As you most likely know, all the top shops in the industry are taking part in a voyeuristic web cam concept put together by the beloved FWA. It’s safe to say everyone in the industry has the luxury of working in inspiring spaces, so we’re gonna hold off on sharing that for upcoming shows.

Our initial FWA TV introduction revolves around the idea of what’s missing in digital relationships and taking advantage of the very personal nature of a web cam.

Here at BKWLD, we understand and take pride in meeting our clients and peers “face to face.” That being said, in our creative process we acknowledge that a project’s success starts with an in-person/real relationship. Everyone who uses the web, of course, has plenty of digital relationships (hundreds, at the least) where the odds are you’ll never meet that person in reality, nor even know what they even look like.

Our idea is to try to make that first step of introducing ourselves in a more human light to the industry. We all have our personas on the web, so here’s our chance to put our faces out there in a real, awkward, humble, yet confident, and approachable manner.

For the first week’s show, we’ll introduce to you our Sacramento team. We figure’d viewers have been checking other cam feeds here and there, so we broke down our Sacramento team into the following time slots below.

Get ready to watch us squirm…

Ok, not to be too big of a tease, here’s a recent photo of our Sacramento office (box checked). Next week our Seattle office will take part. I know they are chomping at the bit to show off their people and brand spanking new office.

Some fun times right there.

Over the last couple years we have had the opportunity to speak to various classes and programs full of folks enamored with the sort of work we get to do, and clients we get to do it for.  What’s funny is that we are always beside ourselves and left slightly confused with how enamored they are.

Just about this time every year, I get several emails from local, national, and some international folks looking for a summer internship.  And for the last nine we did not offer anything.  The truth is we never saw the value, for them at least, in having a handful of young people running errands, and handling miscellaneous to-do’s.  Nor did we believe we had the time to really offer the hopeful lot what they might be looking for.  But that was then, and this is now…

This is now our 2nd year providing an alternative kind of program.  One not for the faint of heart, lazy, or half-assed.  If you are looking for an internship that sends you on coffee runs, or where most of your time is spent on your own Facebook page, this isn’t for you.  If you are looking to get a first-hand, and hands-on perspective into what and how it all really goes down, this is for you.  It will be fast-paced, stressful, fun, exhilarating, you will want to pull your hair out, you will want to dance in circles.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Over the course of six weeks, a select group of six interns will be fully immersed in one fast (normal in the real world) paced project. You will be a part of client management, pitching ideas, and complete digital strategy including web, mobile, social and experiential…as well as all of the production headaches and home runs that we get to experience in a full day here at the Buk.  All of this will be done for of a real BKWLD client and if your work makes the cut, the client loves it, your work may even be used in the real world.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for a small group of dedicated and hard-working people.  We have no age limits, experience requirements, or education minimums.  However, we are looking for people with an inherent interest in marketing, design, and digital (duh). The right candidates will be interested in careers as producers, creative directors, technical directors, art directors, developers and storytellers. We expect this group to take it serious.  100% attendance, attention, and effort is required.
