another typo, $33,000 should be $333,000. also, you may want to find a value for unique visitors to Times Square every day. The first thing I thought about while reading was how many of those 10^6 people are commuters who would walk past the ad every day for 3 months. Not trying to nitpick, but I think looking into that could really show attention to detail.
it looks nice otherwise, definitely above the normal effort put into an intern application. best of luck!
Thanks a lot, appreciate the feedback. You're right, I just did the respective edits. I really hope Google is able to see how much this means to me.
Again, thanks and have a great one!
You might want to consider tweaking the font for the text on your images. It can be hard to read on some of the images. Maybe have the font be outlined with s thin black line or something.
Your phrase, "utter arbitration" doesn't make sense - that word is about settling disputes. You could say "This number comes from my intuition (and is a little arbitrary), I assume..."
Used to process HR here, reviewed thousands of approved applicants, none of them have anything close to something like this. This is good, but you're trying too hard.
You have three months there to enjoy some food, possibly get to organize powerpoints and do some research. This shows you want to do something big but is tied to nothing concrete. Just fantasy, thinking of getting to a $1.4MM budget that takes 6 months to gain ROI.
This also isn't very Googley. This idea of bombarding Times Square, setup hardware in the middle of a busy street, and beaming things to billboards.
Try a different approach, change your scope.
You have 3 months, 480 to 500 hours give or take. You have perhaps 4 other interns on your team, now it's 2000 hours. You can only get a tiny fraction of Google's leverage but nothing crazy like constant travel, big budgets, or endless cpu power, you don't even get the full Google brand but rather a secondary, Google Maps, and maybe even tertiary branding, Google Maps Yellowman.
What do you do to gain usage? Loyalty? Awareness? How do you create feedback loops and get valuable information to the dev team? How do you identify and partner with other brands?
Your resume page looks googly, but I sure hope the HR process nowadays isn't all about gimmicks. All I can suggest is don't stress out and blow the coding interview (happened to me).

Also in the costs, renting a space to put a booth does not seem to be included?

Interesting idea though. Good luck!
Umm why are the analytics set to strikingly.com?
Why would they advertise at times square when everyone in the world is already eye balling their website everyday?
Also marketing is only needed for things people dont really need or want. A good product sells itself by word of mouth.
