About the opportunity
I am looking for a creative and motivated Marketing & Social Media Intern to work across my two independent fashion brands, KAFI FOLK and FLOR.
This is an opportunity to gain genuine, hands-on experience and build a strong portfolio across fashion marketing, brand building, social media, creative direction, content creation and influencer marketing.
You will work closely with me as the founder and have the opportunity to contribute ideas and take ownership of projects, rather than simply observing or assisting.
About the brands
KAFI FOLK is a feminine, bohemian fashion brand centred around craft textiles, traditional artisan techniques and ethical production. We work with crafts including embroidery, weaving, natural dyeing and block printing, creating clothing that celebrates craftsmanship and the people behind it.
FLOR is our newly launched sister brand - feminine, romantic, playful and girlie, created for women who love to dress beautifully and wear what makes them bloom.
While the two brands have distinct personalities, both are built around thoughtful design, ethical production and a strong visual identity.
The role
You will help develop and manage the social media presence and marketing activity of both brands, including:
- Developing creative content ideas and concepts for both brands
- Helping shape each brand's visual identity, storytelling and voice
- Planning and managing content and posting schedules
- Coordinating content creation, UGC and creative shoots
- Researching and liaising with influencers and content creators
- Identifying potential collaborations and new opportunities
- Monitoring relevant fashion, social media and content trends
- Working directly with the founder on the ongoing development of both brands
- About you
You may be a strong fit for this opportunity if you:
- Have a genuine interest in fashion, branding and social media
- Have a strong visual eye and an interest in creative storytelling
- Are creative, proactive and comfortable bringing your own ideas
- Are interested in influencer and content creator marketing
- Have good organisational and communication skills
- Are interested in ethical fashion, craftsmanship and independent brands
- Want to gain practical experience and build a portfolio within the fashion industry
Previous experience in social media, content creation, fashion marketing or influencer marketing is welcome but not essential. What matters most is your creativity, initiative and genuine interest in the brands.
What you will gain
This internship is designed to provide meaningful, practical experience across several areas of fashion marketing.
Beyond Social Media
This internship is also an opportunity to gain a behind-the-scenes understanding of what goes into building an independent fashion brand. You will learn about the creative and business decisions that shape a collection - from the importance of raw materials, fabric sourcing and traditional craft techniques to the process of working with artisan communities and bringing their work into a modern fashion brand.
You will also help us tell the stories behind the clothing: the artisans, techniques, materials and communities that make each piece special. Learning how to communicate these stories authentically and thoughtfully will be an important part of the role.
The aim is for you to leave the internship with not only practical experience in fashion marketing and social media, but also a deeper understanding of craft-led fashion, ethical production, storytelling and what it takes to build an independent fashion brand from the ground up.
You will have the opportunity to:
- Build real work for your portfolio
- Gain experience managing social media for two fashion brands
- Learn about brand strategy and storytelling
- Develop experience working with influencers and content creators
- Gain insight into the day-to-day marketing and creative decisions behind independent fashion brands
- Work directly with the founder and have your ideas implemented in real campaigns
This is an initial 3-month part time unpaid internship.
The intention is to find someone who can grow with the brands. If the internship is successful and we are a good fit, there is the opportunity for the role to develop into a paid, ongoing position after the initial three months.
How to apply
Please apply through LinkedIn with a short introduction about yourself, why this opportunity interests you and, if available, a link to your portfolio, Instagram or examples of previous creative or social media work.
