AAPC Foundation Summer Internship at RepublicanAds.com

The AAPC Foundation Summer Internship Program offers students a full-time, paid, nine-week applied learning experience with a designated AAPC member firm. Interns gain practical skills, professional networks, and insight into how campaigns, data, and technology shape civic engagement—preparing them to become the next generation of leaders in the field.

RepublicanAds.com is an award-winning political advertising technology company that builds and operates a digital ad platform designed specifically for Republican candidates, conservative organizations, and issue-based campaigns. Unlike traditional political consulting firms, RepublicanAds.com operates as a SaaS platform, enabling campaigns to launch, manage, and measure digital advertising across channels such as connected TV, video, display, and social media. The company focuses on scalable technology that simplifies ad buying, targeting, compliance, and performance tracking in modern political campaigns.

Interns work directly with a team of seasoned political and digital advertising professionals with experience at the local, state, national, and international levels, including leaders who have built political technology platforms, led major digital strategy operations, and staffed some of the most competitive GOP campaigns in the country. This structure provides rare access to industry veterans and meaningful networking opportunities. RepublicanAds.com offers flexible work arrangements—remote, onsite (with an office located three blocks from the U.S. Capitol), or hybrid—to accommodate different preferences and schedules.

• Support sales and outreach functions for a political advertising technology platform
• Contribute to the development of an Election Outreach Playbook, a core project designed to help campaigns understand the firm’s technology and shape communications with future clients
• Help craft targeted messaging, develop outreach strategies for local candidates and agencies, and refine how the firm listens to and interprets campaign needs
• Prepare pitch materials, assist with demo coordination, and participate in outreach calls
• Participate in industry networking opportunities with senior leadership, attend relevant political and marketing events, and gain exposure to how strategic relationships are built within the election ecosystem

This position is ideal for candidates who:

• Demonstrate strong written and verbal communication skills
• Have effective interpersonal skills and practice active listening
• Possess a high degree of organization and attention to detail
• Are interested in political science, communications, marketing, business, public policy, or related fields
