Internship Description

As a Graphic Design Intern for Satori, you’ll have the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the dynamic world of marketing and communications. You'll collaborate closely with our team, gaining hands-on experience while working on some of our key projects.

In this role, you’ll become a “Satori Sponge,” with the primary mission of being an avid learner. You'll soak up knowledge from every team member and continually seek wisdom through insightful questions.

You’ll learn that there’s a huge difference between making things look cool and crafting a unique visual identity that breathes life into a brand. You’ll delve into the intricacies of design strategy and discover how to create designs that align with the goals and objectives of clients. And best of all, you’ll become equipped with the real-world knowledge and experience you can’t get from textbooks. You’ll also learn about other real-world things, like jaw-dropping deadlines (hey, we’re not gonna sugarcoat things). Think of it as a three- to four-month, on-the-job boot camp, providing a firsthand look into what it’s really like to work as a graphic designer.

Part of that reality is bringing your A-game every day. At Satori, mediocrity is not an option for any of us. We expect your unwavering commitment, and we consider 150% effort the minimum standard—because that’s what we give our clients.

Qualifications

- Coming into the Satori office up to five days a week and working up to 40 hours per week.
- Creating visually appealing and engaging graphics for digital and print media, including social media posts, infographics, print materials, websites and emails.
- Taking concepts and designs developed by our creative team and crafting them into deliverables that align seamlessly with the client's brand identity.
- Assisting in brainstorming and conceptualizing creative ideas for client projects, ensuring alignment with brand guidelines and marketing objectives.
- Contributing ideas and concepts during brainstorming sessions.
- Taking ownership of your projects; not just checking tasks off your list.
- Asking a LOT of thoughtful questions. Learn, learn, learn!
- Being happily willing to assist with Account Service tasks in addition to creative tasks (it’s a great way to learn how the entire agency process works!).
- Having humility and knowing where you fit it at the agency.
- Being able to think creatively and act on those creative inclinations (we want to hear ALL the great ideas you were too afraid to share in class!)
- Memorizing and understanding the Satori Core Values as a way of life.
- Performing other assorted duties, as assigned.
