Social Media & Marketing Intern — Big Shiny Balls

Remote · Part-Time (10–25 hrs/week, with potential for Full-Time) · Internship

About Big Shiny Balls

Big Shiny Balls creates giant inflatable art, oversized spheres and themed inflatables in shiny, matte, glossy, iridescent and hairy finishes, ranging from 20 inches to 10 feet. Our pieces have shown up in Taylor Swift's touring production, SpaceX and Disney activations, Nike campaigns, and venues like The Met and Four Seasons properties. We build statement décor for event planners, brands and people who want a room to stop conversation the moment they walk in, and we're looking for someone who wants to help tell that story online.

The Role

We're looking for a Social Media & Marketing Intern to support our day-to-day content and paid marketing efforts across every major platform. This is a hands-on, remote role for someone who wants real experience running social for a growing consumer brand, not just shadowing one. You'll work closely with our e-commerce and marketing team on everything from daily posts to ad campaigns.

What You'll Do

• Create and schedule content across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest, including photo, video/Reel, and Story formats
• Support paid campaigns on Meta Ads and Google Ads, from asset prep to basic performance tracking
• Help plan and execute a consistent posting calendar tied to product launches, seasonal drops, and brand campaigns
• Monitor trends, sounds, and formats relevant to home décor, events, fashion, and lifestyle content, and pitch ideas based on what's working
• Engage with our community: replying to comments and DMs, tracking mentions and tags, and flagging notable customer or influencer content
• Assist with remote-friendly content planning (coordinating shoots, sourcing assets, basic editing)
• Pull together simple performance recaps (reach, engagement, follower growth, top posts) to help guide what we do next

What We're Looking For

• Currently enrolled in college or a recent graduate
• Coursework, internship experience, or personal projects in marketing, e-commerce, fashion, art, or media
• Genuine fluency in Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Pinterest as a user and ideally as a creator or manager of content
• Some exposure to Meta Ads and/or Google Ads is a plus, but not required if you're eager to learn
• Comfortable with content and scheduling tools (Canva, CapCut, Adobe, Later, Hootsuite, or similar); we can teach tool-specific workflows
• A strong eye for visual brand consistency and a sense of humor that fits a playful, bold brand
• Reliable, organized, and able to commit to 10–25 hours a week consistently, with room to grow toward full-time
• Comfortable working independently in a remote, async-friendly environment

Logistics

• Location: Remote
• Hours: Part-time, 10–25 hours/week to start, with the possibility of increasing to full-time based on fit and performance
• Compensation: Potential for paid compensation, to be discussed with candidates directly; there is also potential for this to grow into a longer-term position with the company
• College credit: We're open to exploring credit arrangements for students who need them and will confirm eligibility on a case-by-case basis
