“Why do you write like it’s going out of style?”

Deksia is looking for a talented wordsmith that is young, scrappy and hungry for a career that allows them to fight not AND write. If this sounds like you, read on. Do not throw away your shot!

Copywriters are vital members of the creative team. They work in tandem with the strategy team to provide consistent voice and messaging to be used across all platforms. These words can then be used to tell a brand’s story via brochure, paid Facebook ad campaign, or even their website.

In addition to creative and/or technical writing, interns will also have opportunities to hone in on their proofreading and editing skills. This internship is tailored to fit the individual’s interests, so responsibilities will vary from candidate to candidate.

This internship is ideal for those interested in pursuing careers such as:

  • Content Writer
  • Creative Copywriter
  • Technical Writer
  • Editor
  • Brand Journalist
  • Ghostwriter
  • Communication Specialist
  • Advertising Manager
  • Public Relations
