Interns will also receive guided training on key tasks such as content planning, campaign research, influencer/partner outreach basics, event support preparation, and client-ready writing.

This internship is primarily remote and computer-based. If interns attend on-site meetings or support events, tasks may include standing for periods of time, walking, setting up materials, and carrying lightweight supplies (such as marketing collateral, small signage, or tote bags). Interns will not be required to lift heavy boxes or equipment. All on-site duties will be supervised, with clear instructions, appropriate breaks, and a safe working environment. Any heavier lifting or specialized setup will be handled by staff, vendors, or event crew.
