Paid Media Internship — Fall 2025

Rising Tide Interactive is currently accepting Media Intern applications for our paid Fall Internship Program. Our interns will have the opportunity to join us in our work with Democratic and Progressive campaigns, committees, PACs, and nonprofits to develop and implement the digital strategies that win races and create change. Also: *every* internship comes with training and mentoring opportunities (this isn’t a gimmick; we want to help you learn!).

As a Media Intern you will:

• Become familiar with media planning and gain proficiency with digital ad platforms, including ad trafficking and technical support.
• Assist in implementing digital media plans, including learning the online advertising trafficking process and maintaining vendor relationships.
• Help track payments and invoices, and learn how to ensure digital campaigns run accurately.
• Assist with department projects, attend webinars and other one-time duties as assigned.

​The important stuff: ​

• Paid internship? Yep! We pay $17.95/hour
• Part-time position (20 hours/week)
• Fall internships typically run from September 2nd to December 12th, but we’re flexible with start/end dates.
• Location: This position is based in Washington, DC. Interns will work a hybrid schedule, with two days a week in the office and the remaining days remotely. Remote candidates must reside in a U.S. state in which the company is authorized to conduct business. All RTI employees are expected to be up-to-date on all COVID vaccinations and boosters.
• We will provide a laptop.

Nuts & bolts:

• Applications will be accepted until the end of the day on Friday, August 8th and must include a cover letter and resume. Final selection decisions will be communicated by Friday, August 15th.
