Fall 2026 Social Media Intern

At Idea Peddler, we see interns as the next wave of creative thinkers, and investing in them is an investment in the future of our industry. We give interns real‑world experience, helping them grow through hands‑on projects, mentorship, and collaboration. Their fresh ideas and perspectives challenge us to think differently, and in return, we offer the opportunity to build skills, confidence, and a network through hands‑on client experience. We’re not just teaching, we’re shaping the future of creativity together.
Our Fall 2026 Internship Program will run from September 1st thru December 18th and is 20 hours per week. The agency is remote on Monday and Fridays and in‑office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays and we’ll need you in the office at least 80% of the time (16 hrs).
Our Social Media Intern is a go‑getter who is eager to develop professionally through dedication and hard work with the Idea Peddler team. We are looking for an individual whose ambition to grow their skills and develop their strengths is their top priority. No need for mindless paper pushers here; we are more interested in your intellect and genuinely want your impact. Everything you work on will have a true and immediate influence on the business. It is a unique opportunity to see your contributions play out on a large scale in the “real world.”
This internship is an opportunity to understand social media from a holistic perspective. The position will include short‑term, mid‑term and long‑term projects.
