2026 Summer Internships:
Signal Theory has summer internship opportunities for outstanding individuals who are ready to experience life in advertising at one of the leading brand development, marketing and design firms.

Copywriting Internship
Our job at Signal Theory is to help people and brands connect in more meaningful ways through strategically sound creative solutions. To watch and learn how we do this, you’ll work with an integrated team of copywriters, art directors, strategists, experience designers, content producers, account leaders, analysts and developers to shape the bigger brand picture for some of our clients.
At Signal Theory, a copywriter intern is paired with a seasoned copywriter and assigned to one of our focus area teams. They will work most closely alongside that copywriter as well as other creatives (copywriters and art directors) on the team. There will be real work to be done for several of our clients. And the team will look for additional opportunities to provide as broad of an experience as possible.
