Marketing Intern

Description

Richardson's Brand Marketing Intern is an embedded member of the Brand Marketing & Design team, contributing real work to Richardson's social media presence and brand marketing efforts from day one.

This isn't a coffee-fetching internship. You'll work directly alongside Richardson's Marketing Specialist on social media content creation: shooting, editing, writing, and publishing content that reaches real audiences across real platforms. You'll also contribute to broader brand marketing efforts, giving you hands-on exposure to how a professional marketing team plans, produces, and executes campaigns.

If you're a current college student who creates content, thinks in captions, and wants to see what brand marketing looks like from the inside, this is the role for you.

Who We’re Looking For

You're a current undergraduate student with a genuine interest in brand marketing, social media, and content creation. You're creative, curious, and self-motivated, as well as someone who pays attention to how brands show up online and has ideas about how to make them better. You're organized, know how to meet a deadline, collaborative, and eager to bring your own perspective to the work.

You don't need to have it all figured out. You need to be ready to learn, willing to contribute, and excited about the opportunity to do real work for a real brand.

Who You’ll Work With

This role reports to Richardson's Marketing Director, with day-to-day direction provided by the Marketing Specialist. You'll work closely with the Marketing Specialist on social media content creation and will have opportunities to collaborate with the broader Brand Marketing & Design team on brand marketing initiatives throughout your internship.

• How a professional brand marketing team plans, produces, and executes integrated campaigns.
• What it takes to manage a brand's social media presence at a professional level, including strategy, content creation, scheduling, and performance.
• How to write and create content that reflects a brand's voice, values, and audience framework.
• How marketers, designers, and agencies collaborate to bring campaigns to life.
• What demand-led brand marketing looks like in practice and why it matters for a company like Richardson.
