For the uninitiated, Sprockets is our program where we hire (and yes, pay) interns to do work for start-ups and non-profits that could benefit from marketing help, but don’t necessarily (read: ever) have a marketing budget.
We’ve found that it’s been a great way to give back to the community, and give interns real-world experience that they can use to build their portfolio. Over the years, we’ve given interns a great experience and donated well north of $250,000 worth of work – helping start-ups grow (creating jobs) and non-profits further their mission to better our community.
