Social Media Marketing Intern

Social Media & Growth Intern - Fuego and Friends

Fuego and Friends is a bilingual children’s entertainment brand combining original music, memorable characters, and a learning app that makes learning languages fun. We’ve built the songs, characters, and creative vision. Now we’re looking for a highly creative, self-starting person to help spread Fuego and Friends to families everywhere.

This is an early-stage opportunity with real ownership across content, audience growth, and creator collaborations. You’ll help shape how the brand shows up online. 

While this role is currently unpaid, we want meaningful results to be recognized. We’ll offer performance-based compensation for agreed-upon milestones, such as creating a breakout video, reaching defined view or engagement targets, or helping the brand achieve significant audience growth. Milestones and bonus amounts will be discussed clearly in advance.

As Fuego grows, there’s also real potential for this to develop into a paid role for the person who helps build it from the ground up.
