Content Marketing Intern

If you're a junior or senior studying marketing, communications, journalism, film, or any creative field, you've watched the entry-level marketing job market collapse. AI is generating images, writing copy, and producing video. Agencies are shrinking. The standard marketing internship pipeline is some mix of social media management for brands nobody trusts and ad copy for products nobody cares about.

We're offering something different.

You'll come in as a Content Marketing Intern at BizDepot, working directly with our Chief Acquisition Officer and our existing creative team to make content that drives real revenue. We're a national M&A and business brokerage firm doing seven, eight, and nine-figure transactions. Your content doesn't sell yoga pants or gym memberships. It attracts business owners selling companies worth millions, and acquirers buying them. This is a fundamentally different game.

About the role

You'll join our marketing effort as a part-time Content Marketing Intern, working alongside our existing creative team and reporting to the Chief Acquisition Officer. This is a real seat in our marketing operation, not a learning-only role.

What you'll do

• Write blog posts, articles, and long-form educational content for sellers, buyers, and acquisition entrepreneurs
• Produce short-form video content for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and LinkedIn
• Write ad scripts, ad copy, email sequences, and lead magnet content across paid and organic channels
• Help create ad creatives across formats (writing, filming concepts, copy)
• Help launch and optimize growth campaigns for our AI SaaS tools
• Test, measure, and iterate on what's actually winning
• Sit in on real M&A calls so your content reflects what business owners actually care about

What you'll learn

• How to write blog posts, articles, and ad scripts that convert at high stakes
• How to build ad creatives that perform on TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and LinkedIn
• B2B copywriting for an audience making real seven and eight-figure decisions
• Growth marketing mechanics: funnels, lead magnets, campaigns, and conversion
• How social algorithms actually move audience, from people testing them daily
• How to use AI to produce sharper, faster, more original creative work
• The M&A vocabulary, buyer psychology, and seller psychology that make content actually land
• How attribution actually works: which content wins which deals

Why this beats a regular marketing internship

Most marketing internships have you making content for products that don't matter much. A pair of yoga pants. A meal-kit subscription. A direct-to-consumer SaaS tool. Useful experience, fine for a resume.

At BizDepot, the seller and buyer mandates we win are seven, eight, and nine figures. Your content directly helps win those mandates. The craft, the rigor, the audience empathy, the stakes, all of it is elevated. Two years making content that attracts seven-figure transactions builds a fundamentally different skill stack than two years making content that attracts impulse purchases. The expertise compounds in your favor in ways generic agency or DTC work never could.

How you'll earn

Stipend during the Academy phase, plus commission on deals attributable to content you create. We track which content brings in which sellers and buyers, and you share in the wins.

This is one of the few content roles anywhere where your creative work has a direct line to revenue and you participate in the upside. Most marketing roles never let you see your impact, let alone get paid for it. Here every deal traced back to a piece of content you made puts money in your pocket.

As you grow, the role expands. You'll move into a Content Marketing Associate seat, then into leadership in our marketing function. Comp evolves with you: stipend plus deal commission during the intern phase, salary plus commission and bonus as you grow, with equity participation as you climb into senior seats.

Why we're building this

The M&A industry has almost no brand presence. Most senior advisors in the field came up before social media existed. We're building BizDepot into the most modern brand in M&A and business brokerage, the firm that teaches the market, owns the audience, and runs an inbound demand engine that competes with anything in financial services. We need young creators with algorithmic instinct, a body of work, and the hunger to do something that matters at real stakes. If you want to invent something instead of iterating on someone else's brand book, this is the role.

Who we want

Most great content and marketing leaders we admire are young. This is a young person's field. We want:

• A junior or senior in marketing, communications, journalism, film, creative writing, or any creative or related field
• A portfolio, body of work, or examples of stuff you've actually shipped
• Algorithmic instinct: you naturally analyze why content works, you can't help it
• Taste. Anyone can ship content. The people who climb fastest have the instinct for what actually lands
• Hunger to work on stakes that matter, not consumer fluff

The deal

• Part-time, 12 to 15 hours per week, fully remote (U.S.-based)
• $1,200 Monthly stipend during the Academy phase, plus commission on deals attributable to content you create
• A full-time role with salary, commission, and equity participation waiting after graduation if you perform
• Direct mentorship from our Chief Acquisition Officer and the existing creative team
• A real audience and a real channel to build, on stakes most marketers never see
