Launch Your Career in Paid Media!
OuterBox is one of the country's leading digital marketing agencies, and we're looking for the next class of paid media associates to join our award-winning team.
This isn't an internship. It's a full-time, salaried career launch — built for people who are curious about how paid advertising works, motivated by data and results, and ready to do meaningful work from day one.
You'll start with 12 weeks of structured, hands-on training inside our Search Marketing Grad Program — learning directly from experienced paid media teammates, working with real tools on real client accounts, and building the foundation of a long-term career in digital marketing. After training, you'll transition to a Specialist role and begin building your own client portfolio.
This is a hybrid work opportunity that will require you to work in-person at our Houston, TX office twice a week or as needed for in-person trainings.
The Program
Weeks 1–12: Training as a Paid Media Associate
You'll train alongside a select cohort of new grads in a structured, full-time program. You'll be in live sessions, building real campaigns, shadowing client meetings, and getting feedback from people who do this work every day.
You'll learn:
After Training: Paid Media Specialist
Once you complete training and demonstrate readiness, you'll transition to a full Paid Media Specialist role on a client-facing team. You'll own a portfolio of accounts, manage campaigns across platforms, and develop the strategic skills that set you up for a Strategist role — typically within 12 months.
What You'll Do as a Specialist
Who You Are
You don't need to have worked in paid advertising before — but you should be someone who:
Nice to have: Coursework, personal projects, certifications (Google Ads, Meta Blueprint, etc.), or internship experience in marketing, advertising, communications, or a related field. No prior paid media experience required — we'll teach you.
