Brand & Social Strategy Intern

Overview

Telegraph is seeking a Brand & Social Strategy Intern to support the intersection of brand strategy, content strategy and social execution.

This is not a traditional internship. You’ll be embedded in real client work, helping shape how brands are positioned, expressed, and experienced across channels.

We’re looking for someone who is curious, proactive and detail-oriented, with a desire to understand not just what gets made, but why it works.

This in-office position is located in Birmingham, AL.

• A proactive mindset – takes initiative and flags issues early
• Well-versed in trends and policies across platforms, such as LinkedIn, Meta, YouTube and X

What Sets This Role Apart

• Direct exposure to real client strategy and decision-making
• Hands-on experience across brand strategy, content strategy and social execution
• Opportunity to contribute ideas, not just complete tasks
• Mentorship from senior leaders across brand, social and content strategy
  

Who This Is For

• Someone who wants more than an internship.
• Someone who wants to learn how brands are actually built – from insight to execution.
• Someone who is ready to contribute, not just observe.
