Are you the go-to meme guru in the group chat? Does your daily routine include scrolling, strategizing, and somehow always predicting the next trend on social? Did you see the 50th meme of Beyoncé from the GRAMMYs and think to yourself, “wow, this just doesn’t get old.”

Are you passionate about researching the latest digital innovations, learning new tools, and translating findings into that ‘a-ha’ moment for clients?

If you’ve ever thought, “This TikTok would be so much better if only brands knew how to play it right,” then we need your social-savvy mind on our team. We’ve got a seat at the table—and sometimes a square on Microsoft Teams—with your name on it.

If you’re nodding along with excitement, we’re glad you’re here, so keep reading! We are seeking an Intern, Social + Influencer Strategy to join our Washington, DC office this summer.

If you’ve got a talent for spotting trends before they’re trending and your vibe screams ‘extremely online’ yet somehow also professional, then we’d love to have you on our team!

Bonus points if you already have some professional experience in social and influencer strategy under your belt.

Successful candidates will have exceptional project management skills (does your desk look like one of those restocking videos with next-level organization?), a versatile understanding of a range of industries, and a high level of enthusiasm that drives results.

What We’re Looking For From You:

• Thinking: Out-of-the-box? More like no boxes at all. We’re looking for innovative thinkers.

• Management: You meet deadlines, multi-task like a pro, and keep things running smoothly.
• Detail-Oriented: Clear, precise, and on-point—always.
• Technical: You know your way around Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook. You know the ins and outs of social platforms like TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, X, and YouTube, and always keep your eye out for emerging platforms. Experience with CreatorIQ and Adobe Creative Suite? Even better!

• Availability: 40 hours a week from June to August.

If you’re ready to bring your creativity, hustle, and passion for social media to one of the world’s largest communications agencies, we’d love to hear from you!

TL;DR: You’re a rising star in social media who loves the work, speaks internet fluently, and wants to gain more experience in a collaborative, fast-paced agency environment.

Washington DC Salary range: $20.00 – $20.00

Where an employee or prospective employee is paid within this range will depend on, among other factors, actual ranges for current/former employees in the subject position; market considerations; budgetary considerations; tenure and standing with the company (applicable to current employees); as well as the employee’s/applicant’s background, pertinent experience, and qualifications.
