Marketing & Social Media Intern

Brew and the City Calgary & Toronto — hybrid Flexible, ongoing Paid position

Honestly? The job is to go to cafés, drink coffee and matcha, and make content about it.

The coffee’s on us, obviously.

Brew and the City is a new discovery platform helping people find independent cafés, and helping local cafés get discovered. We’re starting in Calgary and Toronto and building a community around the cafés, people and places that make a city worth exploring.

We’re looking for a creative Marketing & Social Media Intern to help us bring Brew and the City to life online. You’ll work closely with the founder to help build and promote the brand.
