About PLUG

At PLUG, we’re reimagining how founders use tools to build and scale their businesses. With a bold vision for the future of founder support, PLUG is building a smarter, more personalized way for entrepreneurs to get what they need, when they need it.


Overview

We’re looking for a social media & marketing intern who can help bring PLUG’s voice, story, and brand to life. This isn’t a “just schedule posts” kind of role — it’s for someone who loves experimenting with content, testing what resonates, and turning loose ideas into compelling stories across platforms. If you’re creative, adaptable, and excited to shape a brand that’s still evolving, you’ll fit right in.


What You’ll Do

  • Create and experiment with content that helps founders discover PLUG — from posts to videos to lightweight campaigns
  • Work directly with the Founder/CEO to translate raw ideas, conversations, and moments into engaging marketing
  • Test content across LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and email to see what actually drives interest
  • Help refine PLUG’s brand voice and visual identity as we learn what resonates
  • Track performance, gather insights, and pitch fresh content concepts
  • Collaborate with the GTM and product intern to turn product updates and founder learnings into stories that connect
  • Stay on top of trends, formats, and cultural moments worth tapping into


Ideal Background

  • Undergraduate students studying Marketing, Communications, Media, Business, or a related field
  • Creative thinkers who love storytelling, social media culture, and content experimentation
  • Comfortable producing scrappy, fast-turnaround content using whatever tools you already use
  • Strong writing and editing skills — you can capture a vibe in a sentence
  • Curious, flexible, and excited to try new formats, styles, and strategies
  • Interested in startups, creator culture, and building brands from scratch


What Success Looks Like

  • You create content that consistently drives founder awareness and engagement
  • You help define PLUG’s personality across platforms — voice, tone, and visual vibe
  • You bring ideas to life quickly, without waiting for perfect production
  • You turn everyday founder conversations and product updates into scroll-stopping stories
  • You test, measure, and evolve content based on real data, not guesswork
  • You help PLUG show up online with authenticity, clarity, and momentum
