Marketing and Content Creation Intern

Gather Communications | Clifton Park, NY

Part‑Time Internship

$20 Per Hour

July 2026 – December 2026

Potential for Full‑Time Employment Upon Completion

Want a marketing internship where you'll actually do marketing?

Gather Communications is a growing marketing agency based in Clifton Park that helps local businesses, nonprofits, schools, and organizations tell their stories through social media, content creation, advertising, websites, email marketing, public relations, and more.

We"re looking for a Marketing & Content Creation Intern who wants hands‑on experience working with real clients, creating real content, and making a real impact.

This isn't the kind of internship where you'll sit in the corner taking notes or spend your days getting coffee for the team.

You'll be creating content, attending client shoots, helping manage campaigns, learning directly from agency leadership, and gaining experience across nearly every aspect of modern marketing.

What You'll Do
Every week looks a little different around here, but some of your responsibilities may include:

Creating social media content for clients

Writing captions, blogs, newsletters, and marketing copy

Scheduling and publishing content

Assisting with client communication and content approvals

Monitoring and helping manage advertising campaigns

Attending client events and content collection sessions

Capturing photos and video content using company equipment

Assisting with video editing and reel creation

Helping maintain websites and digital platforms

Assisting with podcast production and content repurposing

Supporting a variety of client marketing initiatives

One day you may be helping create content for a local restaurant. The next, you might be attending a nonprofit event, filming a local business owner, helping launch an advertising campaign, or brainstorming content ideas for a school.

What We're Looking For
The most important qualification isn't listed on your resume.

We're looking for someone who genuinely wants to learn.

Is curious

Takes initiative

Shows up prepared

Wants real‑world experience

Wants to help local businesses succeed

Is interested in potentially building a long‑term career in marketing

Start Date: July 2026

Compensation: $20/hour

Schedule: Approximately 15 hours per week
