BRAND BUILDERS LAB: DESIGNER / ART DIRECTOR

Jumpstart your advertising career with the Motive BRAND BUILDERS LAB! 

This is more than an internship—it's a fast-paced, full-time, train-to-hire experience where you’ll dive headfirst into the exciting world of advertising and marketing. Over the course of the program, you’ll gain hands-on, mentored experience, all while contributing to real client work. Midway through, you’ll team up with other Brand Builder Interns to tackle an actual innovation brief—brainstorming big ideas, shaping strategy, building a killer deck, and presenting your solution to industry pros. 

Builders will be embedded within one of five departments— Creative, Digital Innovation, Content, Brand Experience or Strategy—while also engaging in cross-functional learning, mentorship, and agency-wide collaboration. This is your chance to pitch ideas, join brainstorms, shadow leaders, and contribute to the work we put out into the world. 

With dedicated training, daily support, and the chance for full-time employment at the finish line, this is your launchpad into the agency world. Let’s build your brand—and ours—together.
