What are the responsibilities and job description for the Social Media Marketing Intern position at Akari Gin?
Social Media Marketing Intern
Akari is a new Japanese spirits company preparing to launch in just a few months, starting with our flagship Japanese gin and soon followed by a small-batch whiskey. We’re not your typical Japanese spirits brand. Our craftsmanship is world-class, but our identity is fun, bold, and eccentric—designed to capture the nostalgic, vibrant energy of Tokyo people dream about. Think: karaoke nights, dancing salarymen, and the cinematic escapism of Lost in Translation.
Our creative direction is uncompromising—we shoot exclusively on film to achieve a timeless, high-fashion aesthetic. Once you see our reels, stills, and content, you’ll understand the beauty and originality we bring to the industry.
We’re looking for a social media wizard who lives and breathes digital culture. Someone who:
- Has a strong sense of copywriting, voice, and visual taste
- Knows how to create content that stops the scroll and sparks conversation
- Understands analytics, algorithms, and what makes content go viral
- Is passionate about storytelling, community engagement, and all things social
This isn’t just an internship—it’s a chance to help shape one of the most design-forward Japanese spirits brands to launch in the U.S. You’ll get:
- Creative freedom to experiment and express ideas
- Portfolio-worthy projects that stand out
- A front-row seat to building a brand from the ground up
- Perks along the way (did we mention gin?)
If you love Tokyo, film, nightlife, and the idea of working with a brand that feels more like a vintage art-house film than a traditional liquor company—you’ll love Akari.
