internship opportunity at the Mild Manor
About US
Mild Manor Media is a creative agency specializing in advertising, marketing, and multimedia content production. We both grew up watching too much TV and we never grew out of it. We’re always seeking fun, fresh new ways to approach our work, and pride ourselves on having distinctive visual styles. Our team is small but we all believe in a multidisciplinary approach to our work and have made a point to hone our skills in many areas. We’re looking for a motivated intern to join our team—someone who’s excited to branch out of their skill set and get a feel for how collaborators come together across disciplines to put together a project.
About The Gig

We’re all about wearing many hats in a creative environment. You will be able to guide the internship based on your own interests.
