About the role

Hypebeast is seeking a Creative Intern in Shenzhen to support research, AI-enabled workflows, and pitch materials for the Greater China Media & Partnerships team. The role emphasizes rapid, taste-driven output using AI tools, with a focus on brand briefs, competitive analyses, and culture-driven storytelling.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with the Media & Partnerships team to research and build proposal, brand briefs, campaign treatments across the Hypebeast portfolio.
  • Use AI tools (LLMs like ChatGPT / Claude, image and video generation like Gemini and Seedance, research assistants) to accelerate cultural research, competitive intelligence, market sizing, and first-draft copy and decks — then refine for accuracy, taste, and narrative.
  • Build and maintain competitive briefs and trend reports across fashion, streetwear, sneakers, outdoor, golf, motorsport, art and the KOL / influencer economy — with a Greater China lens on Douyin, Xiaohongshu (RED), Weibo, WeChat and Bilibili.
  • Support prompt design, prototyping and workflow for the team's internal AI research workflows and tools.
  • Turn scattered sources and data into decision-ready slides and documents — structured, cited, and easy to act on.
  • Keep projects moving: take notes, track deliverables, and share updates across creative and commercial teams.

Qualifications

  • Currently enrolled in, or a recent graduate of, university (design, communications, marketing, media or related) with a strong art & design related portfolio.
  • Deep, authentic fluency in contemporary culture: fashion, streetwear, sneakers and the adjacent verticals Hypebeast covers (art, design, music, sport, outdoor).
  • Hands-on experience with AI tools — comfortable using LLMs for research and writing, ideally image / video generation, and familiar with prompt engineering basics.
  • Strong written and visual communication; able to turn research into a clear, persuasive narrative.
  • Proficient in Google Slides / Sheets and comfortable in at least one design tool (Figma, Adobe, or Canva).
  • Highly proficient in English; working proficiency in Mandarin and/or Cantonese (reading and writing Chinese is a strong plus for Greater China work).
  • Proactive, organized and detail-oriented — a team player who can also run independently.
  • Familiarity with Chinese digital and social platforms and how the KOL economy works.
  • Light technical ability — basic scripting, working with structured data / APIs, or building with no-code AI tools.
  • Personal projects that show you build with AI: prototypes, generative art, a newsletter, side experiments.
  • A genuine point of view on how AI is changing media, marketing and creative work.
