Unrestricted
Internship
WTF?
Welcome to the Unrestricted Internship where four interns will be unleashed into the underground world of advertising. Feel like a misfit amongst the ordinary? Sounds like you’re in the right place. You’ll spend the summer working from Against HQ in the heart of downtown Boise (remote options available too). You’ll get to do real work for real clients, really. Each week, you’ll delve into uncharted territory as you work together to devise and debate wild ideas. The Unrestricted Internship is for rebellious souls who break rules, destroy convention, and go against the grain. We’re looking for people who are curious about the world around them. People with a fierce and reckless imagination. People who aren’t afraid to flirt with boundaries, break down barriers, and pursue the what if.

What if I don’t live in Boise but plan to relocate?
How exciting! Our team is more than happy to help you find affordable housing options in the area.

That’s cool. A hybrid internship is possible too. We hear that’s the future anyway.

Money
You actually get paid. And not in Dogecoin either. You’ll make $18 per hour in cold-hard cash. Dolla dolla bills y’all.
Credit
If you want to submit this internship for university credit, we can help. We’ve worked with universities all over the country.
Recommendations
At the end of the internship, you’ll get a recommendation letter for the job hunt from a somewhat-credible source (us).

Do you want to work from the office? Need to dial in from home? You’re an adult now. You call the shots.
Gear
You’ll have access to some sweet gear like drones and 4K mirrorless cameras to check out and use for yourself.
Learning
Grow your brain with access to workshops, courses, and these fancy new things we like to call books.
Snacks
We’ve got snacks. Oh and drinks too. But if you don’t like sparkling water, this may not be the best fit for you.
“At Against, you’re challenged to be bold and brave. Even the craziest ideas are valued as there's no such thing as an idea too big or too small. You're encouraged to step out of your comfort zone and do something you wouldn't have done a year ago. The founders care about you and want to see you reach your full potential. There’s nothing more you could want from an internship.”

“The Unrestricted Internship is truly the most unparalleled experience I have ever had. Learning from the most badass teachers in the creative industry is something you genuinely cannot experience anywhere else. This internship pushes you to be utterly uncomfortable, forcing you to make amazing work, and you won't settle for anything less. If I could do this every summer for the rest of my life I would!!!”

“Spending months working on a project and seeing that work implemented by clients is one of the many cool perks of working at Against. The skills and experiences I gained from this internship program are immeasurable! I highly recommend this internship to any and every person who enjoys thinking outside the box and goes AGAINST ‘normal’ and ‘mundane’.”

“This internship gives you the opportunity to prove yourself—not as an intern, not as a college student, but as an Against team member. In your interview with the founders, you will understand why you want to prove to them your worth. Their mentorship and the way they push you to create work that is actually going to move people is a way of thinking that is paramount to your education. Bottom-line.”
