About the Job: Brand & Creative Intern at Jingo

Are you a visionary creative with a passion for shaping brands from the ground up? Jingo is seeking a highly motivated and taste-driven Brand & Creative Intern to help define our visual and cultural identity as we expand.

Who We Are: Meet Jingo

Jingo (www.jingo.app) is building a new kind of shopping platform – one that is emotionally intelligent, beautifully designed, and purpose-built for the next generation of shoppers. We’re innovating the e-commerce experience to be more intuitive, engaging, and culturally relevant.

We are a San Francisco–based, VC-funded startup, backed by an impressive roster of leaders from companies like Walmart, Amazon, Pinterest, Nike, and Lululemon. Jingo is currently live in an invite-only pilot program at USC and is set for campus-by-campus expansion this spring, bringing our unique platform to a growing community.

The Ask: Shape the Brand of Tomorrow

We’re looking for someone unusually thoughtful, taste-driven, and creatively obsessive to join our team part-time as our Brand & Creative Intern. This is far from a traditional internship; you will be instrumental in defining how Jingo looks, feels, and spreads across campuses and eventually the world. Your work will have a tangible impact on our brand’s early cultural footprint and aesthetic direction.

What You’ll Do: Key Responsibilities

• Content Creation: Create engaging content and assets tailored for campus and creator launches, helping to build excitement and community.
• Brand Execution Support: Assist in the consistent execution of brand guidelines across various platforms, including identity elements, social media campaigns, web assets, and merchandise.
• Brand System Building: Contribute to developing lightweight brand systems, such as templates, visual language guides, and tone-of-voice documentation, ensuring scalability and consistency.
• Cultural Immersion: Play a crucial role in making Jingo feel genuinely culturally native and authentic, deliberately avoiding generic “startup marketing” clichés.
• Real Impact: See your creative work launched live and experienced by users, not just conceptualized or stuck in Figma.

Who You Are: Desired Skills & Attributes

• Exceptional Taste: Possess strong aesthetic taste and a clear point of view on design and branding.
• Cultural Obsession: Deeply obsessed with great brands, cutting-edge design, current fashion trends, and the ever-evolving internet culture.
• Agile & Detail-Oriented: Fast-paced, highly detail-oriented, and genuinely excited by iterative creative processes.
• Creative Tool Proficiency: Comfortable and proficient in using creative software like Figma, Jitter, Adobe Creative Suite (e.g., Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects), or similar tools.
• Motion & Video Skills: Must have strong motion graphics and video editing skills.
• Collaborative Spirit: Kind, funny, and easy to work with, fostering a positive and productive team environment.

Nice to Have: Bonus Qualifications

• Copywriting Instincts: A natural flair for crafting engaging and on-brand written content.
• “Pinterest-core” Brain: An intuitive understanding of visual curation, mood boards, and aesthetic trends prevalent on platforms like Pinterest.
• Creative Edge: A slightly unfair creative advantage – unique talents or perspectives that make your work truly stand out.

Interview Process

Shortlisted candidates will receive a small, paid creative prompt to showcase their skills and approach. Successful completion of this prompt will lead to final conversations with the Jingo team.
