We're Hiring: Creative Intern

Fall Creative Intern

Birmingham, AL | Hybrid | Fall 2026
Application Deadline: August 10th

Bright & Gray Creative is a Birmingham-based creative studio that does brand strategy, video production, photography, graphic design, social media, and web design, often all for the same client. We're a small, fast-moving team and we don't do generic work.

We have a strong belief that the next generation of creatives deserves more than coffee runs and a seat outside the room where it happens. Our interns do real work, on real clients, from day one. You'll leave with portfolio pieces you're actually proud of, hands-on experience across multiple creative disciplines, and a real understanding of how a creative studio operates. We're invested in teaching you how this work actually gets done, not just watching from the sidelines.

This fall, we're looking for an intern who lives and breathes content. Reels, short-form video, trends, hooks, captions, all of it. If you're the person your friends send trending audio to, you scroll with a strategist's eye, and you get genuinely excited about making content that performs, we want to talk to you.

WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY DO:

  • Tag along on content sessions with our production and creative coordinators

  • Edit and publish Reels and short-form video content for client accounts

  • Assist with content days: capturing behind-the-scenes footage, b-roll, and photo content across multiple industries

  • Help plan content calendars and pitch Reel concepts based on trends and platform performance

  • Create supporting graphics and visual assets for client social media accounts

  • Sit in on client meetings and be part of real creative conversations

  • Shadow on photo and video shoots

  • Pitch in on events and weddings as needed (yes, some Saturdays)

YOU’RE A GOOD FIT IF YOU:

  • Are fluent in Instagram and TikTok, and can spot a trend before it peaks

  • Have experience editing short-form video (CapCut, Premiere, or in-app editing)

  • Are comfortable behind a camera or phone capturing content on the fly

  • Have a working knowledge of Canva and Adobe Creative Suite

  • Can take direction and run with it independently

  • Are curious about strategy, not just execution

THE DETAILS:

  • Dates: August 31, 2026 through December 31, 2026

  • Priority application deadline: August 10th. Applications reviewed on a rolling basis, so early applicants hear back first.

  • Hours: 8-12 hours per week, flexible around your class schedule

  • Pay: $1,000 flat for the semester, plus class credit

  • Location: Birmingham, AL

  • Option to renew for the spring semester based on performance and fit
