We're Hiring: Creative Intern

Summer Creative Intern

Birmingham, AL | Hybrid | Summer 2026

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.

We're looking for a summer intern who can move between the design side and the content/social side without missing a beat. If you love making things look good, understand how content performs, and have an interest in video, we want to talk to you.

WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY DO:

  • Create graphics and visual assets for client social media accounts

  • Support website design and updates

  • Assist with content creation across multiple industries

  • 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 proficient in Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign)

  • Have a working knowledge of Canva, social media platforms, and basic content strategy

  • Have some exposure to CSS/HTML or web design

  • Can take direction and run with it independently

  • Are curious about strategy, not just execution

THE DETAILS:

  • Dates: Mid-May through Early August

  • Pay: $800 flat for the summer (~80-100 hours); Class credit is offered

  • Location: Birmingham, AL‍ ‍
