Social Media/Marketing/PR Interns for Summer, Fall, Winter 2027 at The Vow Whisperer

The Vow Whisperer is seeking an exceptionally motivated, creative, resourceful, and detail-oriented Social Media, Marketing & Public Relations Intern to become an integral part of our growing team. This is a hands-on position for a student who wants meaningful experience across social media strategy, content creation, public relations, influencer outreach, digital marketing, SEO, brand development, professional networking, and business development within the luxury wedding industry. The internship begins May 1, 2027 with a training period prior. It requires a commitment of at least two or three consecutive semesters, preferably longer. Please do not apply if you are graduating in May 2027. The intern will work directly with The Vow Whisperer’s Founder/CEO and Social Media Manager and will have significant responsibility for helping execute and grow the brand’s marketing presence. This is not an internship centered around observation or administrative work. We are looking for someone who wants to research, create, pitch, write, experiment, follow up, track results, and take ownership of projects from idea through execution. High-performing interns may be considered for future paid opportunities upon graduation. RESPONSIBILITIES Social Media Strategy & Content Creation Help manage and grow The Vow Whisperer’s presence across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, Facebook, Reddit, and emerging platforms. Responsibilities include: Create, schedule, and publish engaging social media content. Develop original graphics, captions, Reels, videos, educational resources, and other branded content. Edit short-form video for Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and other platforms. Repurpose existing content creatively across multiple channels while adapting it appropriately for each platform. Research social media trends, formats, sounds, music, hashtags, and emerging content opportunities. Research platform-specific best practices and recommend new strategies. Help develop new branded templates and visual concepts using Canva and CapCut. Experiment thoughtfully with new creative tools, including subtle AI-assisted video and motion when appropriate to the brand. Prepare content in organized batches for review and approval. Participate in relevant Facebook wedding communities. Research and engage authentically within Reddit bridal and wedding communities. The goal is not simply to post content, but to understand why particular content works, who it reaches, and how it can support the larger brand and business. TikTok & Short-Form Video Development Help significantly expand The Vow Whisperer’s short-form video presence. The intern will: Research relevant TikTok and Reels trends. Identify trending sounds, music, formats, text treatments, hooks, and content structures. Develop educational wedding and vow-related videos. Create quick tips, advice, text-based videos, photo-based videos, and original short-form concepts. Repurpose strong Instagram content for TikTok when appropriate. Experiment with Canva and CapCut templates. Explore subtle AI-generated motion, particularly with landscape, venue, floral, and environmental photography. Adapt trends thoughtfully so that content remains sophisticated and consistent with The Vow Whisperer brand rather than following trends simply because they are popular. Submit content for approval in organized batches that include the video, proposed caption, hashtags, and relevant notes.

Responsibilities include: Conduct Pinterest keyword and search research. Create Pinterest-specific graphics and educational resources. Repurpose appropriate Instagram and existing brand content. Develop new branded Pinterest templates. Use existing wedding photography strategically. Optimize titles, descriptions, keywords, and links. Connect pins whenever possible to relevant blog posts, resources, service pages, or contact pages on The Vow Whisperer website. The objective is to treat Pinterest as a long-term search and conversion channel, not simply another social media account. LinkedIn Strategy, Thought Leadership & Networking Help develop LinkedIn as a professional thought-leadership, networking, referral, and business-development channel. LinkedIn outreach should always be personalized, professional, and relationship-driven rather than mass sales outreach. Strong writing ability is particularly important in this area.

Engagement may include watching and responding to Stories, leaving thoughtful comments, interacting with posts, identifying new accounts, participating appropriately in conversations, and sharing relevant content. The goal is genuine relationship-building and increased brand visibility, rather than indiscriminate liking or commenting. Organization, Tracking & Follow-Through This position requires someone who is exceptionally organized.
