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

Got Ideas? Go Do Them.

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 own a startup brand end-to-end, drive a national retail launch, and run marketing for a global gaming client simultaneously. From day one.

Learn how the biggest brands in the world create the stories and moments that reach millions. Hint: it starts here.

Section: The work

What you'll actually do

• Own a startup brand. Their marketing, their strategy, their growth. End-to-end.
• Drive a national retail launch, including concept, execute, measure
• Run marketing and content for a global gaming brand
• Pitch ideas in the room and defend them
• Build things, ship things, repeat
• Work across creative, production, and strategy teams

You're right for this if

• You have opinions about brands and you can back them up
• You've made something and put it into the world
• You move fast and figure it out instead of waiting to be told
• You're obsessed with what works and why
• Owning something from zero sounds exciting, not scary
• You don't need hand-holding

Bonus if you have

• Experience running social or marketing for any brand or page
• Understanding of paid media, organic strategy, or analytics
• A portfolio of work — academic, personal, freelance, anything real
• Comfort with Canva, Figma, or Adobe tools
• Experience pitching ideas to a room

What you'll gain

• Real portfolio work on global brands — not mock projects
• Direct access to how world-class campaigns get 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

Requirements: In-person · Charlotte, NC · Valid driver's license + reliable car · Available full time · No hand-holding
