At Signal Theory, a copywriter intern is paired with a seasoned copywriter and assigned to one of our focus area teams. They will work most closely alongside that copywriter as well as other creatives (copywriters and art directors) on the team. There will be real work to be done for several of our clients. And the team will look for additional opportunities to provide as broad of an experience as possible.

A copywriter intern at Signal Theory is responsible for bringing smart and original thinking to any project with direction and encouragement all along the way. It’s important for a copywriter intern to effectively process information and feedback about their work. Clear articulation of ideas, creative choices and strategic direction is valued.
