About Seent

Seent is a very early-stage startup building a social platform for live music lovers. Think Goodreads or Letterboxd—but for concerts. Users track the shows they’ve been to and the ones they’re going to, discover new artists and venues, and share their concert history with friends.

We’re a small, founder-led team building from the ground up, and we care deeply about live music and community.

About the Internship

This is an educational internship designed for students who want hands-on exposure to brand building, content creation, and social media strategy at an early-stage startup.

You’ll learn how a consumer social product thinks about marketing from day one—through guided projects, mentorship, and experimentation. This role is not employment and is structured to support academic learning and professional development.

What You’ll Learn & Work On (with guidance)

Content ideation & storytelling: Learn how to brainstorm and plan social content that reflects a brand’s voice and resonates with a music-loving audience.

Social media execution (training-based): Create and edit short-form content for platforms like TikTok and Instagram under mentorship and feedback.

Brand building: Explore how early-stage startups develop a brand identity and experiment with tone, visuals, and narrative.

Social media strategy basics: Learn how posting cadence, hooks, trends, and formats affect engagement.

Creative experimentation: Test content ideas, reflect on what worked, and iterate—without pressure tied to performance metrics.
