Job Description:

Are you someone who sees the world visually—and knows how to bring ideas to life through design? Do you enjoy turning a creative concept into something that stops people in their tracks, spotting visual details that elevate everything, and creating work across every medium imaginable? Can you bring fresh thinking, elevated creativity, and great ideas to every assignment?

If so, we're glad you're here! Weber Shandwick is seeking a Design Intern to join our creative team for the fall. This is a full-time, paid internship where you'll work alongside account teams, creative directors, art directors, copywriters, and producers.

You'll be treated as a fully integrated member of the team, contributing to campaigns from brainstorming and concept through execution. You'll be working on campaigns for iconic brands and companies that you likely encounter every single day—and you'll gain practical experience and mentorship to help advance your career goals.

POV: You're our new Design Intern

On any given day, you could be collaborating with account managers and strategists on a new campaign, designing social media content, working on a 360° brand platform, or bringing a print or experiential idea to life. You might brainstorm big ideas in the morning, jump into production in the afternoon, and help coordinate execution or event logistics by day's end.

Every day will be a little different—and that's the point. You'll gain hands-on experience across creative design and production while working on campaigns for brands you likely see every day.

What you’ll do

• Collaborate with creative teams, account managers, and strategists to produce 360° campaigns from conception to completion.
• Design and create visually engaging work across multiple mediums: digital, social, video, experiential, print, tech, and more.
• Bring proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite—primarily Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign—to bring ideas to life.
• Share big ideas in brainstorms and with cross-functional teams.
• Assist in event coordination and logistics.
• Monitor brands in traditional and social media.
• Contribute to the day-to-day execution of integrated creative campaigns.
• Explore and use AI-powered creative tools, including Adobe Firefly, to develop concepts, generate visual ideas, enhance imagery, and support creative production.

Who are we looking for?

We think you'll be most successful if you're curious, collaborative, and eager to get involved. You don't need to have every answer—but you should be willing to ask thoughtful questions, learn quickly, and take ownership of your work.

• You think creatively and are comfortable challenging conventional ideas. In fact, it's best if you're wholly unfamiliar with the concept of boxes.
• You know your way around the Adobe Creative Suite and can bring ideas to life in a visually engaging way.
• You speak, write, and edit succinctly and compellingly.
• You're organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• You're comfortable putting out fires, shifting priorities, and working quickly and thoughtfully.
• You bring fresh thinking and elevated creativity to every assignment.
• You understand what sets you apart and are excited to bring that perspective to the team.
• You're a collaborative teammate who enjoys contributing to a high-performing agency environment.

Skills: This is what you need to know—or be excited to learn—in this role

• Proficiency with the Adobe Creative Suite, primarily Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook.
• Knowledge of all old school and latest social media platforms, what brands are doing on them, and what they should do next.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organizational, time management, and project management skills.
• A sharp eye for detail and a commitment to delivering clear, precise work.
• Familiarity with motion graphics and basic animation, particularly Adobe After Effects, is a plus.
• Illustration and drawing skills, including digital illustration and storyboarding, are a plus.
• Familiarity with or an interest in learning generative AI tools, particularly Adobe Firefly, for visual exploration, image editing, and creative problem-solving.

What you'll get from us

• A Buddy: All new hires are paired with a buddy dedicated to making your time with us amazing.
• Built-In Mentorship: Access to former interns through panels and learning sessions, along with advice on making the most of your experience.
• Training and Coaching: Invitations to workshops and ongoing trainings designed to introduce you to the latest and greatest in the industry.
• A Possible Career: Internships have the possibility of growing into a full-time position.
• A Paycheck: This is a paid internship at 40 hours per week.

Requirements

• Recent college graduate or equivalent related experience.
• Availability to work 40 hours per week January through March.
• Portfolio link or relevant work samples demonstrating your creative thinking and approach to design (share anything that conveys how you think—we appreciate work in progress and conceptual thinking, too).
• Ability to work in a hybrid capacity from Weber Shandwick’s Washington, D.C. office.
