About Tastebuds
Tastebuds Popcorn is a fast-growing, family-owned gourmet popcorn brand with bold flavors, big personality, and serious growth goals. We’re building something fun, real, and scalable—and we’re looking for a Marketing Associate who wants hands-on experience, creative freedom, and a front-row seat to how a brand actually grows.
If you love content, trends, and turning ideas into engagement, this role is for you.
What This Role Is Really About
Your main mission:
Get more people talking about Tastebuds, visiting our website, and walking into our stores.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role centered on:
- Social media growth
- Promoting specials + seasonal flavors
- Driving traffic through smart, engaging content
- Doing more with less (creativity > ad spend)
Key Responsibilities
- Plan, create, and post engaging social media content (Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok preferred)
- Promote weekly specials, new flavors, events, and seasonal campaigns
- Shoot simple photo & video content in-store (iPhone is fine!)
- Stay on top of trends, sounds, memes, and ideas that fit the brand
- Write fun, on-brand captions that actually sound human
- Help improve website traffic through social posts, links, and campaigns
- Brainstorm creative, low-cost / high-impact marketing ideas
- Track what’s working (engagement, clicks, traffic) and adjust
Who We’re Looking For
- Creative, curious, and resourceful
- Comfortable on social media (you get it, not just scroll it)
- Strong writing skills with a playful tone
- Organized enough to keep content consistent
- Self-starter — we won’t micromanage you
- Marketing, communications, or business students welcome (or just someone really good at content)
Bonus Points (Not Required)
- Canva experience
- Basic video editing (Reels / Tik Tok)
- Photography or design interest
- Experience growing a brand, page, or personal account
- Familiarity with Wix websites
Hours & Pay
- Part-time or internship
- ~5–20 hours per week (flexible)
- Bonus/ Incentive pay based on performance
- Opportunity to grow into a larger role as the brand scales
Why This Is a Great Opportunity
- Real ownership — your ideas will actually get used
- Build a strong portfolio with a growing retail brand
- Learn how small businesses market smart, not expensive
- Fun, fast-paced, creative environment
- There’s a clear path to full-time if you crush it
