measured for veterinary clients.
• Apply concepts from your coursework in a supervised setting, receiving feedback to help you build your skills and portfolio.
• Complete at least one project in a chosen focus area (e.g., social media, email, analytics, content) that you can use for your resume or portfolio.

Sample Learning Activities and Tasks (May Include)

Under supervision, and as part of your learning plan, you may:

• Assist with scheduling social media posts in Sprout Social.
• Help build or update metric dashboards in Go High Level.
• Support conversion tracking and basic report preparation.
• Assist with list maintenance and database updates in our CRM (HubSpot).
• Help with quality-control checks or light content-related tasks.
• Participate in one marketing team meeting approximately every two weeks and in our weekly company-wide meeting on Thursdays, when your class schedule allows.

The exact mix of activities will be tailored to your academic program, skill level, and interests, with an emphasis on your educational experience rather than on performing work that would otherwise be done by a paid employee.

What You'll Gain

• Practical, agency-based marketing experience working with real veterinary clients.
• Exposure to B2C marketing strategies in a niche healthcare-related industry.
• Structured training, feedback, and ongoing mentorship from marketing professionals.
• Hands-on opportunities to apply classroom concepts in real tools and platforms.
• A completed, portfolio-ready project that demonstrates your skills and growth.

We are committed to ensuring participants leave this program with practical, marketable skills they can confidently apply in future roles.
