898 Marketing Welcomes Our Summer Class of Interns

Over the past year, 898 Marketing’s internship program has given over a dozen local college students the opportunity to gain first-hand experience with a variety of clients across a wide range of industries. The summer class brings two returning and three new faces to 898 Marketing with everyone looking to expand their experience and knowledge while growing personally and professionally.

“This year has been very different for college students across the country. COVID-19 has taken away many internship opportunities, preventing them from gaining valuable experience in their field and applying their education all while learning in a real world setting,” said Jeff Ryznar, President of 898 Marketing.  “We’re proud to continue our commitment to our internship program and welcome our next group of interns. They will experience the same opportunities and responsibilities this program provides with our clients while continuing to help us improve this valuable initiative.”
