Busy Mom Socials team filming content inside a local San Diego business

Join the Busy Mom Socials Team

Turn your creative skills into real agency experience.

Busy Mom Socials is looking for seasonal Content Creator Interns who already understand the basics of filming and photography and want to grow their skills inside a working San Diego marketing agency. This is a paid, hands-on opportunity to assist with real client content shoots, capture strategic photo and video assets, learn how to direct business owners, organize professional content vaults, and help create content for the Busy Mom Socials brand. Applications are open year-round.

Now reviewing applications for our Winter Content Creator Internship. Apply by October 16, 2026 for priority consideration.

Learn content creation by doing the real work.

This is not an internship where you spend the season watching from the sidelines. You will join the Busy Mom Socials team during real client content shoots throughout San Diego County. You will help capture A-roll, B-roll, smartphone photography, behind-the-scenes footage, service demonstrations, team content, and brand storytelling. You will also help Busy Mom Socials create content for our own Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, website, portfolio, recruiting, and behind-the-scenes marketing. The goal is to give you experience inside the full content-production process, from preparing a shot list to organizing the final footage.

Capture A-Roll

Film educational videos, expert conversations, client talking points, interviews, and service explanations.

Capture B-Roll

Film intentional movement, workspaces, treatments, services, behind-the-scenes moments, branding details, and client experiences.

Smartphone Photos

Capture high-quality vertical and horizontal photos of clients, services, team members, products, office spaces, events, and brand details.

Find the season that fits your schedule

Busy Mom Socials selects one paid Content Creator Intern for each seasonal cohort. Each internship offers hands-on experience supporting approximately three San Diego client content shoots per month, along with opportunities to help create content for the Busy Mom Socials brand.

A seasonal role with room to grow

This internship is seasonal, but strong performance may lead to future freelance opportunities with Busy Mom Socials. An ongoing role is not guaranteed. Interns may be considered for future paid opportunities based on reliability, professionalism, filming quality, photography quality, growth during the internship, ability to follow direction, client interaction, file organization, communication, team fit, and agency staffing needs.

A note from our founder

Busy Mom Socials grew because people gave me opportunities to learn, practice, and gain real experience. I care deeply about creating that type of opportunity for another emerging creator.

This internship is for someone who already has creative ability but wants to understand how those skills work inside a complete marketing system. You will learn how we plan shoots, direct business owners, capture content with intention, organize client footage, and turn one content day into weeks of strategic marketing.

We are looking for someone who is coachable, dependable, creative, professional, and willing to take the work seriously while still having fun with our team. The right intern will leave with stronger skills, real client experience, and a better understanding of what it takes to work in content creation and social media marketing.
