Description

Day One Agency—Fast Company’s #1 on the Most Innovative list for PR and Brand Strategies—is hiring!

The Day One Apprentice Program is for creative, curious, and driven talent looking to break into the world of marketing. This isn’t your typical internship – you’ll work on real projects, get hands-on mentorship, and gain the skills to thrive in a fast paced, creative environment. If you’re passionate about storytelling, culture, and digital trends, this is your chance to learn, create, and make an impact from Day One.

At Day One Agency, our culture is everything—it’s what makes every day Day One. We love working on ideas that excite us, teaming up with passionate people, and tackling creative challenges together. We want our apprentices to bring fresh ideas, take risks, and grow with us.

If you’re ready to jump in, learn by doing, and be part of a fast-growing, award-winning team, we’d love to hear from you!

What You’ll Learn & Do

From day one (literally), you’ll collaborate with some of the sharpest minds in the industry. This isn’t about fetching coffee (unless it’s for yourself). It’s about getting your hands dirty, thinking big, and helping bring bold ideas to life. Here’s a taste of what you’ll be doing:

Create content that grabs attention. Learn what makes people stop scrolling and actively engage.
Tap into trends before they blow up. Understand how to engage with trending conversations, gather audience insights, and determine what really matters in the cultural current.
Write stories that stick. From captions to scripts, craft narratives that connect across platforms.
Brainstorm, pitch, and bring ideas to life. Work with teams across brand, design, video, strategy, and editorial as we collectively work to turn relevance into legacy for our partners.
Learn fast, create often, and keep growing. Gain hands-on experience that fuels your next big move (hopefully with us!).

What You’ll Gain

An understanding of how client projects come together.
One-on-one mentorship from Creative Agency leads.
Training in storytelling, strategy, and emerging digital platforms.
Exposure to cutting-edge marketing and creative strategies.
Networking opportunities and a potential path to full-time hire.
