About The Position

Hi, we’re Iris, and we’re in the market for a Copywriter intern for our Summer 2026 Internship Program. In the program you will continue to develop your skills as a creative, working alongside our team as they crack tough briefs with sharp concepts. You’ll be fully immersed in the day-to-day of agency life, knocking out copy for ultra-luxury sports cars one minute and figuring out the tone for a new hotel in the next. We want you to bring your weirdest thinking cap to write in both short-form (headlines, teasers, scripts, social) and long-form (scripts, collateral). As you work with our team, you’ll have the opportunity to help produce work for some world-class clients across a multitude of media. This is NOT a coffee-run and making copies internship! Interns will work alongside the rest of our team, attend meetings, and will be fully immersed in day-to-day agency life. Interns will work closely with their manager and colleagues and will contribute to the work the team is doing for clients. Interns will have the opportunity to present to leaders at the end of their internship.
