The Graphic Design Intern will join the USA TODAY NETWORK, the largest local-to-national news organization in the country. The USA TODAY NETWORK Brand & Creative Strategy team at the McLean, VA headquarters concepts and implements creative initiatives, notably advertising campaigns, branding and identity for USA TODAY and 100+ local properties.
If you want to be at a place that embraces quirky, fosters fun, and thinks weird is wonderful, then this is the internship you’re looking for. You’ll dive head first working with other designers, copywriters, art and creative directors problem solving and brainstorming the ‘what ifs’ and ‘why nots’ of brand and marketing issues. You’ll get to concept and design for all media including print, digital, social, videos and even virtual reality. We are creative, smart, geeky, nerdy, passionate people who are driven by storytelling and insist on having a great time along the way. We have board meetings over corn-hole and concept strategic platforms next to taco trucks. So if you want to use your advertising training and talents to sell stories rather than selling ‘stuff’, you should apply!

You won’t be getting coffee. Or making copies. You’ll be really contributing. This is the real deal.
• Our design intern will work on advertising campaigns, logos and various designs for digital, social media platforms, and print.
