• Contribute ideas and creative work on active campaigns across social platforms
• Participate in brainstorms, ideation sessions, and cultural trend research
• Collaborate with other interns and teams on a final project or case study
• Attend cross-departmental meetings to understand how strategy, production, and editorial work with creative
• Present your work at the end of the program in our Month-in-Review

You’ll also be paired with a mentor from the creative team to guide you, give feedback, and help grow your industry connections.

What are we looking for?

• A passion for social media, internet culture, and creative storytelling
• Strong writing or design skills (we’re open to both writers and art directors!)
• Curiosity and a desire to learn how a creative agency works
• Ability to collaborate with others and take feedback with an open mind
• A portfolio or samples of your work (personal projects count!)

We welcome applicants from all educational and career backgrounds—what matters most is your creativity, curiosity, and energy.
