Art Director Intern

Company: myGwork
Location: Washington
Posted on: January 26, 2023

Job Description:

David Ogilvy famously said, "The way up the ladder is open for everyone."
On the creative side, you can apply to be Art Director, Copywriter or Design intern. We're looking for talent who are insatiably curious and observant. Creative problem-solvers and "dot connectors" who love new experiences and sometimes feel like there's never enough time for all they want to see, read, make, and DO!

Ogilvy creative interns get briefed on real client projects with the opportunity to compete and/or collaborate with all levels of our creative team including ACDs, CDs, possibly even ECDs. Since it's all real client work, an intern's project load is based on the actual client work flowing through the office during the 10 weeks of the program.

Creative interns act as our junior level staff, so they must be ready to jump right in, deliver on their craft and prove themselves!

The intention at the end of our program is to offer full-time or freelance, as long the agency finances and workflow make it possible. Historically, we've had as high as a 70% conversion rate. Bottom line: -the overall goal is for interns to walk away with real client experience and work in their books.

What We're Looking For
Calling all ' Big Idea' thinkers! Talent who can come up with conceptual ideas and can translate a simple concept into a variety of mediums and channels. Great collaborators who know how to partner well with a copywriter and if necessary, can help direct a team of specialists (designers/animators, directors, wardrobe, location/props, etc) to convey a vision. You know how to be scrappy too, if needed - you are a 'Maker' and 'Do-er". Ogilvy sets the bar high for taste level and craft, so we expect quality from anyone who wants to join the team.

The Fine Print
The deadline for applications is January 31, 2023 at 5:00pm PST. Ogilvy Creative Internships are available in Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington, D.C. This year's program allows the opportunity to be in-office and we would prefer candidates to be within a commutable distance. This is a full time, paid internship that runs Monday to Friday from June 5, 2023 through August 11, 2023.

Ogilvy is an equal opportunity employer and considers applicants for all positions without regard to race, color, religion or belief, sex, age, national origin, citizenship status, marital status, military/veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, physical or mental disability. We believe in creating a dynamic work environment that values diversity and inclusion and strives to recruit a diverse slate of candidates to help us achieve that goal.
