Copy Intern
goodr · Los Angeles · $20/hr (stated in the posting)
ABOUT GOODR
We create and sell active eyewear for anyone. No Slip. No Bounce. All Polarized. All Fun. Interested in joining our team? Keep reading.
OUR VALUES: We have two core values: Fun & Authenticity.
- FUN = Being sh*tty isn’t fun. Agreed? Taking pride in your work, finding joy in being GREAT, and celebrating wins… and losses. Now, that’s fun!
- AUTHENTICITY = Focusing on being authentic over being liked. (Next-level guru stuff. Count it.)
Fun Fact: We do not allow email to be sent internally. Carrier pigeons only. JK, we use Slack.
SUSTAINABILITY: We think Earth’s pretty rad. That’s why we take action wherever possible to limit our impact on the planet.
- 1% FOR THE PLANET MEMBER: 1% of goodr’s annual sales go directly to environmental organizations.
- CARBON NEUTRAL: In 2019, goodr became a 100% carbon neutral company.
Fun Fact: goodr celebrates every Earth Day by releasing limited-edition sunglasses with frames made from 100% recycled materials—and the packaging is 100% sustainable, too!
ABOUT THE ROLE
Ever wonder how a pair of sunglasses gets made… or how a wild idea like pink furry frames becomes actual reality? Maybe you’re curious how in the world a company lets a flamingo named Carl run the place. Well, look no further! goodr is calling all flaminglets — yes, that’s a baby flamingo — for our 2027 Spring Internship Program!
At goodr, we show up unabashedly ourselves, own our sh**t, and get things done. And we want our interns to do the same. Join us for a 9-week adventure from January 19th, 2027 – March 19th, 2027. Did someone say bragging rights? OH YES WE DID. This full-time (or part-time if schedule requires), paid internship gives you real-world experience, flamingo-level fun, and skills you can take into any future career.
Love writing? Love making people laugh? Ever wondered how a ridiculous sunglasses name, a clever ad, or a perfectly timed email comes to life? As our Copy Intern, you'll get a behind-the-scenes look at how goodr's Copy Team brings our fun and authentic brand voice to life. You'll brainstorm ideas, write copy for real marketing projects, and learn how creative concepts turn into campaigns. From product names to emails to social media, you'll get hands-on experience writing words that make people smile (and buy sunglasses).
