PROPEL YOUR TALENT 

Sid Lee offers you the opportunity to change the world through creativity and the chance to pursue your ambitions to the fullest. We invite you to join us in creating what truly matters. As an intern at Sid Lee, you will experience real agency life. You will be involved in pitches, briefs, creative work, but most importantly, you will make a difference within a collective of individuals who share the same ambitions. Real clients. Real briefs. Real impact.

YOUR ROLE: COPYWRITER INTERN

As a Copywriter Intern at Sid Lee, you’ll partner team up with an Art Director to craft imaginative solutions for our client’s needs and shape our creative portfolio through sharp, idea‑driven writing. You’ll help bring concepts to life across platforms — from social and digital to film, radio, and emerging formats — always with an eye for craft, tone, and cultural relevance.

You’re curious, collaborative, and eager to learn how strong ideas become strong creative. Whether you’re writing a headline, a script, or a line that makes someone stop scrolling, you’re excited to explore how language works across mediums and moments.

YOUR MISSION 

  • Write copy for advertising, interactive, and design projects across multiple platforms
  • Collaborate with creative teams, strategists, and account partners throughout the creative process
  • Contribute ideas during brainstorms and help develop concepts from early thinking to execution
  • Help craft scripts, headlines, body copy, and social‑first writing that’s clear, compelling, and culturally aware
  • Present creative concepts and participate in reviews and discussions
  • Bring fresh perspectives, curiosity, and experimentation to help evolve Sid Lee’s creative output

YOUR EXPERTISE 

  • Currently studying or recently graduated in advertising, communications, writing, design, or a related discipline (or equivalent creative experience)
  • A strong interest in copywriting, storytelling, and concept development
  • Understanding of the creative process and how ideas move from concept to execution
  • Familiarity with different formats and production contexts (social, digital, film, radio, print)
  • Comfortable writing across tones, styles, and platforms
  • Fluent in English, both written and spoken
  • Curious, collaborative, and open to feedback

YOUR CONDITIONS 

  • Work 35 hours per week, leaving you time to enjoy life outside of work
  • Work in beautiful downtown offices
  • Collaborate with incredible, diverse, creative, and smart colleagues
  • Be part of a culture that values diversity and inclusion, where every voice matters
  • Participate in various activities: parties, yoga, happy hours, lunch and learn sessions
  • Enjoy meals with our bistro that provides (on the house) breakfast and snacks, in addition to a free lunch on Tuesdays
  • Learn from your first day thanks to Sid Lee University, with 3 mornings of training to kickstart your adventure

YOUR APPLICATION

We’re looking for interns who bring something unexpected to the table. Give us a glimpse into your world by including the following:

  1. Your latest resume

  3. A creative execution, in any format you like.*
    You know you’d crush it as a Sid Lee intern — now show us why! Submit your response in any format that feels true to how you’d like to express your idea.

    Note: This isn’t a traditional “answer the question” assignment, and it doesn’t need to be an explanation. We’re interested in how you think, what you notice, and how you turn an idea into something tangible. Follow your curiosity and make something you’d stand behind!

    Using AI as part of your creative process is absolutely welcome.
