From My Dining Room Table.

the “audenship” a term coined for our 12 week immersive internship program curated for young creatives to deep dive into small business & gain valuable career assets!

In 2018, our internship program was launched. Stemming from the simple idea that all students deserve an opportunity that checks the experience box on their resume. We set out to create an internship program that put the students abilities front & the amount of experience they have a fleeting thought!

Our internship program is a 12 week immersive learning experience for juniors and seniors looking to expand their experience in a creative environment. During the 12 weeks you spend with Auden & Company you will be exposed to

Each week is dedicated to exploring an asset that can be added to your creative toolkit that will help you build the foundation of your creative career. We encourage our internship participants to take advantage of the judge free zone and apply what they have learned in the classroom to their task list at ACO!

WEEKLY TEAM MEETINGS

We believe in conversational collaboration. As a part of our internship program, we ask that our interns be available for 2 to 3 meetings a week. Team meetings are essential to our dynamic as a team, as each department within the company relies on one another for creative success.
REAL RESPONSIBILITIES

During your 3 months here at Auden & Company, you will be tasked with responsibilities that directly correlate with our goals for the quarter. Whether you are leading a client project, running our social media channels or helping on the back end, I believe in real experience.
HEADSHOTS & PHOTOSHOOTS

As a way of saying thank you for dedicating your summer to Auden & Co, you will be asked to pose for professional headshots! In addition we are huge believers in capturing candid moments to preserve the memories of our summer through photos. So be camera ready!
TEAM OUTINGS

Summer is fun & so is your internship here at Auden & Company. We go on monthly adventures as a team to bond outside of the creative workdays. Our team outings can range from a day at the beach to Saturday at the Cleveland Flea. No business talk allowed on these trips just bonding in the summer heat.
BUSINESS CONVERSATIONS

We love small business! As a part of the internship program, we will meet with 2-3 small business owners for what we like to call “Business Conversations.” These conversations are dedicated to exposing our interns to other industries within the Cleveland area, in hopes of making a connection for the future.
TEAM LUNCHES

I’ve always believed that the greatest conversations happen over a shared meal! Our team lunches are a monthly break from the normal lunch hour, where we all bring one dish to share with one another. I encourage stories to be shared, I want to hear laughter and of course, food babies are welcome!
