Start-Up Social Media & Marketing Intern

Bulqit
Internship
On-site
Evanston, Illinois, United States

We’re an early-stage, self-funded startup in stealth mode—founded by two entrepreneurs with multiple successful exits. We’re building a SaaS platform to change how neighborhoods buy home services. It’s a giant, overlooked space, and we’re coming at it with creativity, tech, and a little attitude.

We’ve been quietly building for over a year. Now it’s time to start making noise—and that’s where you come in. We’re looking for a Social Media & Marketing Intern who wants to help shape the voice, vibe, and launch strategy of a brand from day one.

You’ll work directly with the founders on early messaging, content, and campaigns. No red tape. No branding committees. Just you, a blank canvas, and a chance to build something people actually care about.

What You’ll Do

  • Help craft and run our early social media presence (mostly IG, TikTok, LinkedIn—and maybe that weird neighborhood Facebook group).

  • Write, design, film, meme, or whatever it takes to tell our story in a way that doesn’t sound like every other startup.

  • Research our audience (homeowners + service pros) and figure out what makes them tick, click, or cringe.

  • Support early brand strategy, email marketing, and growth campaigns.

  • Help us test positioning, messaging, and early hooks—then double down on what works.

  • Bonus: If you’ve got a design eye, editing skills, or video chops, we’ll put them to use.

What You’ll Get

  • Real creative ownership from day one. No “make a Canva post and hope it gets approved” here.

  • Hands-on experience launching a brand from zero.

  • Mentorship from founders who’ve built and marketed companies before—and will teach you everything we know.

  • Access to the startup community at mHUB and Industrious Evanston, where we work and network IRL.

  • A highlight-reel project that future employers will ask you about.

What We’re Looking For

  • You love storytelling, branding, and marketing that doesn’t feel like… marketing.

  • You’ve probably made content before—whether for a brand, a club, or your own followers.

  • You’re obsessed with great copy, scroll-stopping visuals, or figuring out what makes people share stuff.

  • You’re organized, self-directed, and allergic to cringe.

  • Bonus points if you’ve played with tools like Canva, CapCut, Figma, Buffer, or email platforms.

Logistics

  • Location: In-person preferred (mHUB Chicago or Industrious Evanston), hybrid OK.

  • Compensation: Unpaid, but we’ll support school credit and build your portfolio.

  • Future Potential: Absolutely. We’ll need brand and growth muscle post-launch—this could evolve into a paid role or more.
