Fall/Winter Graphic Design Intern

Mississippi Mud Monsters | Trustmark Park | Pearl, Mississippi

About The Mississippi Mud Monsters

The Mississippi Mud Monsters are a professional baseball team in Pearl, Mississippi. While baseball is at the heart of what we do, our work doesn't stop when the season ends.

Throughout the fall and winter, Trustmark Park stays busy with special events, community activities, offseason projects, and Southern Lights, our annual holiday lights experience.

We believe everything we do should look, feel, and sound fun. From social media and advertising to event signage and what guests experience throughout the ballpark, visuals play a huge role in how people connect with our organization.

This role sits at the intersection of creativity, marketing, and event production.

Who We're Looking For

We are looking for a creative, motivated student who wants real-world experience inside the day-to-day operation of a professional baseball team during the offseason.

As our Fall/Winter Graphic Design Intern, you will help bring our events, marketing campaigns, and future baseball season to life visually.

You'll create graphics that people actually see, support Southern Lights and other special events, and help us prepare for the upcoming baseball season.

This is a seasonal internship covering the fall and winter months. Preference will be given to candidates available for the full duration of the internship.

What You'll Do

• Design graphic projects for social media, website, email, advertising, signage, and promotional campaigns.
