Social Media Intern (Summer 2027)

Our clients usually talk directly to the person doing the work. Everyone writes, everyone pulls reports, and everyone sits in on client calls.

Overview

The Marketing Team at South Shore Advertising runs four brand accounts and needs an extra pair of hands. This is a hands-on role, not a coffee-run internship. This role is fully remote within the US. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing. Day-to-day communication is in Slack and Google Meet.

Responsibilities

Coordinate with creators over DM for barter collaborations, using message templates approved by the team. Support small paid boosts by preparing creatives and copy variations for testing. Edit short Reels and YouTube Shorts in CapCut or InShot from raw clips shared by the team. Study 5 competitor accounts each month and note what their best posts have in common. Schedule posts through Meta Business Suite or Buffer and double check timings before they go live. Reply to comments and DMs within the same working day, escalating complaints to the marketing lead. Research trending audio, formats and memes that fit the brand, and pitch 3 ideas in every Monday call.

Who can apply

Based in the US for the duration of the internship. Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply. Available 40 hours a week for the full internship. Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028. Familiarity with Google Sheets for simple tracking. Able to stick to deadlines without daily reminders. Basic Canva skills. Please share 2 or 3 designs you have made, even if they were for a college club. Laptop with a stable internet connection, plus a working smartphone for recording and checking posts. Good written English. Captions will be checked, but they should not need rewriting.
