You won’t find any cubicles here. In fact, we don’t have many walls in general. That’s because here at Small Army, we think of ourselves as one big team — office dogs included.
Whether you’re working furiously in a room by yourself, collaborating in a group, or attending one of our many offsite enrichment opportunities, Small Army wants you to leave work every day feeling inspired and empowered. Our work-life balance is off-the-charts incredible, and we have a PowerPoint somewhere to prove it. But you should really just come and see for yourself. (That way you can pet the dogs, too.)

Can you write headlines that stop people in their tracks? Take long format content that’s deathly technical and turn it into human-speak? Come up with big conceptual ideas that make other creatives say, “Dang I wish I’d thought of that!” If so, we’d love to meet you!

You’ll work on a variety of accounts across all mediums, surrounded and supported by finely tuned creative professionals humming along like a cruise ship to Gibraltar.
This internship at this time is virtual. We are looking for full time and part time applicants.
A go-getter attitude, juicy creative chops, and shift-on-the-fly technology (If that makes no sense, it’s because it is really something cars have, but I tossed it in to see if you were paying attention). Also, you must know InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and XD—what’s going on in the ad world right now—maybe After Effects, or what’s currently binge worthy on various streaming platforms.
Juniors, seniors, and recent grads preferred.
To apply, send us some info about you, a link to your portfolio, attach your resume, and we’ll follow up soon after if you’re a good fit.
