Job description

Brew and the City Calgary & Toronto — hybrid Flexible, ongoing Paid position

Honestly? The job is to go to cafés, drink coffee and matcha, and make content about it.

The coffee’s on us, obviously.

Brew and the City is a new discovery platform helping people find independent cafés, and helping local cafés get discovered. We’re starting in Calgary and Toronto and building a community around the cafés, people and places that make a city worth exploring.

We’re looking for a creative Marketing & Social Media Intern to help us bring Brew and the City to life online. You’ll work closely with the founder to help build and promote the brand.

• Edit short-form video for Instagram Reels and TikTok in CapCut
• Design static posts, stories and graphics in Canva, on-brand and consistent
• Write the captions and copy that go out with them
• Help build the visual identity and voice of the brand — it barely exists yet
• Shoot photo and video at Calgary and Toronto cafés — the drinks, the light, the corner table
• Create promotional content for partner cafés and for launch campaigns
• Appear on camera when a piece calls for it

Community

• Manage the posting calendar — what goes up, and when
• Monitor and reply to comments and DMs across our channels
• Research Calgary and Toronto cafés, local creators and potential collaborations
• Spot trends worth using while they’re still trends

Keeping track

• Track what performs, and say plainly what’s working and what isn’t
• Keep content, assets and the calendar organized and current
• Bring your own ideas — you’ll have real creative ownership here

Qualifications

You don’t need years of marketing experience. We’re looking for someone creative, curious and excited to build something from the ground up.

Logistics

• Based in Calgary or Toronto
• A flexible schedule — we work around school and whatever else you have on
• Able to get around your city for shoots at cafés

Mindset and work style

• A self-starter who can take an idea and run with it without being told how
• Resourceful — you look things up before you ask
• Comfortable pre-launch, where the plan changes and not everything is decided yet
• Open to feedback and quick to apply it
• Willing to post something that might not work, and to say so when it doesn’t

Skills and tools

• Editing short-form video in CapCut into something genuinely social-ready
• Designing in Canva to a consistent, on-brand look
• Instagram and TikTok as a maker, not just a viewer
• Writing captions that sound like a person wrote them
• Comfortable appearing on camera, at least somewhat
• A real grasp of what’s working on social right now, and why

Commitment and pay. This is a paid, flexible position designed to work alongside school or other commitments. We’re happy to work around your class schedule and availability, and there’s no fixed end date. You’ll need to be in Calgary or Toronto, since some of the work happens at cafés, but most of it is remote.
