About 929
929 is a cocktail bar inspired by Canto-pop, Mando-pop, and the sounds and culture of Asia. At its heart, 929 is a celebration of mixing: mixing familiar Asian flavors into unexpected cocktails, mixing nostalgia with contemporary culture, and bringing music, hospitality, and design together under one roof.
From vinyl DJ nights and live jazz to artist collaborations and culturally driven events, 929 creates experiences that extend beyond the traditional cocktail bar.
We’re looking for a Marketing & Creative Intern to join our small team and help bring the 929 world to life.
You’ll work directly with the founders and marketing team across social media, content creation, influencer relations, events, and marketing campaigns. Because we’re a small team, this is a hands-on role with opportunities to take real ownership of projects from concept through execution.
What You’ll Do
- Develop original, engaging content for Instagram and other social platforms
- Assist with photography and video production for cocktails, events, artists, DJs, and behind-the-scenes content
- Edit short-form videos for social media
- Create social media graphics and other visual assets using Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Canva, or similar tools
- Assist with planning, scheduling, and publishing social content while maintaining a consistent brand voice and visual identity
- Support influencer and creator relations, including research, outreach, pitching, scheduling visits, and coordinating content
- Assist with marketing campaigns surrounding events, programming, partnerships, and new launches
- Monitor social trends, cultural conversations, competitor activity, and emerging content formats
- Review social media performance and help identify opportunities to improve engagement, reach, and content strategy
- Assist with paid social campaigns and creative testing
- Support copywriting, proofreading, and other day-to-day creative and marketing needs
- Help capture content during select 929 events and programming
Who We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is creative, curious, culturally aware, and excited to make things.
You don’t need to know everything already. We care about having a strong creative eye, good instincts, and a willingness to learn.
Qualifications
- Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a marketing, design, communications, or related program, or able to demonstrate equivalent experience through your portfolio
- Portfolio or examples of photography, video, graphic design, social media, or other creative work
- Comfortable operating a camera and familiar with basic lighting and composition
- Able to edit short-form video for social media
- Working knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Canva, CapCut, or comparable creative tools
- Strong understanding of Instagram, TikTok, and current social media culture
- Organized and comfortable managing multiple projects at once
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Able to work in person in Manhattan as needed
A Plus, But Not Required
- Interest in Canto-pop, Mando-pop, J-pop, K-pop, Asian music, nightlife, food, cocktails, or Asian culture
- Experience creating content for restaurants, hospitality, or music
- Familiarity with influencer and creator outreach
- Experience with Meta Ads Manager or other paid social platforms
- Mandarin or Cantonese language skills are huge plus
What You’ll Get From the Role
This internship is designed to provide hands-on experience across multiple sides of creative marketing. Rather than focusing on one narrow task, you’ll have opportunities to participate in content production, social strategy, influencer marketing, events, partnerships, and brand building.
You’ll see how ideas move from brainstorm to shoot to edit to launch, and how marketing helps build both a business and a cultural community.
If you love social media, music, hospitality, visual storytelling, and Asian pop culture, we’d love to hear from you.
To apply, please send your resume, portfolio or examples of creative work, and a short introduction telling us why you’re interested in joining 929. Application without a portfolio will not be considered.
