J-school senior wins Carolinas Agency Experience internship

UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media senior Esther S. Lee was named a recipient of the 2012 Carolinas Agency Experience paid summer internships by the 4As Carolinas Council.

Lee, who graduates in May, will intern this summer with McKinney in Durham, N.C.

The Carolinas Agency Experience internship program recognizes UNC-Chapel Hill and Wake Forest University students who demonstrate outstanding potential in the field of marketing communications. As part of this innovative 4As program, winning candidates are then able to choose the agency with which they wish to intern from a list of potential host agencies throughout the Carolinas.

“This year’s Carolinas Agency Experience program has been our most successful to date in terms of attracting passionate marketing communications students and active participation among the Carolinas Council member agencies,” said Brad Bennett, council chair and CEO of Wildfire & Keystone Marketing in Winston-Salem. “Our council’s mission is to attract and retain great young talent in the Carolinas, and we quadrupled the number of qualified student applications in 2012. Congratulations to Esther.”
