Social Media Marketing/Digital Content Intern

Social Media Marketing/Digital Content Internship

Qualifications
  • Digital Marketing: 1 year (Preferred)
  • Work Authorization (Required)


About Us:
Rocky Mountain French Bulldog Rescue (RMFBR), a foster-based, 501c3, has assisted in the rescue of over 100 dogs a year since 2014. Our mission is Every French Bulldog Deserves a Furever Home because our goals are happy and healthy homes for all dogs with medical needs rather than only physical or behavioral. We currently have three Board members and one full-time staff (Executive Director). Our volunteer base and foster homes are currently at 330 for 2023 with approximately 10 very dedicated volunteers. 
French bulldogs are brachycephalic (BOAS); shortened spines, short noses, flat faces and heads, and an elongated soft palate. This body shape causes respiratory distress and severe neurological issues. Surgical procedures can correct the stenotic nares and palate, giving them improved airflow through their nostrils, as well as a longer life span. BOAS can also cause syringomyelia and heart tumors (chemodectoma). Additionally, approximately 48% of Frenchies will experience some form of paralysis during their lifetime due to incorrectly formed spines which are congenital to the breed. 

Although there are a handful of French bulldog rescues in the United States, only RMFBR is attempting to take-in, rehabilitate, and find Furever Homes for French bulldogs with severe medical issues. 

About the Role:
We are seeking a mission driven, animal-loving summer intern with digital/social media marketing skills to lead our day-to-day social media content creation and management (post to and manage comments) for IG, FB, TikTok, and LinkedIN. 
This role will report into the Executive Director and will interact daily with the RMFBR Board, Volunteers, and Fosters to gather content and requirements. This role will gain experience and knowledge in launching marketing projects and tasks including social media management, copywriting, and content development.

Some of the things that you’ll be doing include:
  • Assisting our staff with executing a social media strategy
  • Creating relevant social media posts about our campaigns, bringing awareness to our mission, and growing our audiences
  • Interacting with followers and thanking supporters, volunteers, and corporate partners for their support
  • Providing copywriting support across all communication channels
  • Working closely with team members to produce content
  • Researching audience activity and behavior
  • Collaborating respectfully and productively with fosters and team members

Examples of work: Each rescue intake needs content created (announcements) as they come through the rescue. All content will be created in Canva and then will need to be posted online i.e. foster homes needed, foster updates, adoptive homes needed, adoption announcements, end of month summary content, medical Monday posts, etc. This role will engage with and gather content from current fosters as well as online research, team members, and vet clinics.
