When I was in elementary school, we had the upper playground and the lower playground. We usually ended up playing on the upper playground, but I think that I remember that the lower playground was a lot more fun, even if it was intended for the younger kids at the school. I guess that doesn’t bode well for today’s company, since in my book Upper Playground is inferior, but we’ll give them a shot anyway. If you’re like me, and had never heard of Upper Playground until today, here’s what you need to know. Upper Playground is a “premier independent clothing brand. They have stores across the country (ok, across the West Coast and in NYC). They also have an online store. I really have no idea how to describe their style, so you’ll have to check it out for yourself.
Upper Playground is currently looking for interns in the San Francisco area (that’s where they’re headquartered) to help in three key business areas: graphic design, marketing and public relations, and general administration. If you’re interested in the design internships, you better have Photoshop/Illustrator skills, and if you want to intern with them in marketing/PR, you better know your way around social media. Speaking of social media, Upper Playground is already pretty active in that area – they have a blog, Twitter account, and YouTube channel. That means that it should be pretty easy for you to do some due diligence and research them. One think that they sorely need is an About page. When you land upon their web site, it’s not very easy to get a sense of what they’re all about. If you’re familiar with Upper Playground or just like what you see and want to apply for an internship, you can do so by sending a cover letter and resume to upperplaygroundinterns@gmail.com before November 7th.
