In this fast-moving world, companies find it difficult to keep up with the changes and opportunities in the advertising industry yet remain on leading edge. This is where Shake Interactive enters the picture. Shake is a unique international online marketing agency and digital consultancy that specialises in ensuring that its clients maximize their return on investment within a given time frame. By implementing innovative ideas on established, reputable platforms and making sure that their clients’ teams stay on top of their campaigns, Shake is able to deliver on its promises.
As an online marketing agency, Shake has gained a wealth of experience through sharing information across borders from its agencies in South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States, But it hasn’t always been like this. Eight years ago, Shake began as a small company that built websites for a small number of loyal clients. The company evolved rapidly into the powerhouse that it is today, and continues to evolve and expand its client base into the future.
Shake Interactive’s services cover a range of different industries, calling on the team’s creative abilities to create unique, individualized campaigns which are tailored to the customer’s goals and objectives. The dedicated, entrepreneurial team at Shake is divided into three main departments: Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Social Media Marketing (SMM), and Development – which are held together by Shake’s competent and dynamic team of account and project managers. As an intern, you will work in one or more of these departments, thus gaining exposure to all facets of the particular department.
An internship with Shake Interactive will offer you the opportunity to do hands-on work with campaigns designed for international companies.

Some examples of skills you will develop, and projects you will participate in are below:
1. Unique campaign idea generation: Learning not just the basic tasks that need to be
completed in order to bill a client, but also strategies to add value to campaigns.
2. Problem solving and problem identification: This skill lies at the heart of Shake’s day-to-day work, and the advertising industry as a whole. For example, say a decision made by a client has a negative effect on its campaign for some reason. Shake’s responsibility is to figure out why this decision has had a negative impact, and how to correct the problem!
3. Campaign strategizing: Each time Shake gets a new client, the team at Shake analyzes the client’s current marketing strategy, and designs a new strategy which reflects the client’s goals as well as good business practice. This work often necessitates dealing with in-house development teams, and the politics within that team.
Does this sound like something that appeals to you? Well then you should apply today for an internship with Shake Interactive, a fantastic opportunity if you are studying or considering a career in advertising or communications. An internship with an international advertising agency will look absolutely fantastic on your resume – so go ahead and apply!
