The Creative Fellowship is a program for emerging creative talent that offers hands-on experience and exposure across Google’s various in-house creative teams.
The creative industry’s long-standing traditions and conventional standards can often create a talent loop that is systematically inaccessible to many new voices and emerging talent. In particular, for creatives from non-traditional backgrounds, it can feel disproportionately difficult to gain access to the support they need to thrive in this industry. That is why they are looking outside typical networks to find exceptional talent to join Google.
The Creative Fellowship places emerging talent on dedicated teams, gaining exposure and hands-on experience across Google’s various in-house creative departments. In tandem, participants are also invited to inspiring talks to enrich their experience. This program ushers in a new, diverse network of creative talent and benefits the industry at large by bringing in fresh, innovative perspectives.
Projects
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, Events & Experiences, and YouTube Creative Studio. The 2024 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.
Eligibility
Open to emerging creative thinkers (0 – 5 years of creative experience) who have a clear point of view and passion for making things and telling stories.
They are 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 they encourage creatives to apply with work that best captures their craft.
Benefits
Fellows will be paid. Pay is determined by location and will be shared during the interview process.
Application
The program will run from June 2024 to December 2024. Submissions of interest are due by April 5, 2024 at 5pm (PST). They will inform shortlisted candidates of their advancement by early May, and a 3rd party employment agency will contact finalist candidates for next steps in early May.
