You’ll work with our Content Team Lead to help run The Game Room Club’s multi-channel content engine. That means capturing and editing short-form video, supporting podcast production (prep, recording logistics, and clip creation), drafting newsletters and customer-facing marketing copy, and helping track performance so we keep improving. This is a hands-on role with real deliverables each week—and you’ll finish with a strong portfolio across video, podcast assets, newsletter issues, and marketing content for a mission-driven brand in education, gaming, and community.

Marketing & Content Intern (Video, Podcast, Newsletter) — The Game Room Club

Pay: $19/hour
Hours: 20–25 hours/week
Term: 12–16 weeks (summer or semester; extension possible)

Why this internship is different
This is not a “watch and learn” internship. You’ll help run a real content engine across multiple formats—video, podcast, newsletter, and customer-facing copy—for a brand at the intersection of education, entertainment, nerd culture, and community.
You’ll leave with a portfolio that includes:
- Short-form video (Reels/TikTok/Shorts)
- Long-form video (YouTube/Twitch)
- Podcast clips + episode assets
- Newsletter issues (and the strategy behind them)
- Marketing copy you can show (captions, promos, landing copy, etc.)
About The Game Room Club
The Game Room Club builds safe, high-energy “third space” experiences where youth and families connect through gaming, creativity, and community. Through our Learn & Play K–12 STEAM labs, community pop-ups, and trainings, we’re advancing nerd culture and proving that learning can be fun, social, and meaningful.
What you’ll do (multi-channel, real deliverables)
Video + Social
- Capture and edit short-form content (hooks, pacing, captions)
- Publish/schedule posts and support a weekly content calendar
- Help repurpose one recording/event into multiple posts
Podcast Production
- Support recording sessions (setup, run-of-show, basic audio hygiene)
- Help with episode prep (topics, outlines, guest research, questions)
- Clip episodes into short social highlights + write titles/descriptions
Newsletter + Marketing Communications
- Draft and format newsletters (updates, stories, offers, calls-to-action)
- Write customer-facing copy: captions, short promos, simple landing copy, email updates
- Maintain basic brand voice consistency across channels
Light Analytics + Optimization
- Track weekly performance (views, clicks, opens, engagement)
- Share 1–2 recommendations weekly on what to double down on
What success looks like (first 4–6 weeks)
- 3–5 short videos/week OR an equivalent output mix (video + newsletter + podcast clips)
- Support 1 podcast episode cycle (prep → record → clips → publish assets)
- Contribute to 1 newsletter issue every 1–2 weeks
- Clean workflow: organized files, reliable deadlines, minimal rework
Who you are
You’re a fit if you:
- Are a nerd and/or gamer
- Can write clearly (you don’t need to be a novelist—just sharp, clean, compelling)
- Have good content instincts (what’s interesting, what’s skippable)
- Are coachable, organized, and consistent
- Understand professionalism (especially because we serve youth and schools)
- Are comfortable being on camera or willing to get there (helpful, not required)
Tools (you don’t need all of these, but you should be willing to learn)
CapCut or Premiere, Canva, Google Drive, Instagram/TikTok/YouTube, basic audio tools (Riverside/Zoom), and/or email platforms (Mailchimp/HubSpot—nice to have)
Bonus points

- You can do basic photo editing and simple graphics
