About our Program: 

As a Design Intern, you will be paired with world-class creatives who become mentors, collaborators, and champions for your growth. You’ll be immersed in the design process from day one, developing your craft and creativity while helping build the next generation of iconic brands. Over the course of the internship, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact—on your team, the work, and your future career. 

What We’re Looking for: 

We’re looking for curious, detail-oriented, collaborative students who are passionate about branding and visual storytelling. As a Design Intern, you’ll be fully integrated into our team—contributing to real client work, from concept to delivery, across a range of brand design projects. You’ll work side by side with strategists, motion designers, and creative leads to help bring bold ideas to life. Your mentor and design team will guide you in sharpening your technical skills, creative thinking, and visual communication. 

We are looking for students pursuing a degree in Graphic Design, Communication Design, Visual Arts, or a related discipline (grad students are also welcome to apply). These paid internships last approximately three to four months, depending on the time of year and your academic schedule. Please note that interns must be based near our Cincinnati studio for a hybrid working schedule (at least 3-4 days in office). 

Candidates must have completed a minimum of 3 semesters or equivalent in their program. A strong portfolio showcasing branding, typography, layout, and conceptual thinking is required. Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (especially Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop) is expected; motion or 3D experience is a plus. 

We’re looking for students with excellent communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and a genuine eagerness to learn. The best candidates will be passionate about Landor’s work, aware of current design trends, and excited to bring fresh ideas and creative energy to the table. 

We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office around four days a week. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.

We build brands. We build futures. Landor, a WPP company, is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all applicants without discrimination or regard to particular characteristics, committed to a culture of respect where everyone belongs and can progress in their careers.
