Content creation internships in Asia and beyond
Articles, social posts and scripts for real brands in Asia.
Overview
What the internship is about
Content interns work for agencies, media startups, travel and lifestyle brands, and in-house teams at tech companies. You write blog posts, newsletters, product pages and short video scripts, check them against an SEO brief in Semrush, then build posts in Canva and schedule them in WordPress or Webflow. Editors send drafts back with comments, and you learn to write tighter with each round.
Most weeks have a content calendar meeting on Monday, writing days in between and a look at Google Analytics on Friday to see what people read. Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand are where we place the most content interns.
