Solve To Take Pop-Up Agency To Campuses In Search For Interns

Agency Conducts Staging Exercise Prior To Hitting Road For University Tour

To recruit summer interns, Solve is bringing its agency on the road. A fabricated agency modeled after Solve headquarters includes a lobby, collaborative workspace and a conference room. A trial run of the pop-up model took place this week at the Butcher & The Boar parking lot across from the agency’s office before beginning the university tour. The pop-up will be placed outdoors on campus quads. Solve’s initial two stops this week include Northwestern University in Evanston, IL and The University of Wisconsin in Madison, WI.

Called the 5-Minute Internship, the internships take place at the traveling pop-up agency. Individuals who perform well during their five-minute internship will be interviewed on the spot for a chance to land a coveted slot in the summer intern program. “Solve’s summer program is focused on actual client work, and we want to see how candidates perform in a real, fast-paced ad agency environment,” said Ryan Murray, Solve Account Director. “We are completely bypassing the traditional screening methods of cover letters and resumes going to blind inboxes.”
