Marketing Intern, Social & Creative - Summer 2026 (Hybrid @ Bellevue, WA)

About the role

Join our brand and social team as a summer intern to bring the OfferUp marketplace to life through social-first creative, especially for Gen Z and young millennial audiences. This is not just about making TikToks; it's about understanding consumer behavior, brand growth, and market attention.

Responsibilities

• Brainstorm and develop ideas for the organic social calendar alongside our social team.
• Identify trends, formats, creators, and conversations OfferUp can authentically participate in.
• Support short-form video concepts for TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, and beyond — capturing or appearing in content depending on your comfort and fit.
• Run lightweight man-on-the-street interviews on campus or in local communities.
• Help with briefs, shot lists, content organization, and basic production coordination.
• Monitor what's resonating, and get exposure to paid creative testing, campaign operations, and performance analysis.

Requirements

• A student or recent grad interested in marketing, social, brand, creative strategy, or consumer tech.
• Deep familiarity with how people consume and share content today across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
• Strong creative instincts and the ability to explain why an idea will or won't land.
• Good judgment, clockwork reliability, and a proactive, low-ego, high-energy approach.

Bonus points

• Experience making short-form content for yourself, a club, a small business, or a brand.
• Comfort on camera.
• A real perspective on resale, thrifting, sustainability, local shopping, dorm/apartment setup, or how Gen Z finds deals.
• The ability to be the go-to person for staying up-to-date on social trends among friends.
