Design Intern

About NewWorld:

NewWorld is an award‑winning next‑generation media company operating at the intersection of culture, storytelling, and impact. Our stories, shows and campaigns meet audiences at the speed of culture, shining a light on the world as it is, while inspiring courage and confidence to change it. Our team combines cultural intelligence, creative storytelling and strategic intervention to build trust, shape narratives, and move people from outrage to optimism – and from optimism to action. We are building the media infrastructure of the next decade — developing hit digital shows, scaling fandoms, and organizing a multiracial working-class generation around belonging, belief, and real-world participation

About the role:

The Design Intern is an early-career designer who contributes directly to the creation of visual work across NewWorld’s shows, campaigns, and media brands.

In this role, you will design social content, visual assets, and early creative explorations that help bring stories and ideas to life across digital platforms. You will collaborate closely with designers, strategists, producers, and show teams to translate concepts into clear, engaging visuals that connect with real audiences.

This is a hands-on creative role where interns are expected to design, experiment, and contribute ideas — not just support production. You will gain experience working inside a fast-moving media studio where strategy, research, and design come together to shape narratives in culture.

The ideal candidate is a curious and visually sharp emerging designer who wants to build real work, develop their creative instincts, and grow inside a collaborative creative team.

This is a remote role based in the US or Canada, though ideal candidates will live in New York, NY or Toronto, ON.
