Founding Marketing Intern
Launching Pad AI is an AI education company helping middle and high school students become confident, creative users of AI.
We teach students how to use modern AI tools to turn their ideas into real projects, from apps and websites to games, study tools, and other digital products. Our programs focus on practical AI skills, creativity, and learning by building, rather than traditional coding instruction.
We are looking for a proactive, creative Founding Marketing Intern to help grow Launching Pad AI across social media and digital channels.
This is a hands-on role for someone who genuinely understands social media, enjoys creating content, and wants to experiment with different ways to grow an early-stage brand. You will work directly with the founder and have significant ownership over what we test, create, and launch.
We are especially looking for someone who does not need to be told exactly what to post every day. You should be comfortable researching what works, proposing ideas, testing them, and learning from the results.
What you will do
- Create and publish content across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and X/Twitter.
- Research trends, formats, creators, and competitor accounts to identify content ideas worth testing.
- Develop social media campaigns designed to increase awareness, engagement, and leads.
- Turn existing ideas, student projects, videos, and founder content into engaging social posts.
- Help develop a consistent content calendar and posting strategy.
- Write clear, engaging copy for social media, newsletters, landing pages, and other marketing materials.
- Track basic performance metrics and identify what content and channels are working.
- Experiment with new growth ideas and proactively recommend what we should try next.
- Potentially support paid advertising experiments across Meta and Google as the role develops.
Who you are
- You spend a lot of time on social media and can explain why certain posts, creators, or brands are performing well.
- You have managed, grown, or created content for a social media account, organization, club, business, or personal project.
- You are comfortable coming up with ideas instead of waiting for detailed instructions.
- You have strong instincts for what makes content interesting, clickable, or shareable.
- You are a strong writer and can adapt your tone for different platforms.
- You are curious, organized, and willing to experiment.
- You can work independently and follow through on projects.
