Growth Marketing Internship
Are you looking for an internship that actually teaches you how modern startup marketing works? Want hands-on experience in SEO, GEO, ASO, social media, influencer outreach, PR, content marketing, and growth strategy while working directly with experienced startup marketers?
This internship is offered by GrowthExpertz, a startup marketing agency that has helped hundreds of startups launch, grow, raise funding, and scale. You'll work directly with GrowthExpertz founder Andrew Lee Miller, a 20+ year startup marketing veteran who has helped drive multiple startup exits and advised companies ranging from early-stage to venture-backed startups.
Rather than working on hypothetical projects, you'll gain hands-on experience helping build a real startup's marketing engine, and its App Store presence, from day one.
The Internship
This is an unpaid, 3-month remote internship with a target start date of 09/24/2026. The internship includes extensive hands-on training from our CMO, Andrew Lee Miller, a 20+ year startup marketing expert based in San Francisco. linkedin.com/in/andrewstartups
We're looking for people who want to work hard, take ownership, and get things done. Upon successful completion of the internship there most likely will be a full-time job offer after.
What You'll Work On

Influencer & Partnership Outreach
- Researching and building lists of travel content creators, business/productivity accounts, and professional networking or entrepreneurship voices
- Drafting outreach messages and tracking responses
PR
- Building targeted journalist and podcast lists across travel media, business/entrepreneurship press, and startup coverage
- Drafting PR pitches and HARO/Qwoted-style responses
- Supporting outreach to relevant podcasts
Analytics & Reporting
