Readying For The RooksPosted by rabble+rouser

Like a teaching hospital, we believe it’s our responsibility as an agency to provide opportunities for experiential learning. Dang…that sentence sounds really stiff. Re-do: Some of the most groundbreaking thinkers of this industry have yet to be discovered, so we want the best and the brightest to get their starts here at rabble+rouser. Better.

After months of planning, preparation and research into the nation’s top creative internships, we were just tickled pink to launch our own program here at the shop. We dubbed it ‘rabble rooks’ and put out a call for applicants back in March. Turns out, Colorado is overflowing with incredible talent, and boy, did we ever get some stellar applicants. Copywriter and art director hopefuls all tossed their hats in the ring in hopes of getting their hands on one of the rockin’ rooks positions.

As a team, we loved looking at everyone’s books and applications. (Applicants, if you’re reading this, we were super impressed. You better believe it.) But, just like our barbers, we had to make some cuts. Hehe…haircutting jokes. Gotta love them. Making eliminations was not fun, but we’re chugging onward toward a happy outcome. This week, we’re in the final steps of the selection process and can’t wait to see what innovative ideas will come out of our newbies in the fall. This is gonna be good…
