Marketing Intern (Social Media, SF/KR)

About the Role

We’re looking for a Marketing Intern to help people discover Playad, understand what it can do, and want to try it. You notice why people stop scrolling, laugh, and share. When you see a great Reel, TikTok, or Short, you start thinking about how you would make your own. You enjoy being on camera and bringing ideas to life. You’ll work with our team to plan content, appear in videos, film, edit, publish, and help manage our social channels. Your content might be a quick product demo, a relatable moment from a marketer’s day, or a story from inside the team. You’ll take ideas from “we should make this” to a published post, then use the response to make the next one better.

Key Responsibilities

• Spot emerging memes, trends, and video formats, and turn them into ideas that fit Playad and its audience
• Appear on camera to share product demos, short explainers, and team stories
• Plan opening shots, hooks, scripts, and captions that give people a reason to stop scrolling
• Take content from concept through scripting, filming, editing, captions, and publishing
• Help maintain our content calendar and a consistent publishing rhythm
• Engage with comments and surface audience questions that could inspire new content
• Track views, audience retention, shares, and saves, then test different hooks, edits, and topics to improve the next piece of content
• Work with product and GTM teammates to find stories worth telling and use AI tools to improve the production process

Requirements & Tech Stack

• A strong feel for current social trends and internet culture, with the ability to adapt memes and short-form formats to Playad’s brand voice and audience
• Someone who enjoys being on camera and expresses themselves naturally
• Creative ideas and the initiative to make them happen
• Curiosity and the ability to learn new products and tools quickly
• Clear communication through short videos and concise writing
• Reliability in meeting deadlines and finishing what you start
• Openness to feedback and the ability to adjust based on audience response
• A willingness to ask for help, share context, and contribute to the team
• Ability to work across US and KR hours
