The Role
The Marketing Internship at WJA involves creating content, conducting research, collaborating with team members, and managing digital marketing campaigns.
Summary Generated by Built In
Willis Johnson & Associates (WJA) is seeking creative, self-motivated Juniors and Seniors to join our growing Marketing and Sales team for an immersive Spring Internship in Houston. This is not a coffee-fetching role—you’ll own projects, create meaningful content, and contribute directly to the firm’s growth. If you’re passionate about storytelling, digital marketing, and building real-world skills that matter, we want to meet you.
Why WJA?
We’re different. At WJA, our Marketing team is small, fast-paced, and impact-driven. We leave egos at the door, prioritize collaboration, and aim to drive measurable results in everything we do. You’ll work side by side with senior team members, gaining mentorship, networking, and hands-on experience that goes beyond typical internship tasks.
We’re not looking for “just another intern”. We see our interns as valuable contributors from day one, there to tackle projects alongside us. If you embody our WJA values: Consultative, Technical, Methodical, Collaborative, and Proactive, you’ll thrive here.
What You’ll Do
You will design ads, social posts and short-form videos, streamline lead generation campaigns through email and blog marketing, contribute to social media content calendars and report on performance, and conduct competitor research to improve marketing strategy across channels. You’ll support demand generation initiatives through email campaigns, landing pages, ads, and downloadable content, and design marketing collateral including infographics, presentations, ads, and social posts using tools like Canva, Google Slides, or Adobe Illustrator, Indesign, or Photoshop. Collaboration with team members to continuously improve messaging, content, and processes will be central to your role.
What We’re Looking For
We seek individuals who are consultative—thinking critically about audience and firm goals, technical—comfortable with design and digital tools, methodical—organized and process-driven, collaborative—working effectively with the team, and proactive—taking initiative and owning projects end-to-end.
