Creative Marketing Intern
About the Programme
Are you ready to build a brand that turns food waste into a movement?
We are Cambodia’s first food rescue startup on a mission to ensure good food never ends up in landfills. By connecting top hotels, restaurants, bakeries, and cafés across Phnom Penh with thousands of local users, we help businesses turn end-of-day surplus into discounted “Surprise Bags” for the community.
Since our launch, we’ve built a fast-growing community of 3,500+ active users, 200+ paying customers, and 30+ partner venues, while earning recognition from leading regional accelerators, green business committees, and tech networks.
As we prepare for our official national launch in September 2026 and further expansion across Southeast Asia, we’re looking for a creative, autonomous Marketing Intern to take front-row ownership of our visual story, social presence, and community growth.
Internship Areas
Depending on your skills, creative interests, and brand priorities, focus within this marketing role includes:
-
Short-Form Video & Content Creation (Reels, TikToks, Foodie Content)
-
Visual Asset Design (Posters, IG Stories, Canva/Figma Assets)
-
Social Media & Community Management (Engagement, UGC, Local Community)
-
Influencer & Creator Outreach (Building Local Creator Collectives)
-
National Launch Campaign Execution (Digital & Offline Strategy)
-
Merchant & B2B Marketing Packs (Partner Asset Development)

Every placement is designed to provide genuine responsibility and meaningful project work rather than observation alone.
What You Will Gain
- Real Brand Ownership from Day 1
You won’t be sitting on the sidelines or getting coffee. You’ll be in the driver’s seat—designing, shooting, and launching creative campaigns directly with the founding team. -
A Standout Portfolio in Months, Not Years
You’ll leave with concrete, high-visibility projects to showcase, including leading our official national launch campaign, building a founding creator collective of 10+ influencers, and creating merchant marketing packs used across the city. -

Work on a mission that genuinely matters. Every piece of content you produce directly helps reduce local food waste, support F&B businesses across Phnom Penh, and make quality meals accessible. -
Startup & Growth Masterclass
Learn what it takes to launch and scale an impact-tech startup in one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing markets. You’ll gain hands-on experience across the entire marketing spectrum: content creation, community management, influencer marketing, PR, and offline event activations.

Work side-by-side with the founding team, gain direct access to startup decision-making, and build connections within Cambodia’s tech, green business, and creator ecosystems.

Monthly stipend + endless Surprise Bags (fresh pastries, meals, and snacks)

Fun, high-energy team environment

Potential pathway to a full-time role following the internship for top performer
