Creative Intern, Copywriting

Edelman is a voice synonymous with trust, reimagining a future where the currency of communication is action. Our culture thrives on three promises: boldness is possibility, empathy is progress, and curiosity is momentum. 

We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging.

Edelman is seeking a Copywriting Intern for our 10-week summer internship program. This role is perfect for a creative, trend-savvy writer looking to gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced, dynamic creative and social environment. You’ll work closely with creative, strategy, and production teams to craft engaging content and storytelling that connects with audiences and brings brand narratives to life. 

You’ll contribute to the development of digital campaigns, brand messaging, and content that’s rooted in culture and aligned with strategic goals. From crafting punchy headlines and CTAs to writing scroll-stopping copy, you’ll play a valuable role in supporting creative initiatives from concept through execution. 

To be eligible, applicants must be a current junior, senior, post-graduate student, or recent graduate.  

Who Are You?

Your love of words is borderline creepy. You stop dinner parties with the etymology of sauté but save the night with a six-syllable synonym for baste. You believe in the Rule of Three. You’re a student of the craft. You sleep with Shakespeare, sneak off with Wallace, and pray at the altar of Strunk and White. And you might even enjoy Game of Thrones. Or, heaven forbid, The Kardashians. You’re a copywriter with every fiber of your being and we want your pens and pencils writing for us. 

A copywriter is both a storyteller and conceptual cosmonaut, creating unique brand experiences through creativity and the written word. The programs you’ll work on are buzz-worthy and social at their core, though they can take any shape or form. From interactive web experiences, social activations, and video content to brand manifestos, experiential programs, and beautifully crafted printed materials—you’ll get to do it all.
