ternships

BGIN partners with Entrepreneurship at Cornell, a leading institution in entrepreneurship, to bring our branding and marketing expertise to Cornell teams, spanning undergrad, graduate and alumni. From launching our BGINternship program in the Summer of 2016 to our involvement in the E@C Advisory Council, we are pleased to partner with such an innovative entrepreneurial-minded institution like Cornell.

We love to pay-it-forward, so we are bringing in student founders for 3 weeks-in-residence BGINternships. In June 2016 we welcomed the Specdrums team (a startup launched through Cornell’s eLab program), founders Matthew Skeels & Steven Dourmashkin. During their BGINternship, Specdrums landed their brand positioning, as well as a new logo and packaging design. They also met daily with mentors in every marketing discipline.

BG + BGIN

NYC is a center of innovation but not many marketing companies have figured out how to truly serve the startup culture and the brands of tomorrow.

 

The Burns Group is a branding and advertising company dedicated to helping build clients' brands to leadership positions. The experienced team at the Burns Group recognized that while many young companies are products or services in search of an insight and in search of a brand, brand strategy and execution is typically out of reach from a budget and timing standpoint.

 

BG partnered with experts in the startup world to invent a new model and through that process of discovery, the Burns Group​ launched BGIN, with a focus on startup branding, design, consumer advocacy and communications—all made more accessible to young businesses.
