Social Media Intern

Social Media Intern — Instagram, TikTok & Creative Content

About us

We’re a small creative agency working across art, design, content, technology, and experimental media. We’re looking for a creative, self-starting social media intern to help us build and grow our presence on Instagram, with the possibility of expanding into TikTok.

This is a hands-on role for someone who understands visual culture, likes making things, and wants to help shape a social presence from the ground up. You’ll help us turn our projects, process, ideas, references, and creative work into engaging social content.

This is a good fit for someone who has a strong visual eye, follows internet and creative culture, and is excited to learn how a small creative agency builds its voice, audience, and content systems.

What you’ll do

You’ll help bootstrap and manage our social media presence, especially Instagram, with possible support for TikTok. Responsibilities may include:

Helping develop our Instagram content strategy, visual direction, and posting rhythm

Creating, organizing, and scheduling posts, Reels, Stories, carousels, and short-form video concepts

Turning agency work, behind-the-scenes process, references, experiments, and ideas into social content

Researching trends, formats, artists, brands, creators, sounds, visual styles, and cultural references

Assisting with captions, hooks, light copywriting, and content concepts

Helping maintain a content calendar and organize social assets

Editing simple short-form videos, image posts, graphics, and visual layouts

Supporting photo, video, and digital asset workflows

Helping identify what types of content are working and suggesting improvements

Experimenting with AI-assisted creative workflows for content development, image editing, research, and production

Helping us design, test, and improve internal creative tools for social content and production

Assisting with general agency projects as needed

Who you are

You do not need to know everything already. The most important thing is that you are curious, reliable, visually thoughtful, and excited to help build something.

Ideally, you have:

Some experience making content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or other social platforms

A good eye for composition, typography, color, style, and visual storytelling

Basic writing or captioning ability

Strong communication skills and attention to detail

A self-starting attitude and willingness to figure things out

Interest in creative technology, AI, digital media, and new workflows

A portfolio, social account, website, moodboard, video reel, or examples of creative work

What you’ll learn

This internship is designed to be educational and practical. You’ll get experience helping build a real creative agency’s social presence while also learning how content systems, creative tools, and production workflows work behind the scenes.

You’ll gain experience with:

Instagram content strategy and account development

Short-form video concepts and social storytelling

Creative direction and visual research

Design, branding, and visual identity fundamentals

AI-assisted content creation and production workflows

Digital asset organization and production pipelines

Designing and testing custom creative tools

Understanding the strengths, limits, and use cases of existing creative tools

Turning creative process problems into useful tools and workflows

By the end of the internship, you should have a stronger understanding of how to build a social media presence for a creative company, how to turn creative work into compelling content, and how modern creative tools can support content production. You’ll also have portfolio examples of content, systems, workflows, and tools you helped shape.
