AEG
Social Media Marketing Intern - Summer 2026
Paid internship
We're looking for a Social Media Marketing Intern for Spring 2026! If you love running, creativity, and connecting with a vibrant community, this is your chance to help us bring race-day energy online. You'll create posts, videos, and stories for all our social channels, capture live event moments, and help runners, volunteers, and fans feel the excitement. We're a Cleveland-based race management and timing team passionate about bringing runners together - from first-timers to lifelong marathoners. Every event we produce is built around community, connection, and that post-race finish line feeling. We're looking for a creative and motivated Social Media Intern who can help us share those stories and moments all season long.
The Social Media Marketing Intern will help bring the energy of race day to life online. From capturing finish-line smiles to designing countdown posts and recapping events, you'll be part of the team that connects runners, volunteers, and partners year-round.
Assist in building and managing content across all social platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, X, LinkedIn).
Create and schedule engaging posts, stories, and short-form videos that reflect the running community's energy and spirit.
Capture and edit live content at races - think finish line celebrations, volunteers in action, and race-day vibes.
Help brainstorm and produce creative series (runner spotlights, training tips, race previews, photo challenges).
Organize and maintain a library of photo and video content for future use.
Track engagement and help suggest ideas to boost reach and interaction.
Collaborate with our team on marketing campaigns, emails, and race promotions.
Stay up to date on social trends and apply them creatively to our events and community.
A current college student (sports management, sports marketing, communications, journalism, or related major).
Active user of social media with a good sense of what content connects and inspires people.
Creative, resourceful, and excited to bring ideas to the table.
Strong writing and visual storytelling skills.
Experience with Canva, CapCut, or Adobe tools a plus.
Reliable and organized, with the ability to balance multiple projects.
A love of running, fitness, or live events is a major bonus (but not required - we'll make you a fan fast!).
Hands-on experience managing social media for large-scale events.
A creative outlet with the freedom to test ideas and see your work in action.
Opportunities to attend races, meet the running community, and build your professional portfolio.
Mentorship and practical insight into sports marketing, events, and storytelling.
