The Gig

We arent looking for someone to fetch coffee; were looking for someone to fetch brilliant ideas. We need a word-obsessed, culture-hungry Creative Copywriter Intern to join our madhouse for a 3-month sprint.

Working side-by-side with our Senior Copywriter, you will be thrown right into the creative fire. You’ll help us dream up scroll-stopping campaigns, build out wild Proof of Concepts (PoCs), and craft the kind of killer narratives that win client pitches. We also want you to be our resident "Prompt Whisperer"—getting your hands dirty with Generative AI tools to push our ideation further and faster. If you love words, weird ideas, and figuring out what makes audiences tick, pull up a chair.

What You’ll Actually Do

• Be the Senior Copywriter’s Right Hand: Tag-team briefs, bounce ideas around, and help turn strategic insights into pure creative gold.
• Write the Good Stuff: Draft everything from punchy social media copy and digital ads to the heavy-hitting concepts for PoCs and pitch presentation decks.
• Tame the Robots: Play around with Generative AI (Midjourney, ChatGPT, Claude) to speed up research, brainstorm weird angles, and iterate on concepts.
• Collaborate like Crazy: Team up with art directors, designers, and strategists. You’ll learn how words and visuals crash together to make great ads.
• Kill Your Darlings: Learn the fine art of editing, refining, and polishing copy until it’s sharp, on-brief, and grammatically bulletproof.

What You Bring to the Table

• The Paperwork: You’re studying or recently graduated in Journalism, Visual Communications, Mass Communications, Fine Arts, English Literature, Sociology, or something equally focused on art, culture, and human behavior.
• A Way with Words: You know the rules of grammar well enough to know exactly when to break them. You can adapt your tone from "corporate sleek" to "Gen-Z chaotic" on a dime.
• AI Curiosity: You aren't scared of Generative AI; you’re excited to see how it can be used as a brainstorming buddy in a real agency workflow.
• An Eagle Eye: Typos terrify you. You sweat the small stuff.
• The Receipts (Portfolio): You have a book to show us. It doesn’t need to be produced agency work—student campaigns, a brilliant blog, clever social accounts, or spec ads for a brand you love all count.

The Payoff

• A Sweaty, Beautiful Portfolio: You’ll leave with real work, real pitch experience, and pieces that will actually help you land your next gig.
• Brain Trust: 1:1 mentorship from a Senior Copywriter who has been in the trenches and wants to teach you the ropes.
• Industry Street Cred: You'll build a network of creative weirdos who will champion you long after your 3 months are up.
