Marketing & Media Intern

and the job listing Expires on June 21, 2026

Spice Witch is a small-batch specialty food brand in Asheville, NC, making bold chili crisps, chili oils, infused honeys, and spice blends. We’re looking for a creative, curious Marketing & Media Intern to help tell our story across social media, email, and content. You’ll work directly with the founder — a commercial photographer with ~15 years of brand experience — for genuine mentorship and a behind-the-scenes look at how a modern food brand is built.

This is a learning-first role: we want you to leave with real skills, a portfolio of published work, and a feel for what it takes to grow a brand.

Responsibilities (a flexible mix based on your interests and goals):

• Create and schedule social media content, including Instagram posts and Reels
• Draft and edit marketing copy — captions, newsletters, product descriptions, blog posts
• Assist with photo and video shoots: styling, behind-the-scenes content, organizing assets
• Brainstorm campaign ideas and help track what’s working
• Get exposure to the wider business: wholesale, local markets, retail, and brand strategy

What we’re looking for:

• Interest in marketing, media, communications, content creation, or food/brand storytelling
• Strong writing skills and an eye for visual content
• Creativity, initiative, and a willingness to learn
• Comfort with (or curiosity about) Instagram, Canva, and email tools — no expertise required, we’ll teach you

What you’ll gain:

• Direct mentorship from a founder with deep commercial photography and brand experience
• Hands-on experience across social, email, content, and brand strategy
• A portfolio of real published work
• An inside look at running and growing a small food business

Logistics:

• ~150 hours over the semester (or summer), with a flexible schedule we’ll set together
• Based in Asheville, NC (some remote work possible)
• Stipend offered
• One dedicated supervisor (the founder) with regular check-ins and feedback
