Job description

At Idea Peddler, we see interns as the next wave of creative thinkers, and investing in them is an investment in the future of our industry. We give interns real-world experience, helping them grow through hands-on projects, mentorship, and collaboration. Their fresh ideas and perspectives challenge us to think differently, and in return, we offer the opportunity to build skills, confidence, and a network through hands-on client experience. We're not just teaching, we're shaping the future of creativity together.
Our Fall 2026 Internship Program will run from September 1st thru December 18th and is 20 hours per week. The agency is remote on Monday and Fridays and in-office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays and we'll need you in the office at least 80% of the time (16 hrs).
This isn't a traditional internship or support role. You'll be embedded in the operational engine of the agency, helping keep projects moving, productions organized, and teams aligned across Creative, Media, Account, and Production.
You'll play a hands-on role in making sure work gets done efficiently and thoughtfully. If you're someone who naturally spots gaps, keeps things organized, and communicates proactively, you'll do well here.
What You'll Do
Project & Operational Support
  • Track active projects, timelines, and deliverables across multiple clients in ClickUp
  • Monitor task progress and flag risks or bottlenecks early
  • Support day-to-day office operations, keeping systems, files, and communications organized
  • Assist with internal meeting prep, including agendas, notes, and action tracking
  • Coordinate with vendors on documentation, invoices, and logistics
  • Help troubleshoot workflow issues and keep projects moving

Production Coordination
  • Support production workflows, including asset tracking and post-production coordination
  • Maintain production documentation and shared drive organization

Budget Tracking & Reporting
  • Assist with tracking project budgets, logging actuals, and flagging potential overages
  • Support time tracking accuracy across teams
  • Help pull utilization reports and support internal reporting
  • Contribute to project status updates and progress reporting

Process & Systems
  • Maintain and follow standardized workflows and SOPs
  • Support process improvements and system updates
  • Keep templates, trackers, and systems organized and up to date

Cross-Team Collaboration
  • Partner with Creative, Media, Account, and Production teams to gather updates and ensure alignment
  • Act as a reliable connector between internal teams and external production partners

What We're Looking For
Must-Haves
  • Highly organized with strong attention to detail
  • Proactive communicator who doesn't wait to be asked for updates
  • Comfortable managing multiple priorities and deadlines
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Confident using spreadsheets, project management tools, and shared systems
  • Solutions-oriented mindset - you identify problems and bring ideas forward

Tools & Technology
  • Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Drive, Calendar)
  • Familiarity with ClickUp, Asana, Monday, or similar tools
  • Comfortable using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to support organization and workflows
  • Working knowledge of spreadsheets (building trackers, not just updating them)

Nice to Have
  • Exposure to video production workflows (call sheets, shot lists, on-set logistics)
  • Background in communications, advertising, marketing, or related field
  • Experience in an agency, production company, or fast-paced environment

What You'll Learn
  • How agency projects move from idea to execution
  • Real-world production and operational workflows
  • How budget tracking and utilization impact agency performance
  • How strong operations support great creative work
  • Cross-team communication in a fast-paced environment
  • What Success Looks Like
  • Projects stay on track with fewer last-minute scrambles
  • Budgets and timelines are accurate, visible, and proactively managed
  • Teams rely on you to keep things organized and moving forward
  • You move easily between systems, people, and priorities
