Looking to build your social media skills 😊 I’m offering an unpaid internship designed for educational growth and hands-on learning. You’ll be working directly with a small, Latina-owned hair brand (run by just one passionate founder!)—no big team, just a whole lot of hustle and heart. Perfect for students or recent grads looking to gain experience, build their portfolio, and grow with a startup brand. 🌟 What You’ll Do: - Help plan, create, and schedule engaging posts that build hype for our June relaunch — think teasers, countdowns, and BTS. - Make meme-worthy, on-brand content that speaks to our audience: witty, empowering, relatable, and hair-obsessed, - Keep up with social trends, audio, hashtags, and viral formats — and pitch ways to tie them into our brand. - Brainstorm and share content ideas: Reels, TikToks, tutorials, UGC prompts, glow-up stories, etc. - Assist with writing fun captions and social copy that sound like our brand voice (confident, girly, inclusive). - Engage with our online community — respond to comments, DMs, and connect with other creators/influencers. - Help track post performance, reach, and engagement to learn what’s working. - Be our go-to for fresh ideas that feel current and creative — from meme trends to inspo boards. 💁‍♀️ You’re a Great Fit If You: - Are active on TikTok, Instagram, and know how trends evolve (you’re “that” friend who sends reels first). - Have a strong eye for aesthetic & brand voice — especially in beauty, hair care, or wellness. - Know basic Canva, CapCut, or other content creation tools (bonus if you dabble in Adobe Suite). - Are passionate about beauty, hair care, self-love, and Latina/POC culture. - Can work independently, pitch ideas, and stay organized in a fast-paced (but fun!) environment. - Love memes, pop culture, and storytelling — and can turn everyday moments into scroll-stoppers.
