Weeks of real work
The Program
This is a marketing apprenticeship inside a real brand. You'll learn how strategy gets built, how content gets made, and how a community gets grown, by actually doing it, with a mentor in the room.
What you'll learn
Brand strategy, audience research, content systems, email, partnerships, and campaign execution, taught the way you actually use it.
What you'll leave with
Case studies, content samples, and a real campaign you designed, work you can point to in any interview that comes next.
The Arc
Each phase teaches a different piece of the marketing stack, from research to running a campaign.
Learn how marketers actually study a brand, an audience, and a landscape before they make a single piece of content.
Build a content calendar, launch a recurring social series, and write the kind of emails people actually open.
Map a customer journey, write a pitch deck, and learn how brand partnerships actually get sourced and closed.
Design and run one real marketing campaign: brief, execution, dashboard, and the case study that becomes the first line on your resume.
For Your Portfolio
Real, named, shipped work, the kind you can put in front of a hiring manager and let it do the talking.
A brief, an execution plan, and before/after numbers on a real marketing campaign you designed and ran.
A content calendar, a recurring social series, and an email program. Every piece credited to your name.
A one-page brand partnerships deck you wrote, plus the outreach list and tracked responses to back it up.
Member interview notes and a persona doc. The kind of research most interns never get to do.
A reference from Mecca, a finished portfolio piece, and a story for what comes after BGS.
What You'll Learn
Not theory. The day-one skills entry-level marketing roles ask about, built into the work you ship every week.
Strategy
How to study a brand voice and a real audience before you write a word.
Content
Pillars, hooks, CTAs. Content frameworks that hold up across platforms.
Welcome sequences, reactivation campaigns, and the basics of marketing automation.
Partnerships
Pitch decks, cold outreach copy, and a follow-up cadence that gets replies.
Campaigns
How to write a brief, run a campaign, and turn the results into a case study.
Your Mentor
Hey y'all. I'm Mecca: photographer, founder of Blk Girls Shoot, and your guide for the next twelve weeks.
My whole job here is to pull back the curtain. I'm taking y'all behind the scenes of the marketing, the brand, the operations, the parts nobody posts about, and walking you through how a brand actually gets built. The strategy, the mess, the magic, all of it.
If you want a quiet, polished internship, this isn't it. If you want the real thing with a little razzle-dazzle on top. Come on in.

Senior-year college students or recent post-grads who are serious about marketing, ops, or partnerships and want a real case study on their resume.
8–10 hours weekly across 12 weeks. One of those hours is a live mentor call (45–60 min); the rest is project work on your own schedule, plus a quick mid-week async check-in.
Yes, fully remote. Weekly calls are over Zoom. The only optional in-person component is attending a BGS shoot if you're local.
No formal background required. We care more about ownership, taste, and follow-through than what's already on your resume.
A content calendar, a recurring "member of the week" spotlight series, an email reactivation campaign, a partnership pitch deck, and a capstone growth campaign you design and run. Every one of those is named and credited to you.
