Creative Content Intern
We’re assembling a small team of social content creators to join Mission Outdoor this summer. Mission is a fast-growing brand built around life on the water—long lake days, good people, and gear that makes it all more fun—and you’ll be right in the middle of it.
If brainstorming creative ideas, getting behind the camera, and shaping short-form videos for Reels, YouTube, and TikTok sounds like your kind of work—and doing it for a brand that already reaches millions and regularly sees content take off excites you—this internship will be a great fit.
What You’re Summer Would Look Like
Each week follows a simple rhythm. One day is focused on brainstorming, pulling inspiration from social, and building out shot ideas with the team. Another day is dedicated to shooting — sometimes out on the lake filming product demos and lifestyle clips, other times creating quick, guerrilla-style content around town. You’ll help set up shots, film, and regularly jump in front of the camera when it makes sense. The next day is spent organizing footage and editing it into social-ready videos. The final day is a flex day that changes week to week: prepping for events, packing for travel shoots, gathering products, or helping with other marketing projects around the office.
You’ll be involved in every step of the process: planning, shooting, editing, organizing, and bringing new ideas to life. It’s a hands-on role with plenty of variety, and you’ll work closely with our small marketing team throughout the summer. If you’re someone who brings energy to what you do, enjoys driving things forward, and can stay flexible as plans shift, you’ll thrive here.
