Both Tails is a growing pet brand creating fun, design-forward apparel, accessories, and toys for dogs (and the people obsessed with them).

We’re looking for a NYC-based college student who wants to get their hands into a little bit of everything (including marketing, content, design, partnerships, product launches, and the day-to-day craziness of building a consumer brand).

Think of this as a “Chief of Stuff” internship: part marketing intern, part creative assistant, part founder’s right hand.

What You’ll Work On

No two weeks will look exactly the same. You might:

• Help brainstorm TikTok, Instagram, email, and campaign ideas
• Assist with creating and designing social content
• Help plan photoshoots and create mood boards
• Find creators, dog influencers, photographers, and potential brand partners
• Help with influencer gifting and outreach
• Research trends, competitors, and what’s happening in fashion, pets, and culture
• Help develop concepts for new products, prints, packaging, or merchandising
• Assist with upcoming launches and retail initiatives
• Help organize projects and keep creative ideas moving from “we should totally do this” to actually done
• Join brainstorming sessions directly with the founder and have a real voice in what we create

Who We’re Looking For

You might be a great fit if you:

• Attend FIT, Parsons, NYU, The New School, Pace, Baruch, or another NYC-area school
• Are studying marketing, advertising, fashion business, communications, graphic design, product design, or something adjacent
• Have a strong visual eye and understand what makes a brand feel cool
• Know Canva is a plus
• Are organized, proactive, curious, and comfortable figuring things out
• Have ideas and aren’t afraid to share them
• Want to learn what it actually takes to build a young consumer brand

You do not need years of experience. We care much more about taste, initiative, creativity, and whether you get what we’re building.

Why This Internship Is Different

You won’t be sitting on the sidelines watching someone else do the interesting work.

You’ll work closely with the founder, contribute ideas that can actually make it into the brand, and get exposure to social media, e-commerce, retail, influencer marketing, product development, creative direction, and entrepreneurship.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to help build a brand from the beginning,” this is that kind of role.

Bonus Points If…

• Your camera roll is mostly dogs
• You can spot a TikTok trend before a brand ruins it
• You have strong opinions about fonts
• You walk through NYC and mentally critique every store window
• You love fashion/design/pop culture AND dogs
• You’re the person in a group project who somehow gets everything over the finish line
