Job Description

Social Media Marketing Intern

Akari is a new Japanese spirits company preparing to launch in just a few months, starting with our flagship Japanese gin and soon followed by a small-batch whiskey. We’re not your typical Japanese spirits brand. Our craftsmanship is world-class, but our identity is fun, bold, and eccentric—designed to capture the nostalgic, vibrant energy of Tokyo people dream about. Think : karaoke nights, dancing salarymen, and the cinematic escapism of Lost in Translation .

Our creative direction is uncompromising—we shoot exclusively on film to achieve a timeless, high-fashion aesthetic. Once you see our reels, stills, and content, you’ll understand the beauty and originality we bring to the industry.

• Knows how to create content that stops the scroll and sparks conversation
• Understands analytics, algorithms, and what makes content go viral
• Is passionate about storytelling, community engagement, and all things social

Why Join Us

This isn’t just an internship—it’s a chance to help shape one of the most design-forward Japanese spirits brands to launch in the U.S. You’ll get :

If you love Tokyo, film, nightlife, and the idea of working with a brand that feels more like a vintage art-house film than a traditional liquor company—you’ll love Akari.
