About Ripenstein

Ripenstein is a fast-growing sports card and collectibles entertainment company specializing in live streaming, e-commerce, and digital content creation. We operate multiple live-streaming channels across Whatnot, TikTok Live, and Fanatics Live, connecting with sports fans and collectors nationwide.

Operating out of our Southern California studios, our team produces live shows, engaging social media content, and interactive entertainment centered around sports, trading cards, and collectibles.

We're looking for a creative, motivated, and social media-savvy intern to help expand our digital presence, develop engaging content, and bring fresh ideas to our growing brand.

This is a hands-on opportunity to work directly with content creators, gain real-world marketing experience, and play an active role in growing an established sports entertainment business.

What You'll Be Doing

Content Creation: Film, edit, and produce engaging short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and other social platforms.

Social Media Management: Help manage Ripenstein's social media accounts, including posting content, engaging with followers, and growing our audience.

Live Stream Content: Capture exciting moments from our live sports card breaks, including big hits, product openings, behind-the-scenes footage, and entertaining interactions.

Creative Strategy: Research trending sounds, viral videos, sports news, and social media trends to develop fresh content ideas.

Marketing & Promotions: Create promotional graphics, videos, and posts highlighting upcoming live streams, product releases, and special events.

Content Planning: Assist with developing and maintaining a consistent social media content calendar.

Brand Growth: Collaborate with our team to brainstorm creative marketing campaigns and new ways to reach sports fans and collectors.

Performance Tracking: Monitor engagement, views, and follower growth to help identify which content performs best.

Who We're Looking For

Currently pursuing a degree in Marketing, Communications, Digital Media, Sports Management, Film, or a related field.

Familiarity with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and current social media trends.

Basic experience with video editing tools such as CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, Canva, or similar programs.

Creative thinker who enjoys developing original ideas and experimenting with different content styles.

Strong communication and organizational skills.

Comfortable filming content and working around live-streaming environments.

Self-motivated, dependable, and excited to learn.

Interest in sports, trading cards, collectibles, or entertainment is a plus, but not required.

What Makes This Opportunity Different

Unlike internships where you're simply observing, you'll have the opportunity to contribute directly to a growing entertainment brand.

You'll gain experience in:

Producing real content published across established social media channels.

Developing and executing social media marketing strategies.

Working with live-streaming personalities and content creators.

Understanding audience engagement and digital brand growth.

Building a professional portfolio of videos, graphics, and marketing projects.

Collaborating directly with business leadership and contributing your own creative ideas.

We value creativity, initiative, and fresh perspectives. Your ideas will be heard, and you'll have opportunities to take ownership of projects.

Compensation & Schedule

Paid Internship: $20 per hour

Hours: Approximately 15–20 hours per week.

Flexible Scheduling: We understand school comes first and will work around class schedules.

Location: In person at our Los Alamitos, California studio.

Growth Opportunities: Potential for additional hours and long-term employment based on performance and business needs.

How to Apply

Please submit your resume along with any relevant examples of your creative work, such as TikTok videos, Instagram Reels, video edits, social media accounts you've managed, or a digital portfolio.

We're especially interested in seeing your creativity, personality, and understanding of what makes content engaging.
