If you want real‑world creative experience right now, Media24 is offering two 12‑month internships in its Cape Town Co.Lab content‑marketing team. Apply before 9 September 2026. Learn more about the opportunity at Media24.
What the internships involve
Media24 needs a videographer intern and a graphic‑design intern. Both roles will work on real projects for well‑known e‑commerce, technology and consumer brands. You will not be tied to a single client – you’ll create videos, graphics, social posts, newsletters, digital ads and even print pieces across many industries.
Who can apply
These internships are for students or recent graduates who are based in Cape Town. You must be able to work from the Media24 office and live in the city. The company has not published a salary or stipend, so be ready to ask about remuneration during the interview.
Videographer internship
- Study for or have completed a qualification in videography, media or a related field.
- Basic knowledge of camera work and video‑editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro).
- Good written and verbal communication.
- Interest in technology, digital media and content marketing.
- Ability to handle several tasks and accept feedback.
Graphic‑design internship
- Study for or have completed a qualification in graphic design, visual communication, multimedia, digital design, advertising or a similar field.
- Basic skills in Adobe Creative Cloud – Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
- Understanding of layout, typography, colour and visual hierarchy.
- Strong communication and basic Microsoft Office skills.
- A portfolio that shows your creativity and technical ability (student work, personal projects or freelance pieces are fine).
What you will gain
Both positions give you hands‑on experience, not just observation. You will:
- Work on live briefs from real clients.
- Develop ideas, produce final assets and meet deadlines.
- Collaborate with videographers, editors, designers, art directors, writers, strategists and client‑facing teams.
- Learn professional production workflows and, for the videographer, explore AI‑assisted video tools.
- Build a stronger portfolio that shows a range of industries and formats.
Media24 does not promise a permanent job after the internship, but the mentorship and portfolio boost can improve your future prospects.
How to apply – step by step
- Prepare an up‑to‑date CV that highlights your creative qualification, software knowledge and key projects.
- Assemble the required portfolio: a design portfolio for the graphic‑design role or a short showreel (1‑2 minutes) for the videographer role.
- Make sure any links work, open without passwords and lead directly to your work.
- Submit the correct documents through the official portal for the role you want:
- Videographer: Media24 Videographer Internship application
- Graphic design: Media24 Graphic Design Internship application
- Confirm your availability to work from the Cape Town office and, if relevant, travel for location shoots.
- Send a polite email or message asking for clarification on the stipend, if needed, before the interview.
Tips to improve your chances
- Tailor your CV and portfolio to the specific role – show relevant video or design work first.
- Use a professional email address and a working phone number.
- Proofread for spelling and formatting errors.
- Explain your personal contribution to any group projects.
- Mention any experience with AI‑assisted tools or emerging software.
- Show openness to feedback and teamwork.
- If you belong to a designated group, highlight this – Media24 follows an employment‑equity policy.
Final thoughts and next steps
These internships are a solid entry point into content marketing. The videographer role suits those who love cameras, storytelling and editing. The graphic‑design role is ideal for creatives who enjoy visual communication across digital and print.
Both require you to live in Cape Town, work from the Media24 office and accept that the stipend has not been disclosed.
Make sure your portfolio is ready, double‑check the links, and submit your application before 9 September 2026. Good luck!
