We're TapBlaze, a Los Angeles-based casual mobile game studio behind Good Pizza, Great Pizza and Good Coffee, Great Coffee. We're looking for someone special to join our team for a 10-week social media marketing internship.

This is a hands-on, fast-paced program where you'll work on real projects from day one. The gaming industry moves quickly, and we want to set you up with the kind of experience and skills that actually prepare you for it.

We have established audiences across multiple platforms and are looking for someone to help us deepen that engagement, grow our reach, and turn our communities into a stronger driver of installs and brand awareness.

We value passion, creativity, and a genuine desire to grow. If you're curious whether you'd be a good culture fit, we encourage you to learn more about our team values at tapblaze.com.

What You'll Do
  • Create social media assets (video + static) tailored to each platform’s format and audience

  • Write captions and marketing copy that drives clicks, installs, and engagement. Not just likes

  • Schedule posts across all platforms using tools like Sprout or Loomly

  • Study what works, what doesn’t, and constantly push for better across TikTok, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, and Discord

  • Develop a creative strategy based on the game’s unique community and growth potential

  • Stay plugged into our communities and surface trends, feedback, and ideas to the team early

The 10-Week Goal

By week 10, you'll be running our social end-to-end, setting the creative strategy, producing platform-native content, writing copy that drives installs and not just likes, and publishing across all our channels. You'll have a clear read on which platforms have the most room to grow for our games, backed by real data, and an active pulse on our communities that surfaces trends, feedback, and ideas before they're obvious to the rest of the team. The goal is to leave us with a sharper, more intentional social presence than we had when you started, and a playbook we can keep building on.

What We're Looking For
  • Take initiative and are always looking for ways to improve

  • Are passionate about cozy games, marketing, or community building

  • Have a strong attention to detail and take pride in your work

  • Welcome feedback and are comfortable iterating, even through multiple rounds

  • Are open to learning and incorporating new marketing tools into your workflow

Skills and Background
  • Photoshop proficiency: comfortable doing clean edits and recreating partial art assets

  • Solid grasp of short form video content, especially TikTok and Reels

  • Ability to write copy that feels human, fun, and on brand

  • Organized and fast under tight deadlines, comfortable managing multiple platforms at once

  • Willingness to learn Premiere Pro, After Effects, and other tools on the job

  • Bonus: experience in game marketing or community management

  • Bonus: a genuine love for cozy mobile games

Job Details
  • Paid internship: $20–$25/hr

  • 10 week intensive program

  • In office only, 5 days a week at our Sawtelle location in Los Angeles, CA

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
