Digital Creative Designer Internship

We hate social media. We love studying people.

Trigger isn’t a scheduler and it doesn’t generate content. The world has enough of those. Trigger is a computational creativity layer.

We study context and human behavior to explain why content works, predict how it will perform, and recommend what to publish next improving social performance by understanding people, not by posting more.

Trigger is backed by Builders (AI-native venture studio) and is currently in open beta

About Trigger

Creativity today is evaluated through vibes, intuition, and vanity metrics. We believe it can be understood, modeled, and improved.

Trigger ingests multimodal creative assets (video, image, text) and performance signals, then uses contextual analytics and behavioral frameworks to:

• decode and cluster content

• label creative patterns

• explain performance outcomes

• support better creative decisions

Our behavioral framework is built on 10+ years of content analysis, used to help multiple companies grow from 0 to 1M+ followers, and is currently validated with social-first companies averaging 500k+ followers.

There is already strong demand (1,000+ companies on the waiting list).

The role

We’re looking for a Digital Creative Design Intern to help us share to the world how we fascinating human behavior is.

You’ll work directly with the Brand team and define visual directions (both static and dynamic), experimenting with formats, and building a distinct aesthetic around the brand.

This is NOT a corporate design internship:

we are not looking for ultra polished agency-style productions, overdesigned carousels, or “perfect” content. We care much more about grainy dreamlike atmosphere, identity, experimentation, and human feeling.

You’ll work closely with the founding team and be involved in real creative decisions, real publishing, and real feedback loops. You won’t just assist, you’ll ship.

What you'll do

• Create visual content for Trigger’s media channels

• Help shape Trigger’s visual language and brand identity

• Design carousels, visuals, motion assets, and short-form videos

• Work on video editing, storytelling, and creative direction

• Experiment with new content formats and aesthetics

• Contribute to brand guidelines and visual systems

• Translate ideas, frameworks, and concepts into visual narratives

• Learn how creative decisions influence audience behavior and resonance

This is a learning role, but the output is real and public.

What we're looking for

• You actively experiment with content, videos, graphics, edits, photography, or experimental visuals

• You enjoy making things feel human, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant

• You enjoy meditative, dreamlike poetic art that emphasizes slow pacing, extremely long takes, and profound philosophical or existential themes

• You’re eager to learn fast and take feedback seriously

• You can start working with us tomorrow

• Cognitive Psychology and Philosophy background/interest is a strong plus

You do not need years of experience.

We care more about taste, curiosity, visual sensitivity, and creative instinct than polished portfolios.

Internship conditions

• Duration: minimum 6 months

• Commitment: full-time only (not suited if you’re still studying)

• Monthly Compensation: 400€ to 800€

• Travel allowance: 250€

• Location: Rotterdam, 2 min walk from Central Station.

Growth path

We want to promote you asap. This is an early startup role. As Trigger grows, this role can evolve into Creative Designer, Brand Designer, Art Director, Content Creative, or other creative leadership paths depending on where your strengths compound.

We don’t care much about titles.

We care about people who make things that feel alive.

Application

To apply, send us:

• 3 pieces of work/content/designs/videos you’re genuinely proud of

• A short explanation of why you made them or why they matter to you

We care less about performance metrics and more about creative thinking, intention, and taste.

Hiring process, simple and human

1. Intro & motivation chat

2. Design assessment

3. Creative fit & growth conversation

If there’s a fit, you’ll join us and start building.

We don’t do “shadowing”.

We make things.
