Section: How to apply

We Don't Read Cover Letters.

We look at work. Send us four things. Skip any of them, and you won't hear back.

001: Which role and why LBF One paragraph. No fluff. Why this studio, why now, why you.

002: Something you've made: a link, a page, a reel, a website. Anything real. Academic projects count if they're good.

003: Answer this brief. Pick a brand doing social wrong. Tell us what's broken and what you'd fix. One page max.

004: A 2-minute video or Loom. Camera on. Show us who you are, something you made, why Charlotte — not NYC, not LA right now.

Section: About this role

Can You Speak Meme Fluently?

Let's Be Friends is a creative studio operating out of Charlotte, Los Angeles, and New York City. We make physical products, visceral experiences, and world-class digital content for brands that actually matter.

We're 20 people doing the work most agencies need 100 for. Everyone touches the work. 

This isn't a watch-and-learn internship. You'll audit brands, post for a startup CPG page, launch a full strategy for a global gaming brand, and chase trends before they peak. From day one.

See exactly how the biggest brands in the world show up online. Then help make it happen.

Section: The work

What you'll actually do

• Audit social accounts and provide direct improvement to their strategy
• Post and manage a startup CPG brand's social presence
• Build and launch a full strategy for a global gaming brand
• Create memes, harness trends, move within hours, not days
• Track KPIs and report what's working and what's dead
• See strategy through from the deck to the live post
  
  

You're right for this if

• You're already studying what goes viral and why
• You can write a caption that sounds human, not corporate
• You know a dead trend from a live one in 30 seconds
• You've run or grown a page — personal, brand, anything
• Meme fluency is non-negotiable. Yes, seriously.
• You can make a sharp graphic in Canva or CapCut without a tutorial
  
  

Bonus if you have

• Experience running or growing a social account with real numbers
• Familiarity with Later, Notion, or scheduling tools
• Basic design skills in Canva, Figma, or Adobe
• Experience with analytics and reporting
• Any experience in a fast-moving content environment
  
  

What you'll gain

• Real portfolio work on global brands — not mock projects
• Direct access to how world-class social strategy gets made
• The speed of learning you won't find anywhere else at this stage
• $15/hr from day one
• A path to a full-time role if you're exceptional
