Marketing Intern Jobs in California

INTRODUCTION

We're TapBlaze, a Los Angeles-based casual mobile game studio behind Good Pizza, Great Pizza and Good Coffee, Great Coffee. We're looking for someone special to join our team for a 10-week social media marketing internship. This is a hands-on, fast-paced program where you'll work on real projects from day one. The gaming industry moves quickly, and we want to set you up with the kind of experience and skills that actually prepare you for it. We have established audiences across multiple platforms and are looking for someone to help us deepen that engagement, grow our reach, and turn our communities into a stronger driver of installs and brand awareness. We value passion, creativity, and a genuine desire to grow. If you're curious whether you'd be a good culture fit, we encourage you to learn more about our team values at tapblaze.com.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

What You'll Do:
- Create social media assets (video + static) tailored to each platform’s format and audience
- Write captions and marketing copy that drives clicks, installs, and engagement. Not just likes
- Schedule posts across all platforms using tools like Sprout or Loomly
- Study what works, what doesn’t, and constantly push for better across TikTok, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, and Discord
- Develop a creative strategy based on the game’s unique community and growth potential
- Stay plugged into our communities and surface trends, feedback, and ideas to the team early

The 10-Week Goal

By week 10, you'll be running our social end-to-end, setting the creative strategy, producing platform-native content, writing copy that drives installs and not just likes, and publishing across all our channels. You'll have a clear read on which platforms have the most room to grow for our games, backed by real data, and an active pulse on our communities that surfaces trends, feedback, and ideas before they're obvious to the rest of the team. The goal is to leave us with a sharper, more intentional social presence than we had when you started, and a playbook we can keep building on.
