The Cooperative is a Baton Rouge shop that runs the whole marketing engine for car dealerships — photo, video, social, email, websites, paid, the systems underneath — plus a growing roster of other local brands. Dealerships pay the bills; they're not the ceiling. We're hiring someone to own a piece of it and ship every day.
You start with the cash engine: inventory photography and social content for our dealerships. Cars on the lot, shot well, posted fast. It's real volume with a real bar, and it teaches you how the whole machine runs.
But we're a small team, and small teams don't do lanes. If you can write, design, cut video, build email, or think in systems, there's work waiting — rooftop magazines, websites, paid campaigns, other brands entirely. You won't get all of it day one. You'll get as much as you can carry.
Someone inspired, hardworking, and a little entrepreneurial. You already shoot, edit, and post — self-taught is fine, your feed is your résumé. We'll hand you real responsibility, not meeting notes and coffee runs. If you're collecting internships for a line on a résumé, this isn't it. If you want your work in the wild, it is.
LSU or the Baton Rouge area is a plus, but the work matters more than the major. College intern setups work here too — credit, flexible scheduling, the whole path — if that's your situation.
Send a short intro and 5–10 of your best pieces — IG, TikTok, a Drive folder, a reel, whatever shows us what you can do — to lance@thecoopbrla.com. That's the whole application.
If you know a creator who should see this, send them our way: lance@thecoopbrla.com with the subject "creator referral," or text (225) 276-5682.
Happy to send a Handshake brief or do a 15-minute class visit — same email.
