What are the responsibilities and job description for the Social Media Marketing Intern position at TapBlaze?
We're TapBlaze, a Los Angeles-based casual mobile game studio behind Good Pizza, Great Pizza and Good Coffee, Great Coffee. We're looking for someone special to join our team for a 10-week social media marketing internship.
This is a hands-on, fast-paced program where you'll work on real projects from day one. The gaming industry moves quickly, and we want to set you up with the kind of experience and skills that actually prepare you for it.
We have established audiences across multiple platforms and are looking for someone to help us deepen that engagement, grow our reach, and turn our communities into a stronger driver of installs and brand awareness.
We value passion, creativity, and a genuine desire to grow. If you're curious whether you'd be a good culture fit, we encourage you to learn more about our team values at tapblaze.com.
What You'll Do
By week 10, you'll be running our social end-to-end — setting the creative strategy, producing platform-native content, writing copy that drives installs and not just likes, and publishing across all our channels. You'll have a clear read on which platforms have the most room to grow for our games, backed by real data, and an active pulse on our communities that surfaces trends, feedback, and ideas before they're obvious to the rest of the team. The goal is to leave us with a sharper, more intentional social presence than we had when you started, and a playbook we can keep building on.
What We're Looking For
As an equal opportunity employer committed to meeting the needs of a multigenerational and multicultural workforce TapBlaze recognizes that a diverse staff, reflective of our community, is an integral and welcome part of a successful and ethical business. We hire local talent at all levels regardless of race, color, religion, age, national origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, or disability, and actively foster inclusion in all forms both within our company and across interactions with vendors and partners.
If this position caught your eye, send us your resume! For best consideration, include a cover letter explaining why you’d be an excellent fit. We read every one. To confirm you did too, include the phrase “coffee is great” somewhere in your cover letter.
