Brand Partnerships Intern Internship

Brand Partnerships Intern (3-Month), Gushcloud Korea

Gushcloud is accelerating its cross-border marketing strategy, exporting Korean brands into the United States (1st) and Southeast Asia (2nd), in response to growing demand from Korean brands seeking a scalable entry into the U.S. market across creator marketing, paid media, licensing, and IP-led brand building.

We are hiring a Brand Partnerships Intern for a 3-month internship with our Brand Partnerships team at Gushcloud Korea. The team's core focus is cross-border marketing — primarily influencer-led, but extending to full campaign execution — for Korean brands expanding internationally.

This is a hands-on internship. You will work alongside the Brand Partnerships team on live projects for Korean brands going global, supporting research, proposal preparation, campaign coordination, and reporting, while getting exposure to Gushcloud's global creator network, IP assets, and data platforms.

Reporting to the Brand Partnerships team, the Intern supports day-to-day communication with Korean media buying agencies and brand teams, and assists on influencer-driven, cross-border campaigns across planning, execution, delivery, and reporting.
