Branded Fashion Intern

BDG is seeking a Branded Fashion Intern to assist a team of editors on the BDG Studios team. BDG Studios is a full-service creative agency that leverages the BDG editorial vision, audience, and scale to create 360-degree content programs for brand partners. 
As an intern, you'll get a peek at the ins and outs of branded content in the areas of fashion, retail, luxury, and lifestyle. You should be ready to help with a wide variety of tasks, whether you're coming up with article ideas, sourcing TikTok talent for a client pitch, or assisting an editor in building a sponsored article. You should have an interest in social media and be ready to lend your opinion on what’s currently trending across platforms. 
In your cover letter, please tell us about a recent piece of branded content you’ve seen and liked, and why it resonated with you. (Ex: Do you love the imagery? The tone of voice? What makes it unique? Why does it work for its environment, whether you saw it on Instagram, TikTok, or on an O&O website?)
BDG’s 2023 Internship Program is an exciting opportunity to get hands-on experience at one of the fastest growing digital media companies today. Our immersive program gives each intern the chance to explore and develop their interests through executive mentorship, career training, professional development seminars and workshops, collaborative projects, off-site events and more.

Candidates should be available to work up to 28 hours per week, and will be given the choice to work either remotely or from BDG’s New York City HQ office near Madison Square Park, depending on your role
