FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

  • We develop and build purpose-driven and issue-focused brands and campaigns for our clients to bring attention to or solve challenges that may be facing.

  • At Soze, we uplift the stories and experiences of those with proximity to the work we do. We translate these stories into creative outputs by ensuring that the communities our work is benefitting are heard, seen, or felt through our campaigns and the brands we build in partnership with our clients. By telling these stories in our work, we are able to foster compassion and spark conversations among our audiences, which can result in a shift in culture.

  • Interns will gain comprehensive and tactical skills and knowledge through hands-on experience (such as participating in IRL events, campaign ideation, building out strategy, creative design, etc.) and client work. There will be mentorship guided by 1:1s, working sessions internally and with partner organizations, cultural events that are open to attendance, networking opportunities and much more!

  • Our former interns have had opportunities to join Soze in full-time roles and also have pursued incredible career and creative experiences after leaving the agency. They’ve become or built upon their careers as artists, creators, designers and strategists. Please check out the testimonies above to learn more about them!

  • This is dependent on respective departments, projects that each intern is working on with their teams, and the working relationship with managers. Most team members will have a mix of internal touch bases, client calls and “focus time” on their calendars each day. Interns are also encouraged to seize opportunities to listen in and “shadow” their managers. We welcome interns to ask to participate on projects according to their interests.

  • Yes, we do! At Soze, one of our guiding beliefs is that our team members should feel a sense of ownership of their work and that our interns should have hands-on experience. The goal of our internship project is to foster an understanding of how research may be implemented into our work, communicate the importance of various topics with eloquence and expertise, and to grow both skills and knowledge for future applications. Each semester, the internship project itself will change, but at its core, it serves to give the interns creative freedom and to hone in on their respective skills and interests.

    The internship committee will provide a framework, various topics to choose from that align with your interest and skill set, 1:1 and feedback sessions, and a timeline with key dates and milestones.

  • This will be determined when we begin accepting applications.

  • You can reach out to our Internship team (internship@wearesoze.com)

  • We are one of around 400 workers-owned cooperatives in the U.S. That means that we do not have any investors or holding companies, rather, our employees are the decision makers and owners of the agency.
