( become an ss intern this summer )Forget everything you think an internship looks like.
Actually, forget every internship you've ever heard of. We're not doing that.
Because the bar was on the floor and we just ~kicked it across the room~
We Don’t Train Observers.
We Build Social Media Managers.
Social Swells is a boutique social media agency in Red Bank, NJ working exclusively with service-based businesses that take their online presence seriously. Strategy first. Always. We don't post and pray.
This summer we're launching our internship program around one role: Growth Social Media Manager. You'll find clients, sign them, then manage them yourself….strategy, content direction, productions, the whole thing.
Real accounts. Real responsibility. No busy work. No corporate nonsense. Just a small team doing premium work. (And very serious about where we order lunch.)

If you've made it this far, you're already our type. Now let’s put it to the ultimate test.
One step before interviews.
This role requires you to find clients, pitch them, and manage their entire creative direction. That takes a specific kind of person. So before we schedule your interview, we're asking you to be that person right now.
Record a 60-second Loom video and pitch yourself for this program. Convince us you're the one who can walk into a room, sell Social Swells, and deliver for the clients you bring in.
The boldness you bring to this video is exactly what we're looking for in someone who will own the creative direction of their own clients. Not polished and corporate. Bold, specific, and real. Show us how you think, not just what you've done.
The people who play it safe won't stand out. The people who keep our eyes glued to the screen will.
If you've got it, show us.
To apply for the SS summer internship, fill out the form and submit your 60 second loom video.
Hint: We will NOT review an application without the video pitch and we will NOT continue watching the video if you start talking about your experience while reading off a Chat GPT script.
Don't be boring about it. Be unhinged and fun. That's literally all we ask.
