(Chicago, IL)
Facebook's mission is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together. Through our family of apps and services, we're building a different kind of company that connects billions of people around the world, gives them ways to share what matters most to them, and helps bring people closer together. Whether we're creating new products or helping a small business expand its reach, people at Facebook are builders at heart. Our global teams are constantly iterating, solving problems, and working together to empower people around the world to build community and connect in meaningful ways. Together, we can help people build stronger communities — we're just getting started.
At Creative Shop, we unreservedly believe that creativity is what drives innovation in every aspect of the modern world, disrupts industries, improves the status quo, and helps brands tell the stories of tomorrow to the right people at the right time.
We are a motley crew of adventurers, dreamers, idealists, entrepreneurs, misfits, designers, writers, inventors, data hackers and artists who are hungry for crafting new ideas. A crew whose mission is to inspire, provoke and serve the very industry that enables brands to connect to the people they care about while growing their business.
We are looking for two interns to join this crew, one as a Creative Strategist Intern and one as a Design Intern. Together, you'll work to disrupt our status quo and hack alongside the Creative Shop Team.
You belong in our crew:
If you believe data, tech and product innovation is fundamental in the creative process.
If constant change doesn’t bother you but excites you.
If you aren’t afraid to put your hand up for the seemingly impossible assignments.
If you love thinking and building prototypes and frameworks to lead the industry to better work for our platforms.
If you want to be part of a team that is leading the way in telling stories for the future.
If you're entrepreneurial: We’re still only 1% done at Facebook – this team is inventing new things everyday. It takes vision, tenacity, bravery and ability to execute to thrive here.
You’ll be an essential team member tasked with inspiring and influencing how advertisers build strategies, concept ideas and execute campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and the next set of Facebook ad platforms. You will use your skills to show how the insights and targeting capabilities of FB platforms (FB, Instagram, Messenger) can help build mobile campaigns that jump out of News Feeds and feel designed for exactly the people who will really care.
