Overview

ODK Media, Inc. is a media group headquartered in Irvine, CA that provides access to premium international content through its owned and operated streaming platforms, including OnDemandKorea, OnDemandChina, OnDemandViet, and Amasian TV.

We are seeking a Digital Content & Social Strategy Intern to join the team behind Amasian TV, our FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming TV) platform. Designed for current students or recent grads who are fans of K-dramas, anime, and Asian cinema, this internship focuses on hands-on video editing and audience growth. You will spend your time identifying stand-out scenes from our catalog, editing vertical clips, and testing different hooks to see what drives views on social media. Working alongside our content and social media team, you will help bridge the gap between our long-form streaming library and short-form discovery on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
