Content Internship

NEXT AVAILABLE OPENING:

Future internship opportunities:

  • Spring 2025 (Jan 13 - Apr 11)
  • Summer 2025 (May 12 - Aug 8)
  • Fall 2025 (Sep 8 - Dec 5)

The content team shapes your brand’s digital presence with a focus on organic growth! Not only do they craft engaging social media posts—they create email newsletters, insightful blog content, and much more. Aligned with Deksia’s results-driven approach, we also compile and distribute monthly reports to clients, showcasing their brand’s influence within their digital community.

Content interns need more than just a strong understanding of social media marketing—they must be adaptable in the face of change. When a new algorithm inevitably emerges, they’ll work alongside the content team to adjust strategies and stay ahead of the curve.

Interns will report to a senior content team member. Responsibilities include drafting emails, blog posts, and social media campaign pieces and supporting social media accounts. Interns may also pull crucial data for reports and assist with other data-gathering tasks.
