How You’ll Make An Impact

We are looking for a summer Global Brand and Marketing Intern to support our ongoing efforts in understanding and targeting our Do-It-For-Me (DIFM) audience. The intern will play a key role in helping us develop a consumer profile by analyzing existing systems and data, with a goal of uncovering critical insights about the DIFM consumer. While formal audience segmentation may not be possible globally at this time, the intern will lay the groundwork for future segmentation efforts and contribute to strengthening KPIs. Additionally, with numerous active and upcoming projects across the team, this intern will provide invaluable marketing and brand strategy support across multiple workstreams, assisting in driving forward key campaign initiatives.

Valvoline Global Operations Headquarters is located in Lexington, KY. We prefer candidates willing to work an in-office work schedule (5x per week).

• Review and analyze data from various touchpoints, such as Google Analytics, social media, and paid media reports, to recommend: 1) how we can better leverage existing tools to capture first-party data about our audiences and inform marketing activities, and 2) how we can optimize creative briefs, assets, and platforms to better meet the needs of our regional markets around the world.

• Contribute to the exciting launch of the evolved brand ‘OMO’ campaign scheduled for Fall 2025. This is a high-visibility project that will require support in areas like messaging, creative development, and asset build-out. The intern will assist in pushing these efforts forward while gaining hands-on experience in campaign management and brand strategy.
