Print Production Intern

Is it you we’re looking for? We are looking for a Summer Intern whose focus will be learning more about the direct mail and print industries. If you are a bright, energetic, and tenacious person with a “can-do” attitude and strong work ethic it could be you. The ideal candidate is on summer break from the Graphic Communication or similar program. We are looking for a student who is a stickler for details, has a love of process, and exists in a learning mindset. We also already have several Cal Poly GrC alumni on the team, so you will immediately be among people with similar backgrounds. At Snowball, you will work with and learn from some of the brightest minds in direct marketing and offline strategy across exciting brands. Direct mail sits at the intersection of digital and offline and continues to evolve. The internship program will involve four rotations, with the student spending time in each department: Client Services, Sales, Creative Services, and Operations. Each rotation will offer the student real-world and hands‑on experience and insight into the operations of a thriving print marketing business. Upon completion of the internship, the intern will acquire practical knowledge that complements their academic curriculum and serves as a foundational step in their career.
