About Vibes Matter
Vibes Matter is more than a brand—it’s a movement.

We are our thoughts.

Our thoughts become our emotions.

Our emotions become our vibes.

Our vibes impact everyone we interact with.

Your Vibe Matters and can impact everyone you interact with and they interact with.

The Opportunity
We’re looking for a high-energy, creative, and driven Social Media Intern who wants to build something meaningful from the ground up with 3 passionate founders who have a lot of real-world experience and positive team vibes.

Shape the voice of the brand

Build and execute social strategy

Create content that actually moves people

Help grow a movement—not just an audience

Sell merchandise and products that helps mental health

Identify platforms, trends, and growth opportunities

Planning & Execution

Develop weekly and monthly content plans

Build and manage a content calendar

Execute consistently across platforms (IG, TikTok, X, etc.)

Report on user and engagement growth

Content Creation

Help capture authentic, real-life “vibe” moments

Tools & Systems

Research and select the best tools for:

Scheduling

Editing

Analytics

Build lightweight systems that scale

Influencer Strategy

Identify aligned creators and communities

Build an influencer outreach plan

Initiate and manage outreach conversations

Help form early partnerships and collaborations

Who You Are

You’re obsessed with social media and understand what performs on all platforms or a willingness to try

You’re both creative and execution-focused (ideas + action)

You have strong intuition for content, culture, and trends

You’re scrappy and comfortable building from zero

You care about personal growth, mindset, and energy

You want to be part of something bigger than yourself

Bonus if you:

Have experience growing an account (personal or brand)

Are you comfortable on camera or directing content

Are based in San Diego / SoCal

What You Get

Direct access to founders and real startup experience

Creative ownership (your ideas will actually ship)

Equity in an early-stage movement

A path to becoming a core founding team member

The chance to help build something that actually impacts people’s lives

Why This Matters
This isn’t about posting content. This is about changing how people show up in the world. When we do this right, we don’t just build a brand—we create a movement that shifts the vibe of the globe at scale. Life is hard, and the world is crazy right now. We all need to lift eachother up and each and every person and their personal vibe matters.
