About Better Days

Better Days is a boutique creative and social media marketing agency specializing in hospitality, lifestyle, and experience-driven brands. Founded by a husband-and-wife team, we combine professional photography, creative content, and thoughtful social media strategy to help brands show up beautifully (and effectively) online. We work with hotels, restaurants, and lifestyle brands to create content that makes people stop scrolling, start dreaming, and ultimately take action. We're a small, hands-on team that moves quickly, thinks creatively, and believes great content should do more than just look good.

About the Role

We're looking for a creative, detail-oriented Social Media Intern to join our growing team! You'll primarily be working with existing professional photography and video footage, transforming those assets into engaging, on-brand social media content for our clients. From editing Reels and designing carousels to writing captions and scheduling posts, you'll help bring our clients' social media strategies to life. This is a great opportunity for someone who loves social media, has an eye for design, and wants hands-on experience working with hospitality and lifestyle brands.

What You'll Do

  • Create Social Content: Turn existing photo and video assets into engaging Instagram Reels, carousels, Stories, and static posts.

  • Edit Photo & Video: Edit short-form video and photography to create polished, on-brand content.

  • Write Captions: Develop creative, engaging captions that reflect each client's unique brand voice.

  • Schedule Content: Upload, organize, and schedule approved content using our social media scheduling platforms.

  • Capture Content: Occasionally join us on-site at client properties throughout DFW to capture iPhone photo and video content.

  • Stay on Trend: Keep an eye on emerging social media trends, creative formats, and fresh content ideas.

  • Support the Team: Help keep content calendars organized and ensure deliverables are completed accurately and on time.

What We're Looking For

  • Previous experience creating, shooting, and editing social media content (personal, freelance, or professional experience all welcome).

  • Proficiency in video editing tools such as CapCut, Canva, Adobe Premiere Pro, or similar platforms.

  • A strong understanding of Instagram, TikTok, and current social media trends.

  • A creative eye for visual storytelling, design, and aesthetics.

  • Have a portfolio or social media account showcasing your creative work.

  • Strong writing skills and the ability to adapt to different brand voices.

  • Excellent organization, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple projects.

  • Comfortable capturing high-quality photo and video content on an iPhone.

  • Based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area with reliable transportation for occasional on-site shoots.

  • Ability to work approximately 20 hours per week.

Bonus Points If You:

  • Have experience creating content for hotels, restaurants, travel, or lifestyle brands.

  • Have worked with social media scheduling tools.

  • Are studying marketing, communications, photography, or a related field.

Why Better Days?

You'll get hands-on experience at a growing creative agency, working directly with senior-level marketing and photography professionals. You'll have the opportunity to build your portfolio, contribute creative ideas, and see your work come to life across real client accounts. We're a small team, which means your work will make a real impact.
