okay yellow™ is seeking a creative, talented human being to join our crew 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 get amazing experience performing a wide variety of design related tasks. We want this to be unlike any other internship out there.

Some other assets that are extremely important are: a strong creative energy, a colorful aura, a winning personality, a desire to positively impact the world around you, an excitement for life, and a desire to be the best.

In return, okay yellow can offer you a fun, creative work environment and a place where you can learn about: advertising, branding, graphic design, video production, managing clients, growing a business, interacting with people, building relationships, eating pizza on Fridays, blasting music in the office, loving what you do, the power stance, the money dance and many more extremely important things!

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

Once you see the light, send us an email to, internship@okayyellow.com with the subject “Summer Internship Bonanza.” We would love to see any past work you have done, read about your qualifications, find out how thrilled you are at the prospect of working in Charlottesville, and/or anything else you think we should know.
