Marketing & Social Media Intern
Honestly? The job is to go to cafés, drink coffee and matcha, and make content about it.
The coffee’s on us, obviously.
Brew and the City is a new discovery platform helping people find independent cafés, and helping local cafés get discovered. We’re starting in Calgary and Toronto and building a community around the cafés, people and places that make a city worth exploring.
We’re looking for a creative Marketing & Social Media Intern to help us bring Brew and the City to life online. You’ll work closely with the founder to help build and promote the brand.

- Edit short-form video for Instagram Reels and TikTok in CapCut
- Design static posts, stories and graphics in Canva, on-brand and consistent

On location
- Shoot photo and video at Calgary and Toronto cafés — the drinks, the light, the corner table
- Create promotional content for partner cafés and for launch campaigns
- Appear on camera when a piece calls for it
Community
- Manage the posting calendar — what goes up, and when
- Monitor and reply to comments and DMs across our channels

Keeping track
- Track what performs, and say plainly what’s working and what isn’t
- Keep content, assets and the calendar organized and current
- Bring your own ideas — you’ll have real creative ownership here
You don’t need years of marketing experience. We’re looking for someone creative, curious and excited to build something from the ground up.
Logistics
- Based in Calgary or Toronto
- A flexible schedule — we work around school and whatever else you have on
- Able to get around your city for shoots at cafés
Mindset and work style
- A self-starter who can take an idea and run with it without being told how
- Resourceful — you look things up before you ask
- Comfortable pre-launch, where the plan changes and not everything is decided yet
- Open to feedback and quick to apply it
- Willing to post something that might not work, and to say so when it doesn’t
Skills and tools
- Editing short-form video in CapCut into something genuinely social-ready
- Designing in Canva to a consistent, on-brand look
- Instagram and TikTok as a maker, not just a viewer
- Writing captions that sound like a person wrote them
- Comfortable appearing on camera, at least somewhat
- A real grasp of what’s working on social right now, and why
If you’re someone who sees a café and immediately thinks “that would make such a good TikTok,” we’d love to hear from you.
Send us your resume and a portfolio, or just examples of content and design work you've made. Links are fine — a TikTok account you run counts as a portfolio here.
