Criquet Shirts is looking for a Content Intern who will use their artistic as well as technical
skills to work with our Design Director and marketing team to create content and imagery that
convey our brand personality for use online and in promotional materials. To be considered
for this position, you must have a portfolio of work (can be on a website or just instagram
feed) to submit along with your application.
We are a menswear company looking for a motivated individual to take awesome photos and
video to be used for compelling branding materials (content). He/she should be highly creative
with an eye for detail and an interest in brand building, graphic design and photography. We
employ a fun-loving brand philosophy and we want that to show in our online presence (read:
cool/happy models doing cool/happy things).
In a world of Southern Prep and East Coast Classic, Criquet has an easygoing, fun-loving Austin
spirit all of its own. Guided by memories of collared shirts from early days in prep school, and by
well-worn hand-me-downs from dads, uncles and others, we created what Details Magazine
dubbed “The Perfect Polo”. Our line has since expand to include button downs, sweaters, and
knit shirts all developed with the same mindset of creating classically-inspired clothing that
embodies effortless style.
With an e-commerce driven retail model, we pride ourselves on the quality of our product and
customer service, and have extensive growth planned for the coming years. From the
Clubhouse in Austin, we continue the quest to build a brand that will keep our customers
looking sharp and ready to relax at the clink of a glass.
The Content Intern will work directly with Co-Founder/ Head Marketing Pro, Hobson Brown, and
Kelley Wollmam, Criquet’s Art Director / Graphic Designer. As an intern at a small company, you
will also gain valuable experience working cross-functionally with Marketing and Product Design.
This is a paid internship position.
