Instagram Intern: Real Content. Real Potential. Résumé Gold.

Instagram Intern – Own It. Grow It. Make It Matter. Have Fun Doing It!

What if your next IG post helped a global brand that matters grow?

Want to own and grow the Instagram presence of a rising brand already in Nordstrom, the specialty toy market, and schools across the country?

TA-DA! Language Productions is looking for a passionate, creative, and hardworking Instagram Intern to take full ownership of our Instagram. This is not a fluff internship—you’ll be leading content strategy, testing, growth, and engagement for a brand gaining national buzz and industry awards.

We create award-winning, screen-free talking books that teach kids language, music, and culture. We’re backed by advisors from Disney, HOMER/codeSpark, and Melissa Bernstein (Melissa & Doug). Our music is directed by a 19-time Grammy-winning producer, and it's about to be announced we've just been named a finalist for Educational Toy of the Year.
 

You’ll work directly with our founder and have access to an incredible vault of content: professional brand photography, classroom videos, testimonials, preorder campaign footage, and a custom brand sound logo crafted by one of the most respected names in music production.

🚀 Why This Internship Is Different

This is your chance to:

• Spend one hour or less a day doing something that actually matters
• Build a brand that’s committed to making kids kinder, wiser, and more connected
• Work with a company that gives to underserved schools, orphanages, and community partners
• Help a startup on the cusp of scale hit its next milestone

We’ve just onboarded with Nordstrom and are about to go live on Sharper Image, with a possible Q4 catalog placement reaching 23 million households. We’ve signed on with both national specialty toy and national education reps, and our founder (a solo woman/mama founder) is leading the day-to-day alongside an award-winning creative team.

But we need you to help us get over the hump.

We’re not offering coffee runs or busywork. This is real, no-nonsense brand building. Your daily Instagram post can fuel preorder campaigns, raise awareness, and connect with families and educators worldwide. You’ll support storytelling, help boost visibility, and get credit for every part of it.
 

🌟 What You’ll Get

• A portfolio that shows real brand impact—not just class projects
• Direct mentorship and creative freedom with a playground of potential!
• Resume power: “Led Instagram strategy for an award-winning language learning brand now featured in Nordstrom, Sharper Image, and schools nationwide." Built following from 2k to…in just 2 months…"
• Flexible remote hours
• Academic credit (if needed)
• Possibility for paid role after initial 60 days
 

💡 What You’ll Do

• Post daily or near-daily on Instagram
• Shape and evolve our visual voice and story
• Test what works: Reels, carousels, polls, Q&As, behind-the-scenes, preorder countdowns
• Repurpose founder blogs + brand storytelling into social bites
• Help grow our community and connect product to purpose
• Collaborate briefly with the founder every 1–2 days (or more if helpful)—you’ll have support, not micromanagement
• Be part of something joyful, important, and genuinely mission-driven

 

✅ Requirements

• Live and breathe Instagram, LOVE Instagram and know its features inside and out
