The Saxum fellowship is designed specifically for recent college graduates (one year or less) and graduate students. The purpose of this position is to provide graduate fellows the opportunity to expand their knowledge and experience in the field of integrated communications and to help them acclimate to the demands of the profession. Fellows receive hands-on, real-world experience as they work with ‘Saxumites’ on projects including: advertising, digital and public relations. Saxum fellows are considered an extension of client account teams. Fellows work alongside our full-time team, from entry to senior-level team members as they learn the demands and expectations of a professional at Saxum.
