The 2025 Cult Summer Internship - Creative (Art or Copy)

Are you a college freshman-senior (or recent grad)? Join the Cult for the summer: June 2 - August 8, 2025.

(Note: office will be closed in observance of Juneteenth on Thursday, June 19th, and for Independence Day on July 4th & July 7th.)

Our Internship Program will seek candidates to work on-site in our newly renovated NYC office, three (3) days a week: Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays. (Mondays and Fridays will generally be remote, although we need you to be flexible.) Candidates who are selected to participate will need to be available for the entire 10 week program.

Compensation: $22/hour (based on a 40-hour work week)

(Interns are non-exempt employees, eligible for overtime pay @1.5 times their regular pay rate. Overtime is considered any work completed beyond the typical 40-hour work week, and requires manager approval before going into overtime hours.)

ART OR COPYWRITING

Role

Be a member of our Creative Department for the summer by diving into one of two intern roles that suit you best:

If you're an aspiring copywriter, you'll work with an art partner and a senior copywriter to come up with modern and compelling ideas, and write engaging advertising copy that communicates those ideas across a wide variety of media channels.

If you're an aspiring art director/designer, you'll work with a copywriter and a senior art director to create and design visual concepts that will result in memorable advertising campaigns.

Opportunities May Include

• Creative brainstorming meetings (and don't forget -- there is no such thing as a bad idea!)
• Exposure to projects from initiation to execution
• Client meetings
• Social media planning & execution
• Lunch & Learns led by agency leaders
  
  

Responsibilities

• Work hand-in-hand with other creatives to help develop effective branding and advertising campaigns.
• Collaborate closely with fellow Interns from other agency departments (Strategy, Project Management, Client Services/Account Management, and Creative) to create an "end-of-internship" project. You'll then have the opportunity to present the group's work to the agency or a real client!!
• Leave CultHealth with real hands-on experience you can leverage and put toward future opportunities

• Creating Visual Impact
  
  

One technique used to create attention-getting advertising is to combine two unrelated visuals. For example, combine shoe and duck. A quick but expected solution would be to put shoes on a duck. But a more interesting idea might be shoes made of mallard duck feathers instead of leather. Or a shoe that is webbed and colored like a duck foot.

Now it’s your turn. Combine the words candle and sunflower. Sketch at least 10 ideas, each on its own sheet of paper. Submit your three favorite ideas. If needed, include short descriptions.

• Brand Building
  
  

Create a new line of organic skincare products. Name it and describe your product concept. Create and design a bottle shape and label for three products in your line. Also, design a promotional poster promoting its launch. You may submit your work in any way you feel comfortable working: sketches, colored drawings, computer layouts…

• Creative Samples
  
  

We want to know who you are as a creative person. Please share five of the favorite things you have created. You can include: photography, advertising, illustrations, designs, poems, raps, paintings, comedy routines, sculptures, cards, games, videos, websites, short stories, comic strips…you get the idea!
