ABOUT MORNING WALK
We build Performance Branding Ecosystems that turn brand creativity into measurable business outcomes — work designed to create both emotional impact and real-world results. Our clients include household names like Rivian, OtterBox, and Conagra.
We're Midwest-rooted and nationally recognized — a lean, senior-led team that moves fast, thinks big, and doesn't believe in busywork.
THE ROLE
Morning Walk is looking for a curious, creative thinker to join our team for the summer.
This role sits at the intersection of social content, copywriting, research, and creative strategy — and it's designed for someone who thinks carefully about how brands communicate and genuinely wants to learn what it takes to do it well.
You'll work directly with senior creatives, contributing to real client projects from early concepting through execution. You'll be expected to bring a point of view, ask good questions, and take initiative — not observe from the sidelines.
What You'll Do
- Support concepting, copywriting, and content development across social, digital, and campaign work
- Write platform-native copy for a range of brands, tones, and formats
- Research audiences, cultural trends, competitors, creators, and emerging platforms
- Contribute ideas during brainstorms and creative reviews
- Help build decks, presentations, and internal creative materials
- Track and surface cultural signals, memes, formats, and content behaviors — including how AI tools and the creator economy are reshaping how brands communicate
- Collaborate closely with writers, designers, strategists, and account teams
- Move quickly between thinking and doing — turning ideas into tangible outputs
- Experiment with and apply AI tools to support ideation, copywriting, research, and content development
What You'll Bring
- Strong writing ability with instinct for tone, voice, and clarity
- Real awareness of social platforms, creator culture, and internet behavior
- Curiosity about how ideas spread — and why some stick while others don't
- Ability to spot patterns in culture beyond surface-level trends
- A point of view on brands, storytelling, and modern communication
- Comfort working independently without waiting for step-by-step direction
- Strong attention to detail and a willingness to revise and refine your work
- Genuine interest in learning how creative strategy and execution connect
- Comfort experimenting with AI tools as part of the creative process — curiosity about where the technology is headed and how it changes the work
Bonus: You've made things yourself — content, writing, social pages, student work, freelance projects, or anything that shows initiative and creative output.
WHY MORNING WALK?
Morning Walk is the antidote to fractured marketing. We don't make you choose between brand creativity and hard performance — we build both. Here, you'll work directly alongside senior creatives on household-name brands, inside a lean, fast-moving team that doesn't believe in busywork or bureaucracy.
- Midwest Roots, National Impact — A collaborative, down-to-earth culture based in Chicago and Milwaukee, doing work that competes at the highest level.
- The Creator Frontier — You'll build modern campaigns that natively integrate the creator economy and AI — not as buzzwords, but as real tools in the work.
- Heavyweight Clients — You get to impact household names like Rivian and OtterBox alongside a team that cares about quality as much as results.
- Kill the Silos — You'll never be boxed into just "creative" or just "analytics." You'll see and contribute to the full system.
- Senior-Led, Nimble Culture — Work directly alongside industry veterans without bureaucratic red tape.
- Real Work, Real Impact — Your ideas can show up in actual campaigns. You'll leave with more than a line on your résumé — you'll have work in the world.0
