How to Apply:

At See.Spark.Go, we interact daily with clients, influencers, audiences, reporters and team members via email, video calls, press releases, pitches, reels and social media. Communication is the heartbeat of our industry; therefore, for the first round of our application, we ask our applicants to display their creative communication skills by submitting a personal “Pitch.”
For this pitch, we’d like for you to tell us why you would be a great fit for our team. How do you stand apart from the other applicants? Picture the SSG team as the editors and yourself as the publicist, or maybe you’re a style icon, musician or speaker trying to get noticed by a dream brand.

If you haven’t noticed, we love a good outside-the-box thinker, so feel free to get our attention however best fits your style. Your pitch could be in the form of a video, a reel, a slide show, a podcast episode, a press release, a social media account, or an info-graphic. With so many platforms and tools at your fingertips, we look forward to seeing how you get creative. Use this opportunity to showcase what makes you the best of the best of the best!

A few notes:

• We do not accept “prior work samples” as your pitch. There will be an opportunity in a later round to showcase your work.
• We expect your pitch to be personalized to the See.Spark.Go internship program.
