Summer Internship
Job Description & Responsibilities
Internship Overview
We’re looking for students that are passionate about digital marketing and want to gain hands-on experience with agency life. Digital Strike – Targeted Marketing offers a spring/summer internship program for undergraduate students and recent 4-year college graduates. Interns will explore various roles necessary to run a digital marketing agency, including SEO Strategist, Content Strategist, PPC Strategist, Strategic Account Manager, Sales and Marketing Manager, and Social Media Manager.
Timeline
Digital Strike – Targeted Marketing’s Summer Internship starts the first Tuesday in June through the first week of August. (Interns who have vacations have the potential to extend the internship mid-August.)
TWO INTERNSHIP OPTIONS:
For Undergraduates/School Credit:
An opportunity is open for an intern who will participate in the summer or spring 10-week session, and who will then return to school to graduate the following December or May.
This internship is not a paid position; however, the experience offers school credit, provided the academic counselors approve the process.
This unique experience will:
- Provide hands-on experience in digital marketing campaigns
- Position the intern for a successful next semester
- Allows for continued collaboration with DS throughout the following academic semester (or year) on uniquely focused social media initiatives. (The intern returns to school as a DS Brand Ambassador.)
For Graduates/Paid Internship:
An opportunity is open for an intern who has just graduated who is looking for opportunities during the summer or spring (should they be a December graduate).
This internship is a paid position, and it is our hope that the intern will then be able to stay on with the company in a full-time position, should there be a need for the intern’s capability. (i.e., Intern specializes in SEO, and an SEO position is open.)
This internship provides a robust learning environment focused on expanding digital marketing knowledge.
Interns will gain hands-on experience in:
- Account Strategy
- SEO Strategy
- Paid Search Strategy
- Social Media Strategy
- Content Strategy
- Sales & Marketing
- Client Project management and management for DS’s philanthropic event
