Title: Marketing Intern – Paid

Location: City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
Marketing Intern – Paid
Location: Hybrid – Century City, Cape Town
Salary: R10,000 per month
Company: The Social Construct
The Social Construct is a construction-focused marketing agency serving clients primarily in the UK. Our creative team is based in Century City, Cape Town, and we’re looking for a Marketing Intern / Junior Marketer who’s at the start of their marketing journey and eager to learn, grow, and make an impact.
This is a great opportunity for someone who’s already dabbled in marketing or social media and wants to turn that interest into a proper career in a specialist agency environment.
About the role
You’ll support our team in planning, creating, and scheduling content for clients, helping to manage social media accounts, and learning how to communicate professionally with clients. You’ll get hands-on training in our tools, systems, and processes so that you can quickly become confident working on real client accounts.
Key responsibilities
- Assist with managing social media accounts for a range of client businesses.
- Help plan and schedule content across different platforms.
- Support in creating basic graphics and assets using tools like Canva.
- Help maintain content calendars and ensure tasks are completed on time.
- Join internal and client calls to learn how we communicate and present ideas.
- Learn how to use AI tools and other digital platforms to support research, planning, and content creation.
- Contribute ideas and feedback to the wider creative and marketing team.
Requirements
- We don’t expect you to be the finished article. We’re looking for someone with clear signs that they’ve already started their marketing journey:
- You’ve built or grown social media accounts for yourself, a side project, a community, or a small business; or
- You’ve done some marketing or social media work for companies, societies, student organisations, or clients in any capacity.
- On top of that, you should have:
- Strong interest in digital marketing and social media.
- Willingness to learn tools like Canva, scheduling platforms, and AI tools (we will train you).
- Good written and verbal communication skills.
- Basic comfort with computers, cloud tools, and common online systems.
- Good organisation and planning habits, even if you’re still refining them.
Experience in the construction industry is not essential, but an interest in working with B2B or “less glamorous” sectors is a big plus.
What we’re looking for
We want ambitious, curious people who are serious about building a career in marketing. You should be open to feedback, keen to develop your skills, and ready to take on responsibility as you grow. If you like the idea of working in a focused agency, learning from a team, and getting real exposure to UK clients, this role is for you.
Salary and location
Based in Century City, Cape Town, with a hybrid working setup.
