Digital Campaign Assistant – Graduate Internship at Ogury

Mobile brand advertising — which refers to advertising designed for smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices — is similarly important in our day and age. New statistics show that in 2022, 91.08% of people in the world are cell phone owners. That translates to over 7.26 billion smart and feature phone users — a significantly large consumer base that is growing by the day. 

A graduate internship charting out the digital campaign strategy of a business, then, can be extremely beneficial to launching your career in such a field. Working with a major company such as Ogury, which has over 1,500 advertisers and has become one of the leading French tech success stories, will do even more in this regard.

• Programming, monitoring and optimising mobile advertising campaigns
