Okay Advertising Summer Internship

Okay Yellow Creative Services and Advertising Agency - Summer Intern/Intern-to-hire

Young, Fresh Advertising & Branding Agency Seeks Extremely Talented Human Being/Web Designer

Okay Yellow is seeking a creative, talented, web-designing human being to join our team this summer. We are a relatively small advertising and branding agency that is doing relatively big things. The human that joins us in our summer adventure will receive amazing experience performing a variety of web- and design-related tasks. We want this to be unlike any other internship out there. We want you to have a glorious amount of fun. We want you to help us develop web campaigns and build brands. We want to give you the opportunity to manage your own projects and build a professional identity for yourself. We want you to grow and learn. We want you to have the best summer internship ever!

We work with a variety of media including Print, Direct Mail, Television, Radio and Web so, where the skill set needed for this position is mainly web-based, there will be opportunity to explore other creative arenas. Some of the important tools we use and need you to have experience with are: Dreamweaver, HTML, CSS, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Some other assets that are extremely important are: a strong creative energy, a desire to positively impact the world around you, an excitement for life and a desire to be the best. Past experience with branding or advertising is a plus.

Okay Yellow is a fun, creative work environment serious about our clients and the quality of work we produce. Here you will learn about advertising, branding, graphic design, website development, growing a business, growing as a human being, creative presentations, building relationships, eating pizza on Fridays, blasting music in the office and loving what you do!

We think this is an exciting and unique opportunity to work WITH people, not just for a company, that are doing what you want to be doing. If this sounds interesting to you, I encourage you to check out our website, www.okayyellow.com. There you can find out more about our company and see the kind of work we produce.

Once you see the light (and in order to be considered) please send an email to internship@okayyellow.com with the subject line "Summer Internship Bonanza" and include your resume, portfolio, and anything else you think we should know about you. The start date is negotiable, but we'd prefer mid-May to early June. Also, this initial position is an un-paid summer internship but there is always the possibility that this could develop into something more.

We hope to hear from you soon!
