Marketing, PR & Business Development Intern

CCA LRT | Compensated Internship | Potential Full-Time Opportunity

Are you curious about how brands become known, trusted, stocked, and remembered?

CCA LRT is looking for motivated interns who want hands-on experience learning from professionals with more than 35 years in public relations, advertising, marketing, music, media, and business development.

We are an independent creative and communications company built around the spirit of 1962, the golden age of advertising. We believe in strong ideas, memorable storytelling, practical marketing, and creative work that produces real results.

About CCA LRT

CCA LRT began with public relations, advertising, and marketing for independent musicians, bands, authors, designers, actors, products, and emerging brands. Today, our work has expanded into business-to-business and direct-to-consumer marketing, helping brands build awareness, find customers, secure commercial opportunities, and grow into new markets.

Our work includes:

Direct-to-consumer marketing and brand awareness
Business-to-business marketing and retail placement
Helping DTC brands move into B2B distribution
PR, advertising, media outreach, and campaign support
Product launches, rebrands, and promotional campaigns
Placement opportunities for everyday and speciality products
Support for vending machines and other product-led businesses
Campaigns for independent musicians, authors, designers, and creative brands

Getting a product noticed is only the beginning. We help brands build the story, create demand, reach the right people, and support continued growth.

CCA LRT also has its own independent media network, including streaming television, a PDF magazine, advertising platforms, catalogue and fanzine projects, and a radio station scheduled to launch in 2027. Our original advertising and editorial opportunities help clients reach audiences through more meaningful channels than social media alone.

What You Could Learn

This internship offers practical exposure to the full creative-to-commercial process, including:

Writing and developing marketing and PR materials
Creating advertising concepts and campaign ideas
Supporting brand launches and rebranding projects
Researching retailers, buyers, venues, and commercial partners
Developing B2B and DTC marketing strategies
Supporting product placement and sales outreach
Working with independent artists and creative businesses
Learning how media, editorial, radio, streaming, and advertising work together
Understanding how a brand moves from awareness to customer action
Seeing how campaigns are planned, presented, promoted, and measured

You will learn through real projects, direct feedback, and hands-on involvement. This is an opportunity to understand not only how marketing looks, but how it works.

Who We’re Looking For

You may be a strong fit if you are interested in:

Marketing, advertising, public relations, or communications
Brand development and business development
Retail, product placement, and sales support
Music, publishing, entertainment, or independent media
Creative writing, campaign planning, or storytelling
Entrepreneurship and small-business growth
The relationship between DTC marketing and B2B expansion

You do not need to know everything already. We are looking for curiosity, reliability, initiative, creativity, and a genuine desire to learn.

What We Offer

A compensated internship opportunity
Hands-on experience with live creative and commercial projects
Mentorship from experienced industry professionals
Exposure to PR, advertising, marketing, media, and business development
The possibility of a full-time role for the right candidate
A supportive, independent, and creatively driven working environment

CCA LRT is LGBTQ founded and -friendly and encourages LGBTQ+ candidates to apply. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, especially people who bring fresh ideas, different perspectives, and a desire to help independent brands and creators succeed.

If you want to learn how strong ideas become campaigns, how products reach the right buyers, and how brands grow from direct connection into wider distribution, we would like to hear from you.
