About BERO

BERO is a premium non-alcoholic beer company creating exceptional beer for people who want more choice in how they drink and live. We are a fast-growing, predominantly remote startup with an ambitious team building a distinctive global brand.

The opportunity

BERO is looking for a creative, digitally savvy Social Media and Affiliate Marketing Intern to support our growing social presence and affiliate community. This is a hands-on opportunity for a New York City-based student interested in social media, creator partnerships, affiliate marketing, brand building, and startup life. You'll work closely with BERO's marketing team to identify cultural opportunities, develop engaging content, build relationships with creators and affiliates, and learn how a young consumer brand grows its community online.

We're looking for someone who understands how people actually use social media, not just how brands think they use it. You should be curious about internet culture, comfortable identifying emerging creators and trends, and excited to bring fresh ideas to the table.

What you'll do: social media

• Assist with planning and maintaining BERO's social media calendar, while contributing content ideas across relevant platforms.
• Develop ideas for social-first content and have the opportunity to create and edit content, particularly for TikTok.
• Draft social copy and help create, edit, and organize short-form content.
• Monitor cultural conversations, platform trends, and competitor activity, and provide a monthly social trend report to the internal marketing team.
• Engage thoughtfully with BERO's online community and assist with community management through our social media management platform, responding to comments, DMs, and inbound requests as needed.
• Identify timely opportunities for BERO to participate in relevant conversations, including emerging trends, cultural moments, events, and other opportunities for the brand to show up.
• Help organize and maintain BERO's library of social content and creative assets by downloading and organizing incoming content and improving the structure and accuracy of our digital asset library.
• Support the Social Media team in tracking content performance and share observations with the broader marketing team about what is resonating and where we can improve.

In addition, you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of a long-term project that addresses an ongoing team need, scoped based on the team's priorities and your interests and strengths.

What you'll do: affiliate and creator marketing

• Research creators, influencers, affiliates, and potential brand partners who align with BERO's brand and audience.
• Support outreach, onboarding, and ongoing communication with affiliate partners.
• Help maintain affiliate contact lists, product-seeding records, and campaign trackers using affiliate-specific platforms and other internal tools as needed.
• Monitor affiliate activity and identify opportunities to strengthen participation and engagement.
• Assist with developing briefs, toolkits, and content ideas for creators and affiliates.
• Track affiliate content, engagement, traffic, and sales performance.
• Share ideas for expanding BERO's presence within relevant creator and consumer communities.

What we're looking for

• Currently enrolled in college, ideally studying marketing, communications, media, business, journalism, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and emerging social platforms.
• Genuine interest in social media, digital culture, creators, and consumer brands.
• Strong writing and communication skills.
• Available to work 2 days per week in BERO's Soho office.
• Creative instincts and an eye for engaging, culturally relevant content.
• Organized, reliable, and comfortable managing several projects at once.
• Willingness to take initiative, ask questions, and work collaboratively.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Interest in the non-alcoholic beverage, wellness, hospitality, or lifestyle space is a plus.
• Experience with Canva, CapCut, social scheduling platforms, affiliate tools, or analytics is helpful but not required.

What you'll gain

• Hands-on experience building the social and affiliate presence of a growing consumer brand.
• Exposure to creator partnerships, content strategy, community engagement, and campaign analytics.
• Experience working with affiliate marketing tools and programs.
• An understanding of how marketing decisions are made inside an early-stage company.
• Opportunities to contribute ideas and take ownership of meaningful projects.
• Mentorship and collaboration with experienced members of BERO's marketing team.
• Portfolio-ready work and measurable campaign experience.

How to apply

Submit your resume and a brief note explaining why you're interested in BERO and this internship (you may also include links to relevant social accounts, content, writing, campaigns, or creative work), plus answer ONE of the following prompts:

• Option 1 — Creator Pick: Identify 3 creators you think BERO should consider working with. For each, briefly share who they are, why they're a good fit for BERO, and how you'd envision BERO working with them.
• Option 2 — Social Opportunity: Identify one current social trend, cultural moment, or creator conversation BERO could authentically participate in. Briefly explain why it's relevant to BERO and what you'd have the brand do or post.

Keep your response brief. Formal marketing experience is not required. BERO is committed to creating an inclusive workplace and welcomes applicants of all backgrounds and experiences.
