Social Media Intern

About us

Most of our subscribers have taken the paper for decades. We cover city council, school board, high school sports and obituaries. Copy editors read everything twice before it publishes.

Overview

The Brand and Content Team at Thicketset Media runs four brand accounts and needs an extra pair of hands. This is a hands-on role, not a coffee-run internship. Remote position. Most of the team is in Houston, but nobody is required to come in. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

Responsibilities

• Draft LinkedIn posts for the founder's profile from rough notes or voice memos
• Support small paid boosts by preparing creatives and copy variations for testing
• Research trending audio, formats and memes that fit the brand, and pitch 3 ideas in every Monday call
• Study 5 competitor accounts each month and note what their best posts have in common
• Reply to comments and DMs within the same working day, escalating complaints to the marketing lead

Who can apply

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply
• Available 40 hours a week for the full internship
• Based in the US for the duration of the internship
• Active personal use of Instagram and LinkedIn. You should know the difference between a Reel, a carousel and a Story without looking it up
• Laptop with a stable internet connection, plus a working smartphone for recording and checking posts
• Familiarity with Google Sheets for simple tracking

What you get out of it

• Certificate and a letter of recommendation for interns who complete the full term
• Weekly feedback on your captions and designs from the marketing lead
• Basics of creator outreach and barter deals
• How to plan and run a content calendar for real brand accounts, not mock projects
