The role
This is a learning placement for students and recent graduates. As a Media Buying Strategy Intern at MMC, you help build media plans, budget sheets and channel research for D2C brands, B2B companies and educational institutes. A Senior Media Buying Strategist reviews your work and shows you how budget is split across Meta, Google, Amazon and other channels, and how results are measured. The internship runs for 3 to 6 months, full-time. The stipend is subject to interview. If you already have experience, see the Associate Media Buying Strategist role. The internship is open on-site in Indore or remote within India. Remote interns may occasionally be asked to visit our Indore office.

You probably are
- A final or pre-final year student, or a fresh graduate, in any degree

Associate Media Buying Strategist, if a full-time role is open and your work is strong.

How hiring works
- 01Apply. Send your CV, your portfolio or showreel link if the role asks for one, where you want to work (on-site in Indore or remote within India), your current city, your years of relevant experience and your answers to four short questions. A recruiter reviews every application against the role's requirements.
- 02A structured interview. 30 to 45 minutes with the hiring manager. Every candidate for a role gets the same core questions, built from what the role needs.
