Join TapBlaze, the studio behind Good Pizza, Great Pizza, for a dynamic 10-week Social Media Marketing Internship in Los Angeles. Create engaging content for mobile game communities, drive growth across platforms, and develop a creative strategy to boost brand awareness and installs.
We're TapBlaze, a Los Angeles-based casual mobile game studio behind Good Pizza, Great Pizza and Good Coffee, Great Coffee. We're looking for someone special to join our team as a social media and community intern. For the right person, this can turn into a full-time role on our team.
This hands-on internship puts you on real projects from day one. The gaming industry moves quickly, and we want to set you up with the kind of experience and skills that actually prepare you for a career in it. We're not looking for someone passing through; we're looking for someone who wants to grow with us.
We're looking for someone to deepen player engagement, grow our reach, and run our communities. We value passion, creativity, and a genuine desire to grow. If you're curious whether you'd be a good culture fit, we encourage you to learn more about our team values at tapblaze.com.
What You'll Do
Create social media assets (video + static) tailored to each platform's format and audience
Write captions and marketing copy that drives clicks, installs, and engagement
Schedule posts across all platforms using tools like Sprout Social or Loomly
Study what works, what doesn't, and constantly push for better across TikTok, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, and Discord
Plan and run creative community events for our players
Host live streams of gameplay and game updates, and be the main point of contact between communities and the dev team
Develop a creative strategy backed by research and data, grounded in each game's unique community and growth potential
Stay plugged into our communities and surface trends, feedback, and ideas to the team early
Help shape our social and community marketing plan beyond the internship: which data we should listen to, what research needs to happen, what to watch for in our communities, and where you'd recommend we go next
Your First 10 Weeks
By week 10, you'll be running our social end-to-end, setting the creative strategy, producing platform-native content, writing copy that drives installs and not just likes, and publishing across all our channels. You'll have a clear read on which platforms have the most room to grow for our games, backed by real data, and an active pulse on our communities that surfaces trends, feedback, and ideas before they're obvious to the rest of the team.
Interns who perform at a high level will be considered for a full-time marketing role at the end of the internship.
