Business Development Intern

ABOUT

Newform is a performance marketing agency that oversees ~$100M/year in paid media spend for some of the fastest-growing tech and mobile brands. We help category disruptors scale paid social through a short-form, content-led approach. Our in-house creative team produces thousands of human-first ads every month, all designed to drive efficient, scalable growth for our clients.

We sit at the intersection of creative, media, and technology—and we’re building systems to make performance marketing smarter, faster, and more scalable.

THE ROLE

As a Business Development Intern, you’ll work directly with Newform’s leadership and sales team to support outbound sales, partnerships, and revenue expansion. This role is ideal for someone who wants hands-on exposure to how a high-growth agency acquires, qualifies, and closes clients.
