Tom Wood Automotive Group is looking for a Marketing Graphic Design Intern to join our team for Summer 2026. This is a hands‑on opportunity to work inside a fast‑paced, multi‑brand automotive group and gain real‑world experience creating design assets that support sales, service, events, recruiting, and brand marketing efforts.

If you enjoy building clean, thoughtful creative and want exposure to real campaigns across multiple brands, this role will give you that opportunity.

You’ll support the marketing team by creating visual content across digital and print platforms for multiple dealerships within the Tom Wood Automotive Group. Your work will include:

• Designing social media graphics, website banners, email graphics, and event materials
• Creating promotional assets for sales and service campaigns, holiday messaging, and dealership events
• Supporting recruiting and internal marketing initiatives
• Resizing and formatting creative for different platforms and placements
• Organizing and maintaining design files and shared asset libraries
• Preparing final files for digital and print use

You’ll collaborate closely with our Marketing Strategist, Website Specialist, and Content Creators to ensure your designs align with campaign goals and dealership priorities. You’ll also have the opportunity to sit in on planning meetings and see how creative supports broader marketing strategy.

Projects may also include light photo editing, basic motion graphics, video thumbnails, and presentation design depending on your skillset and interests.

• Delivering high‑quality, on‑brand creative that meets deadlines
• Providing correctly sized and exported files for each platform
• Responding to feedback professionally and making timely revisions
• Maintaining organized working files in shared drives
• Contributing to a consistent visual identity across multiple dealerships

• Currently pursuing a degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication Design, Interactive Media Design, User Interface Design, or a related creative field
• Strong working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, including Illustrator, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Audition; familiarity with Figma is expected
• Solid understanding of typography, layout, composition, and visual hierarchy
• Clear communication skills, both written and verbal
• Comfortable presenting ideas and explaining design decisions to non‑design teammates
• A portfolio that demonstrates creativity, problem‑solving, and process
• Availability to work on‑site during the internship period

• Real‑world marketing and brand experience across multiple dealerships
• Exposure to campaign development and execution
• Professional portfolio pieces built from real projects
• Direct collaboration with an in‑house marketing team

This is a paid internship. College credit can be accommodated if required by your program.
