Social Media and Marketing Intern

Marketing Intern (Make This Role Your Own)

Location: Northern Virginia
Schedule: Part-Time (10–20 hours/week)
Compensation: Paid (Hourly)
Flexible around class schedules

This Isn’t a “Get Coffee” Internship.

We’re a fast-growing, locally owned service business looking for a Marketing Intern who wants real experience — not busywork.

If you’ve got ideas, energy, and the confidence to try things (and occasionally fail while learning), this role can become as big as you make it.

You won’t be running ads or managing SEO.
You will be on the ground capturing the real story of a growing company in action.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing

Community & Event Marketing

Attend local events, sponsorships, and community activities

Represent the brand professionally in public settings

Make sure we show up consistently and visibly in the community

📸 Content Capture

Capture photos and short videos of:

Technicians in the field

Community events

Branded trucks and equipment

Behind-the-scenes moments

Help organize and upload media so it’s usable and searchable

Make sure we’re documenting our growth — not guessing about it later

Content Support

Contribute ideas for:

Social media content

Website galleries

Internal culture content

Coordinate with our team to ensure events are documented consistently

Note: This role does NOT include managing ads, analytics, SEO, or strategy. This is hands-on field marketing and brand documentation. BUT… we are open to your ideas!

Administrative Support

Help coordinate schedules and event logistics

Assist with internal communications

Support both marketing and operations teams when needed

We’re a growing business — which means sometimes you jump in and help where needed. That’s part of learning how real companies run.

What We’re Looking For

Organized and dependable (if you say you’ll be there, you’re there)

Detail-oriented

Comfortable using a smartphone or camera for photos and video

Willing to attend some evening or weekend events

Strong communicator

Comfortable with Google Docs, Sheets, and basic office tools

Interested in marketing, communications, entrepreneurship, or small business

Bonus Points

Photography or video editing experience

Familiar with Canva, CapCut, or simple editing apps

Previous office, admin, or customer-facing experience

What You’ll Gain

Real-world marketing experience (not theory)

Exposure to how a growing service business actually operates

Hands-on event marketing experience

Direct mentorship

The opportunity to shape this role and grow it

Potential pathway to future employment

Who This Is Perfect For

A marketing or communications student who wants experience beyond the classroom

Someone entrepreneurial who wants to understand how local businesses grow

A self-starter who sees gaps and fills them

Someone who doesn’t wait to be told what to do

If you want a resume line, this probably isn’t for you.
If you want experience that actually matters, let’s talk.
