Internship Description:
We're looking for a creative, social media-savvy intern who gets that tea doesn't have to be stuffy and marketing doesn't have to be corporate BS. If you've got ideas, love creating content that actually makes people stop scrolling, and want real experience, this is for you.

- Capture killer content at events (because if it's not on Instagram, did it even happen?)
- Dive into analytics and tell us what's working and what's flopping
- Bring fresh eyes to our branding and don't be afraid to challenge the status quo

Preferred Qualifications:
- Must be comfortable with our irreverent, edgy brand voice and have a sense of humor that matches our vibe.
- Outgoing personality with confidence representing the brand at local artisan markets and music festivals.
- Self-motivated with ability to work independently, manage time effectively, and meet deadlines.
- Flexibility for occasional weekend events required.
- Experience with Canva, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar content creation tools is a plus.
