About The Company
GSD&M is a creatively driven, full-service agency born and raised in Austin, TX. Our strategy? We’re in the business of growing our clients’ businesses and have helped grow some of the world's most successful brands. We’re a full-service advertising agency, but our work goes beyond just making ads. We are a company that uses the power of purpose to drive success with our clients. We partner with our clients to discover, define and articulate their core purpose beyond making money and translate that vision into the marketplace. The return for us? Our work makes a difference for our people, our clients and our communities.
About the Role
<div class="content-intro"><p>At GSD&amp;M, we’re on a mission to build First &amp; Only brands, meaning the first to do it and the only ones who can. We’re able to do this because we set a high bar for ourselves and our work. We care about what we put out in the world. We’re humans who like other humans. Our ideas make a difference. Shift culture. Create a smile. Inspire change. Initiate belly laughs. Deepen our understanding of the world and ourselves. We grow. We learn. We get better. We do it all over again. Because that’s what it takes to build and be First &amp; Only.</p></div><p><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Job Title:</span></strong><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto">Social Media&nbsp;Intern</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-charstyle="normaltextrun" data-ccp-charstyle-defn="{&quot;ObjectId&quot;:&quot;ac0262f4-8a9e-5820-b908-2d943c5f7113|1&quot;,&quot;ClassId&quot;:1073872969,&quot;Properties&quot;:[201342446,&quot;1&quot;,201342447,&quot;5&quot;,201342448,&quot;1&quot;,201342449,&quot;1&quot;,469777841,&quot;Calibri&quot;,469777842,&quot;&quot;,469777843,&quot;Calibri&quot;,469777844,&quot;Calibri&quot;,201341986,&quot;1&quot;,469769226,&quot;Calibri&quot;,268442635,&quot;24&quot;,469775450,&quot;normaltextrun&quot;,201340122,&quot;1&quot;,134233614,&quot;true&quot;,469778129,&quot;normaltextrun&quot;,335572020,&quot;1&quot;,469778324,&quot;Default Paragraph Font&quot;]}">Position Summary:</span></span></strong><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-charstyle="eop" data-ccp-charstyle-defn="{&quot;ObjectId&quot;:&quot;920dbcde-2834-5e15-a5fa-062170b236ba|1&quot;,&quot;ClassId&quot;:1073872969,&quot;Properties&quot;:[201342446,&quot;1&quot;,201342447,&quot;5&quot;,201342448,&quot;1&quot;,201342449,&quot;1&quot;,469777841,&quot;Calibri&quot;,469777842,&quot;&quot;,469777843,&quot;Calibri&quot;,469777844,&quot;Calibri&quot;,201341986,&quot;1&quot;,469769226,&quot;Calibri&quot;,268442635,&quot;24&quot;,469775450,&quot;eop&quot;,201340122,&quot;1&quot;,134233614,&quot;true&quot;,469778129,&quot;eop&quot;,335572020,&quot;1&quot;,469778324,&quot;Default Paragraph Font&quot;]}"> </span></span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}">&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-charstyle="normaltextrun">This&nbsp;</span><span data-ccp-charstyle="normaltextrun">isn’t</span><span data-ccp-charstyle="normaltextrun">&nbsp;your basic coffee run internship.
