THE ROLE

We need a Marketing & Events Intern to help bring our brands to life—online and in person. You’ll create photos, videos, and posts across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and more, and you’ll be a hands-on part of our off-site events team, helping plan the details and then working the event itself. This role is for someone who is ready to jump in wherever needed. This is a part-time internship (15–20 hours/week) with schedules built around our events, including nights and weekends.  Based on business needs additional hours may be needed.

What You’ll Do:

Social Media & Content

• Shoot and edit photos & videos for social media.
• Plan and schedule posts; help shape the weekly content calendar.
• Write captions, manage contests/giveaways, and track engagement metrics.
• Capture live content at events—setups, behind-the-scenes, guest moments, and recap reels.
• Collaborate on campaigns, events, and community initiatives.
• Bonus: Have access to or own a camera. 

Off-Site Events — Planning

• Support the events team with planning for off-site catering and events: timelines, checklists, vendor follow-ups, and equipment and supply lists.
• Help keep event details organized and shared with the team, including client requests, changes, and event orders (BEOs)
• Prep event materials such as signage, menus, displays, branded décor, and promotional pieces.
• Research event ideas, local partnerships, and community opportunities.

Off-Site Events — Execution

• Work events on-site, including load-in, setup, guest check-in, breakdown, and load-out.
• Act as an extra set of hands for the event lead—solve problems as they come up and help keep the event on schedule.
• Represent our brands professionally with guests, clients, and vendors.
• Help with post-event wrap-up: returning equipment and inventory, posting recaps, and noting what to improve next time.

Wherever Needed

• Jump in across marketing, sales, and events projects as priorities shift.
• Support in-house private events and promotions at our locations as needed.

What We’re Looking For:

• Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a program in marketing, communications, hospitality, event management, or a related field—or equivalent hands-on experience.
• A creative eye and comfort shooting photos and video on a phone or camera.
• Working knowledge of editing tools (Canva, CapCut, Adobe Suite, or similar).
• Familiarity with social media platforms, trends, and analytics.
• Organized, self-motivated, and able to juggle multiple projects and deadlines.
• A “no task too small” attitude and a willingness to jump in wherever needed.
• Strong communication skills and a friendly, professional presence with guests and clients.
• Able to stand and walk for long event shifts and lift and carry up to 50 lbs, with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Reliable transportation to off-site event locations.
• Portfolio or examples of social content, photography, or video (class projects and personal accounts count).
• Flexibility in scheduling to match events on nights and weekends.

Bonus Skills:

• Event, catering, or lifestyle brand experience.
• Restaurant, bar, or hospitality experience (front-of-house, catering, or events).
• Experience with social media influencer partnerships or community campaigns.
• Experience creating video and social media content for events or live activations.
• Understanding of SEO and social media advertising basics.

Why Join Us:

• Real, hands-on experience in social media, events, and hospitality marketing.
• Learn how off-site events come together, from the first plan to the final load-out.
• Build a portfolio of published content and real events.
• Work in a creative, fast-paced environment.
• Be part of a local brand that values innovation and quality, with room to grow.

Bring our spaces, events, and stories to life—if you’re ready to create scroll-stopping content and jump in wherever the action is, we want you!
