The Lexington County Blowfish Baseball Club is seeking a highly motivated person to accept the position of Social Media Intern for the 2026 season. Let's start by saying, this is a TRUE social media internship. We want you to come in and take us to another level. We want videos, photos, out-of-the-box ideas to make our social media even more of a hit with our fans and soon-to-be fans. We focus on pulling in ticket buyers from Facebook and Instagram, but we have other platforms that need some love (i.e. TikTok). How's it all sound so far? Yes, there are guidelines when it comes to our brand. We are a family-friendly sports team and love building relationships with our fans. Social media is more than posting. It's commenting on posts from our corporate partners. It's creating events and sharing them with our community. It's engaging and creating thumb-stopping content. We're not looking for someone to come in, post a few things and then wrap up the internship. We want you to help us move our brand to another level and invest time into creating something that you can be proud of when you leave. Key Responsibilities:
The Social Media Intern is expected to work all home games. On game day, the candidate is expected to report when assigned by the Assistant General Manager and assist with pregame setup. Who are we looking for?
The Blowfish are seeking college students with HIGH attention to detail who live in the Midlands of South Carolina or attend a local college or university. Interns are required to routinely travel to Lexington County Baseball Stadium. It is highly preferred that students are able to receive course credit from their college or university for the summer internship. Interns must be available to work from mid-May through the second week of August. About the Blowfish:
Named after the best band of the 90s - Hootie and the Blowfish - the Blowfish are a summer collegiate baseball team located in Lexington, South Carolina, and affiliated with the Coastal Plain League. The Blowfish are famous for community engagement, all-you-can-eat ticket plans and providing affordable family fun at the ballpark. The Blowfish are locally-owned by Bill and Vicki Shanahan. Three summers ago, more than 25 interns celebrated on the field as the team won the 2023 CPL Petitt Cup Championship. The Blowfish also were named the 2023 CPL Organization of the Year.

- Work with our Front Office staff in creating a content calendar for the season.
