The Intern
Freelancer platform Fiverr has picked up Martha Stewart as a brand ambassador to make a good point about talent.
She plays an underutilized, coffee-slinging intern in this campaign, and her two superiors are clueless in the presence of the multi-hyphenate and global icon.
You’ll be taken right back to the summer before your senior year of college. Unless you’re interning right now—in which case, hang in there, we love ya.
