Social Media Intern
Social Media & Content Marketing Intern
Rday Cake Creations | Canton, GA
About Rday Cake Creations
Rday Cake Creations is a growing cake and dessert business in Canton, Georgia. We create custom cakes, cookies, cupcakes, specialty desserts, cake decorating experiences, our Mobile Cake Bar, and event and wedding services.
We are looking for a creative, motivated college student who wants real-world marketing experience and portfolio-building opportunities while helping a growing local business strengthen its social media presence.
The Opportunity
We have a large library of photos and videos from our cakes, customers, events, classes, products, and behind-the-scenes work—but we don't currently have enough time to consistently turn that content into engaging social media.
That's where you come in.
This is an opportunity to work directly with the business owner and help develop and execute a social media strategy for a real, growing consumer brand.
What You'll Do
Help manage Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok content
Turn existing photos and videos into engaging Reels, TikTok's, Stories, and posts
Edit short-form video using tools such as Canva and/or CapCut
Create graphics and promotional materials in Canva
Develop and maintain a content calendar
Help promote products, events, cake decorating classes, weddings, and seasonal campaigns
Identify social media trends and recommend content ideas
Write engaging captions and calls-to-action
Help organize our existing photo/video content
Track basic social media performance and engagement
Recommend ways to increase reach, engagement, followers, and customer inquiries
Occasionally capture new photo/video content at the shop or events
What You'll Gain
This isn't an internship where you'll simply be asked to make copies or perform administrative tasks.
You'll have the opportunity to build a portfolio featuring real marketing work for a real local business, including:
Social media campaigns
Short-form video
Content calendars
Canva graphics
Event marketing
Seasonal campaigns
Product promotion
Local business marketing
Social media analytics
Brand strategy
You will also have the opportunity to work directly with the owner and see how marketing decisions connect to actual business goals and sales.
Ideal Candidate
We're looking for someone who is:
Currently enrolled in college or recently graduated
Studying Marketing, Communications, Public Relations, Advertising, Digital Media, Business, or a related field
Creative and comfortable experimenting with social media
Familiar with Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok
Comfortable with Canva and/or CapCut
Interested in short-form video and content creation
Organized and able to meet deadlines
Self-motivated and willing to bring ideas to the table
Interested in small business, entrepreneurship, food, events, or lifestyle brands
You do not need to have extensive professional experience. If you have a strong eye for content and can demonstrate your skills through personal, school, or previous projects, we want to hear from you.
Hours & Schedule
Location: Canton, GA
Schedule: Flexible
Format: Primarily remote/hybrid with occasional in-person content sessions
Expected commitment: Approximately 5–10 hours per week
Internship length: 8–12 weeks, with potential for continued collaboration

How to Apply
Please submit:
Your résumé or LinkedIn profile
Your Instagram, TikTok, portfolio, or examples of content you've created
A brief response to this question:
"If you were managing social media for a local cake business, what is one thing you would do to increase engagement and attract new customers?"
We're much more interested in your creativity, initiative, and ability to create engaging content than in having a long résumé.
