Business Development Intern at NewForm
About the Role
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.
