About the Internship

Based in Cape Town, the agency works with South African brands across paid media, websites, SEO and social media. The team is hands-on and focused on clear thinking, attention to detail and practical results.

This is a fully remote role where you will support the team with digital marketing tasks and operational checks, gaining real exposure to day-to-day client work. No previous agency experience is required. The role requires reliability, focus and the ability to work independently. This is a full-year internship designed to give you real responsibility and enough time to build practical, job-ready skills.

What You'll Be Doing

Digital Marketing Tasks:

• Assisting with campaign setups and checks
• Campaign monitoring
• Reviewing Facebook Inventory Campaign Feeds

You won’t be expected to know how to do all of this on day one - we’ll train you and support you as you learn.
