People do read online— they just don't read boring stuff online. Learn how to build brands and write copy people will love.
Viget is a creative place. We create amazing digital experiences for clients, in part by telling compelling stories that strengthen the connection between our clients’ brands and their customers. As our Brand Writer Intern, you’ll work closely with our Brand Team to learn about this form of storytelling and about the workings of a digital agency in general.
You'll experience the entire process of a digital project, including design and development, by working with and shadowing members of other teams. You'll join client meetings to experience presentations and consultations firsthand. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to client work and internal Viget initiatives, and you'll meet regularly with your Advisor to discuss your progress on personalized learning goals.
The Basics
The internship program is offered at all four of our office locations (Falls Church, VA; Durham, NC; Chattanooga, TN; and Boulder, CO) and includes flexibility to WFH (Work From Home).
The internship lasts 10 weeks, from June 5 to August 11.
Interns will be expected to work 40 hours/week (usually 9-5, M-F, but we can be flexible).
Relocation is not provided.
What We Look For (You may not have all of these, and that's okay!)
You’re smart. You can quickly understand complex subjects and have a knack for explaining them succinctly in writing or speaking.
You write and speak well. You take pride in the quality of your writing and can help others improve as well. You have an opinion about the Oxford Comma and double spaces after periods, and you know you’re right.
You are an amazing storyteller.
While not exactly a requirement, we'd love to see relevant coursework in subjects like copywriting, web writing, concept development, brand and content strategy, or strategic and creative thinking. If you’ve studied IA/web design, that’s a bonus.
You want to become a professional brand writer.
You’re a web person, and an early-adopter at that.
You’re organized. Good content is tight. Succinct. Logical. Structured. You reflect these qualities in your work habits.
You get things done. No matter what you're doing, you take pride in your work. You enjoy responsibility and you know that real effort pays off daily.
You are currently enrolled in college, preferably as a junior or senior. We also consider graduate students and recent grads in some cases.
You have top grades or a track record of success.
You have the permanent, legal right to work in the US. We are unable to sponsor visas at this time.

We offer $550/week ($5,500/summer), paid monthly on a pro rata basis. Course credit is also an option.
We provide free coffee, soda, and snacks in the office.
We provide free lunch once a week to all staff (including interns).
We offer several opportunities to connect with coworkers each week, both in-person and virtually, including our weekly all-hands meeting.
