Creative Internship, Summer 2024

Internship Program dates: Monday, June 10 - Friday, August 16, 2024

Edelman is seeking a copywriter intern and an art director intern for a 10-week summer internship program, beginning Monday, June 10 and ending Friday August, 16. In order to be considered, you must be a current junior, senior, post-graduate student, or recent graduate.

If chosen, you will have the opportunity to work with one of Edelman's largest clients and learn from Edelman’s award-winning Creative team. Our growing creative teams are the masterminds behind some of the world’s most talked about work. Whether we're teaming up with RZA to replace an outdated and racist ice cream jingle, fighting for intersectional environmental justice with TAZO Tea, or creating a hotel for the world's most devoted Taco Bell fans, the work we create is designed to capture attention and get people talking. It’s not enough to be culturally relevant—our briefs demand that we change culture around us.  

While interning with us, you will be assigned real client projects, tackling briefs alongside our dynamic group of Creative Directors, Design leads, Copywriters and more. To support your creative development, each intern will be paired with craft-specific mentors and managers. The experience will be integrated – Interns will get to know and learn the process and integrated approach with strategy creative, production and project management, and they will interface with client leads, account management and much more.  

This role is hybrid and interns will be onsite 3 days/ week at our New York office. Interns are paid $20/ hour and are expected to work a full-time schedule (40 hours/week).
