The internship

The Brand and Content Team at The Hollywood Times runs four brand accounts and needs an extra pair of hands. This is a hands-on role, not a coffee-run internship. You can work from home anywhere in the US. We have no office requirement. Few meetings, lots of written updates. We talk mostly in Slack and hop on quick calls when something needs discussing.

• Research trending audio, formats and memes that fit the brand, and pitch 3 ideas in every Monday call.
• Write captions, hooks and hashtags for 10 to 15 posts a week, in the brand voice.
• Schedule posts through Meta Business Suite or Buffer and double check timings before they go live.
• Track reach, saves, shares and follower growth every week and put the numbers in a simple report.
• Plan a weekly content calendar for Instagram, LinkedIn and Facebook in Google Sheets or Notion.
• Reply to comments and DMs within the same working day, escalating complaints to the marketing lead.

Requirements

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating 2028.
• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Laptop with a stable internet connection, plus a working smartphone for recording and checking posts.
