Marketing and Events Associate Intern

About WeaponUp

WeaponUp is a fast-growing, female-led movement brand redefining fitness through its signature sword yoga fusion practice. Rooted in strength, grace, discipline, and beauty, WeaponUp brings together the kung fu straight sword and yoga-inspired movement to create a training experience that is both visually striking and deeply transformative.

With a rapidly growing global audience and a highly engaged community of women, WeaponUp is expanding beyond digital content into live events, physical products, brand experiences, social storytelling, and a broader consumer ecosystem. As the company grows, we are looking for a highly capable Marketing and Events Associate Intern to support the brand across experiential marketing, event execution, campaigns, and social media.

This is more than an internship. It is an opportunity to step inside a growing brand and help bring WeaponUp to life across both digital and physical touchpoints. The right person will support the team in creating compelling experiences, helping execute campaigns, and ensuring that events and marketing initiatives are carried out with care, polish, and strong attention to detail.

This role is ideal for someone who is highly organized, creative, proactive, and excited by the pace of a growing female-led brand. It offers meaningful hands-on exposure across marketing, events, operations, and brand-building, with the potential to grow into a longer-term associate role within the company.

Position Overview

The Marketing and Events Associate Intern will support WeaponUp across marketing coordination, event logistics, experiential activations, campaign execution, social media support, and general brand-building initiatives. This person will work closely with the Founder and Creative Director to help bring live experiences and marketing efforts to life in a way that feels elevated, on-brand, and well executed.

This is a full-time, three-month internship beginning in April. The role is designed for someone who wants real operating experience inside a fast-moving company and is eager to contribute across multiple areas of the business. The right candidate will be dependable, detail-oriented, resourceful, and excited to help support both the visible and behind-the-scenes work required to grow a premium consumer brand.

We are looking for someone who is equally comfortable helping coordinate event logistics, supporting campaign rollouts, organizing moving pieces, writing copy, assisting with social media, and helping ensure the team stays on track. This role is best suited to someone who enjoys variety, thrives in a startup-style environment, and wants to grow into a broader marketing and brand role over time.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the planning, coordination, and execution of WeaponUp live events, community gatherings, pop-ups, and experiential activations
• Assist with event logistics, including schedules, materials, vendor coordination, attendee communication, setup needs, and on-site support

• Assist with campaign coordination across launches, promotions, partnerships, community initiatives, and special projects
• Support social media content planning and day-to-day execution, including drafting captions, organizing content, scheduling posts, and helping maintain consistency across platforms
• Help organize content from events, activations, shoots, and campaigns for use across social media, email, and marketing channels
• Assist with community-facing marketing efforts, including newsletters, announcements, event promotion, and audience engagement support
• Support influencer, partner, or collaborator outreach and follow-up as needed
• Help with light copywriting for marketing materials, social captions, event descriptions, promotional messaging, and campaign assets
• Assist with administrative and organizational tasks related to marketing and events to help the team operate efficiently
• Track deliverables, deadlines, and campaign needs to ensure projects stay organized and on schedule
• Contribute ideas for marketing activations, social storytelling, campaign themes, and community engagement opportunities
• Represent the WeaponUp brand professionally, thoughtfully, and enthusiastically in both internal and external settings

Qualifications

• 1–2 years of relevant experience through internships, freelance work, part-time roles, campus leadership, or early-career experience in marketing, events, communications, social media, brand partnerships, or related fields
• Strong interest in marketing, experiential events, brand-building, and social media
• Excellent organizational skills with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple moving pieces at once
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities and a high level of collaboration
• Proactive, dependable, and willing to take initiative on both creative and administrative tasks
• Strong sense of aesthetics and interest in premium branding, consumer experience, and visual presentation
• Familiarity with social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube Shorts, and X
• Ability to assist with event logistics and, when needed, be physically present for setup, execution, and breakdown support
• Interest in women’s empowerment, wellness, movement, community-building, or female-led brands is strongly preferred
• A positive attitude, strong work ethic, and eagerness to learn are essential

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting live events, pop-ups, community activations, or brand experiences
• Experience assisting with social media management, campaign coordination, or content production
• Comfort being in a startup or early-growth environment where flexibility and initiative are valued
• A strong eye for brand voice, presentation, and storytelling
• Interest in growing into a longer-term associate role in marketing, brand, community, or events

Why This Role Is Special

WeaponUp is not simply building content. We are building a brand, a practice, and a world that women want to step into. Events, campaigns, and community experiences are a meaningful part of how that world comes alive.

This role offers the opportunity to be closely involved in that process. The right person will gain real experience inside a fast-growing company, work directly on visible brand initiatives, and contribute to the next chapter of WeaponUp’s expansion. For the right candidate, this internship may lead into an associate position within the company at the end of the three-month term.
