Applications are invited for the Google Creative Fellowship 2025. This is a 6-month paid opportunity at various locations across the US. The application deadline is March 10, 2025!
The Creative Fellowship offers emerging talent the opportunity to join dedicated creative teams at Google, providing exposure and hands-on experience across various in-house creative departments. This 6-month program is designed to deliver an enriching experience while fostering a dynamic network of creative professionals with fresh perspectives and a strong “maker-first” approach.
The Creative Fellowship experience differs across participants. Each Fellow will be placed on a Google creative team and work on real projects under that team’s guidance. Here are a few projects that past Creative Fellows have worked on, across four teams: Brand Studio, Creative Lab, Google Cloud Brand & Creative, and YouTube Creative Studio.
The program is for emerging creative thinkers (0 – 5 years of creative experience) who have a clear point of view and passion for making things and telling stories. We’re looking for individuals excited to bring their unique voice and craft to Google’s creative teams. Each creative team at Google is looking for something different, so Google encourage creatives to apply with work that best captures their craft.
The 2025 Creative Fellowship will take place in the United States. Fellows must be located and have work authorization in the United States in order to participate.
Below are the open roles for the 2025 Creative Fellowship. We encourage you to read the descriptions and select up to two creative role(s) that feel most applicable to you and your skillset. Roles are subject to change. Please read the requirements below before submitting interest for a role.
Brand Studio is a team of writers, art directors, designers, filmmakers, engineers, producers, and strategists focused on building the Google brand. We produce a range of creative work, including films, ad campaigns, and interactive experiences, that bring Google’s values to life for a global audience.
As a Producer, you are the organizational force behind big brand productions. You are looking to grow your skills into multiple mediums (i.e., social, film, broadcast, interactive, print), and are excited to manage all of the foundational elements necessary to bring world-class creative ideas to life. You will partner with Senior Producers and Creative teams, facilitating the execution of medium-to-large brand-critical projects, with a strong emphasis on social executions. Your work will include developing and managing production schedules and budgets, facilitating pre-production, as well as managing dashboards, statuses, stakeholder feedback, and budgets.

As a “maker-first” social creative/copywriter in Brand Studio, you will concept social campaigns, as well as social extensions to our brand moments. Your natural knack for living “chronically online” informs your ability to identify current trends and conversations and interpret them into resonant communications on behalf of the Google brand. You should either have strong writing skills or a demonstrable ability to scrappily concept and execute compelling, on-brand social content.

Your love for hardware, interfaces, experimental UI, combined with server-side experience with Google Cloud, is a major plus.
