POSITION RESPONSIBILITES

We’re looking for a Digital Designer Intern who is curious, imaginative, and eager to bring bold ideas to life across multiple platforms. This isn’t your average design internship—you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to real-world projects while exploring different areas of digital creativity.

You’ll work closely with our Moving Image Design Team and wider creative studio, gaining hands-on experience in concepting, designing, and producing digital assets that shape campaigns, experiences, and stories.

 

What You’ll Do

  • Design for Campaigns:Assist in creating digital assets for major brands across web, social, and experiential platforms.
  • Motion & Visual Design:Support the team in developing animations, layouts, and branded visuals for use across short-form and long-form content.
  • Content Adaptation:Help translate core campaign ideas into different formats (social media graphics, digital banners, presentation decks, etc.).
  • Creative Research:Explore design trends, emerging digital tools, and visual culture to inspire and inform projects.
  • Team Collaboration:Join brainstorms, design reviews, and production meetings to learn how ideas evolve into execution.
  • Experiment & Explore:Depending on projects and your interests, you may dive into areas such as UX/UI, AR/VR design, or interactive media.
     

What You’ll Bring

  • A passion for digital design, visual storytelling, and creativity
  • Curiosity about new technologies, platforms, and design practices
  • Strong eye for layout, typography, and visual composition
  • Familiarity with Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, or similar tools)
  • An open mind, collaborative attitude, and willingness to learn
  • Bonus if you’ve explored motion graphics, Figma, 3D software, or prototyping tools—but not required

What You’ll Get

  • Hands-on design experience contributing to live projects for global brands
  • Mentorship from digital designers, motion artists, and creative directors
  • Opportunities to develop portfolio-worthy work that shows range and impact
  • Exposure to different areas of creative production, from concept to execution
  • The chance to attend shoots, creative sessions, or immersive live experiences
  • A role that evolves with your skills and interests, giving you space to grow as a designer

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION:
Launched in 2011 providing clients with quality, agility and innovation in a rapidly expanding and evolving content marketplace, something that remains at the core of their offering. In today’s cluttered digital landscape, our organisation believes that to truly stand out they must make the audience interact with content, not just be a passive viewer. This is why we put the fan first, creating content experiences that inspire and captivate – helping ambitious brands and agencies connect deeper with their audience. We are based in a 40-seat East London studio which is brimming with expertise – artists, strategists, creatives, producers, animators, technologists and developers – all crafting and collaborating to deliver world-class content experiences. This expertise has seen our organisation produce Europe’s largest 360 fan experience for Live Nation, transport ABC television audiences through time in a world first virtual reality experience, and produce the UK’s first immersive gym group for Studio Society. In addition, as the pioneering industry continues to break new ground, we remain at the forefront of creative innovation and experiential storytelling.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS:
On-site Supervision and Support
Our internships include 24/7 on-site staff to support students working and living abroad. All students will also report to a supervisor at their internship site. Supervisors provide and oversee daily tasks, introduce the intern to team members, and mentor the intern in organizational agility, skill acquisition, and career readiness. Interns complete a midpoint and final evaluation, and supervisors complete a final evaluation of their interns. All work responsibilities and projects are approved in advance.
