About the Role
The Weekend Co is seeking a Founding Marketing Intern for a part-time, paid, 2-3 month internship. This is the first hire for the early-stage team, and your work will directly impact company numbers. You will learn from experienced founders who have scaled consumer companies globally.
Role Description
You will create social media content and run paid advertising. You will work directly with the founders, owning your work from idea to execution to measuring results. You are expected to bring your own experience, opinions, evidence, and vision, and to push back when you disagree.
Key Responsibilities
- Create short-form video and posts for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts (5-10 videos a week).
- Set up, test, and improve paid ads on Meta, TikTok, and Apple Search Ads with a real budget.
- Participate as a member in communities like BookTok, Facebook Groups, Goodreads, Letterboxd, and Reddit.
- Find and work with microinfluencers in book, movie, and TV communities.
- Track weekly performance, share numbers with founders, and focus on what wins.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Proven ability to create social media content, demonstrated by a portfolio or your own account.
- Video editing and design skills (e.g., CapCut, Canva, Figma).
- Experience running paid social ads, developing strong hooks, and readiness to learn with real spend.
- Strong writing skills for hooks, captions, and ad copy.
- Comfortable with numbers: ability to test, measure, and adjust based on results.
- Self-directed and organized, capable of managing multiple projects and asking for help when needed.
- Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
Nice to Haves
- Active member of at least one book, movie, or TV community online or IRL, with an understanding of its formats and audience.
- Interest in guerrilla marketing and partnerships (e.g., with bookstores, book clubs, libraries, campus groups, movie theaters).
- Experience with creator outreach or a creator marketplace.
How to Apply
Submit the following instead of a traditional resume:
- Portfolio: Links to 3-5 TikTok videos or Reels you posted (personal or for other brands), with explanations of your thought process and production.
- Why us: A few sentences on your interest in Friday and Sunday, and the book, movie, or TV community you know best.
- Proof of your drive: Describe something you started or built independently (e.g., an account you grew, a club, a side business, an event, a project).
