Media Buying Intern (2026 Summer)
TRG, Dallas, TX, United States
Do you watch your local sports team and wonder how advertisers decide to air in NCAA vs. Sunday night NFL? Do you ever think about why you and your friends see different ads? Do you love to negotiate or want to build your network in the DFW media community? If so, perhaps you should consider a career in media investment – an industry that uses data, research, and partnerships to buy media that gets real attention. TRG is seeking an audio/video investment intern. The TRG intern experience is like that of an entry-level hire, because our interns play active roles on the teams they are assigned to and gain exposure to the investment process at TRG and to all media subdisciplines. We take pride in the fact that many of our interns earn the opportunity to join the agency on a full-time, permanent basis.
