About the role
Bright & Gray Creative is a Birmingham-based creative studio specializing in brand strategy, video production, photography, graphic design, social media, and web design. We're a small, fast-moving team that values real work and hands-on experience. Our interns contribute to real client projects from day one, gaining portfolio-worthy experience across multiple creative disciplines and a genuine understanding of how a creative studio operates.
This fall, we're looking for an intern who is passionate about content creation—Reels, short-form video, trends, hooks, and captions. If you're the person your friends send trending audio to, analyze trends with a strategist's eye, and get excited about creating high-performing content, we want to talk to you.
