What this role is really testing
The project
AbbVie Disease-Awareness Mini Communications Plan
A polished, single-page communications brief that outlines a hypothetical disease-awareness campaign for one of AbbVie's therapeutic areas, complete with audience analysis, key messages, channel recommendations, and a sample social post and press quote. This maps directly to the role because it demonstrates exactly what interns are asked to produce: research-backed content and communications strategy presented in a format leaders can act on.
- Research one AbbVie therapeutic area (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis under Immunology) using AbbVie's public website and one reputable health source. Identify the target audience (patients, caregivers, or HCPs), one awareness moment or health observance tied to that condition, and two or three facts that make the issue urgent and compelling. Write these up as a concise 'Situation & Audience' section of no more than 150 words.
- Draft the strategic layer of the brief: three distinct key messages tailored to the identified audience, a recommended channel mix (e.g., LinkedIn for HCP credibility, Instagram for patient community, a company newsroom post) with one sentence of rationale for each channel choice, and a single measurable goal (e.g., 'increase awareness post engagement by 20% over the campaign month'). Format this as a clean table or bullet structure so a recruiter can scan it in seconds.
- Write two sample content pieces to prove execution ability: a 60-word external press quote attributed to a fictional AbbVie Chief Medical Officer that leads with patient impact, and a platform-native social caption (under 280 characters with one relevant hashtag) for the awareness campaign. Assemble all three sections, Situation & Audience, Strategy, and Sample Content, into a single well-formatted Google Doc or PDF with AbbVie's actual brand colors used sparingly in headings, then share it as a publicly viewable link.

Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. For roles like this one, Provieo builds the project as a live case-study page: slides, tables and findings you fill in. You bring the thinking.
Where did this project come from?
Provieo read the AbbVie posting and generated it on 2026-10-22. If you paste the same posting yourself you may get a different project, so two applicants don't show up with the same one.
Is Provieo connected to AbbVie?
No. This is an independent project idea based on a public posting. It does not guarantee an interview.
