The AMA SF Externship Program will get you a team of professional marketers to fulfill your marketing needs with no cost. Need a social marketing strategy? Or a brand that will make you stand out from your competition? How about a content strategy to showcase your business? We got you covered.
Upon completion of the program, externs will present a proposal with their completed project(s). It is your choice whether your organization implements any of the proposed ideas. Not only do these externs get real-life business experience, but your delegated externs can be hired into your organization towards the end of the program if you choose to do so and/or feel they are suitable as an employee to your company. This hiring process is independent from the AMA SF Externship Program.

I AM INTERESTED IN GETTING MARKETING HELP
FAQ:
What type of projects can an extern team support with? What if I don’t know exactly what my marketing needs are?
- You do not need to know your marketing needs when applying for the program. Our AMA team will be there to help create a project plan for your externs to work on. In the past, externs have supported about three projects over the span of the three month period. Projects included social media, content creation, email newsletters, rebrands, event marketing, and more. Take a look at our last programs to see the projects our extern teams worked on!
