Creative Intern

Job Description

We’re Hiring: Creative Intern (Summer 2026)

Columbus, OH 500 ree; Hot Start Program

Program Length: 10 weeks (Summer 2026)

Schedule: Part-time, hourly (on-site)

We’re doing something new at 500 ree;—and we want the right people to help build it.

This summer, we’re launching the first-ever Hot Start Internship Program, and we’re looking for Creative Interns who are ready to get in, get involved, and actually do the work.

This is not a sit-on-the-sidelines internship. You’ll collaborate with designers, creative directors, and account teams on real client projects, contribute ideas, and see your work come to life from concept to execution.

What You’ll Do

Support the development of creative ideas, concepts, and campaigns

Design across social, digital, presentations, and print

Work from creative briefs and execute within brand guidelines

Participate in brainstorms and creative reviews

Revise and refine work based on feedback

Prepare assets for internal and client presentations

Collaborate with account, project management, and production teams

What Makes This Different

You’ll work on real work, not mock assignments

You’ll help shape a pilot internship program

You’ll get exposure to the full creative process

Top performers will be considered first for full-time roles

What You’ll Gain

Hands-on experience from concept through production

Exposure to real client work across channels

A final presentation + portfolio-ready work

Resume and portfolio development support at the end of the program

What We’re Looking For

Students or recent grads in Graphic Design, Visual Arts, or related field

A portfolio that demonstrates creative thinking (student work welcome)

Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite

Strong attention to detail and design fundamentals

Willingness to learn quickly and apply feedback

Strong communication and collaboration skills

Bonus: motion design, animation, video editing, 3D, or photography skills.

How You’ll Stand Out

We’re looking for people who:

Take initiative and follow through

Push the work to be better

Ask smart questions and apply feedback

Show up as team players and collaborators

If you’re looking for an internship where you actually build your portfolio, sharpen your craft, and make an impact—this is it.
