Mueller Communications is searching for its next rockstar intern. If you’re reading this post, you’ve just uncovered an amazing opportunity to receive a paid internship in our stunning new home inside the Milwaukee Fortress Building. Even better? You won’t spend your days here organizing files or fetching coffee. You’ll gain real-world design experience to help you accelerate to the next phase of your career.

Mueller Communications is a full-service communications and marketing agency located in Milwaukee. We work across the entire communications spectrum, so whether an organization has good news to promote or a challenging situation to manage, our team of experts can develop a solution to meet their needs. We provide a diverse set of services and have an equally diverse client roster of organizations of all sizes, across all industries — all with a shared connection to or love of our community and our state.

With Mueller, you’ll get the opportunity to work with some of the region’s most influential players, from national healthcare organizations and retailers, to beloved cultural institutions and community organizations — and everything in between. Two days are never the same. We take pride in the great work that we do, but we’re even more proud working in this city knowing we’ve made a real impact. We know you will, too.

You might be wondering: How does this internship work in today’s hybrid world of virtual and in-person work? Like any good creative professional, we ask you to be flexible while always doing what’s best for our team and clients. We continue to offer flexibility as a key pillar of our internship program, so we’re looking for a self-starter who isn’t intimidated by making the most of a hybrid virtual/in-person environment.

Creativity

  • Showcase knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite, specifically Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Adobe XD, etc.
  • Display an understanding of design principles such as spatial awareness, designing with proper proportions, adhering to brand standards, successfully selecting and creating balanced color and font palettes, and a commitment to being detail-oriented.
  • Demonstrate competence with production design skills, including accuracy with project edits, consistency with repeating layouts and typefaces, cascading design elements through established creative templates and "cleaning" any outstanding projects that need finalizing.
  • Be curious, grow skills and keep current with design trends by seeking out professional development opportunities

Project Management

  • Deliver high-quality drafts on time and within budget by utilizing available templates as well as internal editing/proofing resources
  • Demonstrate confidence in asking your project team leaders for help prioritizing if you can't meet deadlines

Client Management

  • Prepare for client meetings by determining and executing duties as assigned, which might include research, agenda preparation, taking meeting notes and providing meeting recaps/summaries

Entrepreneurial Mindset

  • Demonstrate familiarity with tools and reports provided and responsibility for monitoring your own workload
  • Be helpful as an "on deck" team member, supporting other members of the design team by stepping in and helping finish other projects, or executing production needs and/or deliveries.

Qualifications that will make you stand out:

  • Current college senior or recent graduate
  • Positive, problem-solving attitude
  • Strong project management skills
  • Prior internship experience a plus

Why you’ll love working here:
