Do you know what’s about to blow up on TikTok before it hits your FYP? Can you spot the next big thing brewing in niche Reddit communities or emerging from underground creator collectives?
If you live for that moment when you catch a cultural shift before anyone else does, we want you on our team. As a Creative Strategy Intern at Smartly, you’ll be our eyes and ears in the cultural zeitgeist—hunting down pre-trends, decoding what Gen Z is really talking about, and turning those insights into strategic gold for Fortune 500 brands and their creative and social strategies.
This isn’t about following trends. This is about predicting them, understanding them, and helping our team build creative offerings, packages, and narratives around them. Join our team of 800+ Smartlies and turn your cultural obsession into real business impact.
As a Creative Strategy Intern at Smartly, you’ll collaborate closely with our Creative Technologists and Global Creative Services team. Your mission? To turn trend-forward insights into strategic narratives for some of the biggest advertisers globally—keeping them ahead of the cultural curve across social media platforms. You’ll dive deep into social trends and create compelling presentations to help brands predict and capitalize on what’s next.
This internship is paid at $20 per hour and will be approximately 30 hours per week between June 2nd and August 7th of 2026.
