The Internship 

We have an exciting opportunity this summer for a college student or recent graduate to join us 3 days a week in our Southport, CT office (we are moving to Norwalk in July). The internship will begin on or around June 3 and run for up to 10 weeks. You’ll work closely with our Trade Marketing and Social Media teams on a variety of impactful projects.

If you’re a Marketing major—or a recent grad looking to gain real-world experience at a mission-driven company—send us your resume and include a short statement on why you are the right candidate for our internship! 

Social Media Responsibilities:

• Create and edit content for social media, emails, and videos (this may include being on camera to represent the brand in a fun, authentic way).
• Write clear, engaging copy that aligns with our brand voice and digital calendar.
• Proof and review content to ensure it’s high-quality and error-free.
• Manage community interactions by responding to messages and comments, connecting with ambassadors, and scouting new partnership opportunities.
• Support contests and giveaways by selecting winners, handling prize fulfillment, and tracking samples to stay within budget.
• Assist with reporting by pulling data, analyzing results, and sharing insights to improve future marketing efforts

Trade Marketing Responsibilities:

• Support the Trade Marketing Manager on projects that blend sales, marketing, education, and operations to drive sales, brand awareness, and product demand at the distributor and retail levels.
• Help execute email marketing campaigns, develop promotional materials, and assist with events.
• Contribute to the development of fall catalogs, training decks, educational materials, and product fact sheets.
• Assist with trade show preparation.

You Are: 

You’re a Marketing, Communications, or Media major (or recent grad) who’s creative, curious, and excited to gain hands-on experience in consumer product goods at a purpose-driven brand. You have strong writing and editing skills and are comfortable creating and scheduling content across platforms like TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Facebook. You’re not afraid to jump in front of the camera and know how to shoot, edit, and publish short-form videos that grab attention—bonus points if you already have a TikTok presence!

You’re organized, detail-oriented, and enjoy digging into data to see what’s working. You’re a team player who brings good energy, asks questions, and isn’t afraid to try something new. Excel, PowerPoint, or Photoshop skills a big plus—and, of course, a love for dogs is a must.
