Marketing Intern

The Hollingsworth Group is seeking a Marketing Intern who wants hands on experience with influencer marketing, brand outreach, sponsorship development, promotional strategy and business growth. A major part of this position involves helping us create commercial opportunities for social media clients with large audiences. You may research companies that could be a natural fit for those clients, identify the people responsible for marketing or partnership decisions and assist with presenting our clients as valuable promotional partners. Assignments may involve sponsorships, ambassador programs, affiliate relationships, brand campaigns, product promotions and longer term marketing partnerships. You may also help develop ideas for how a client can be positioned differently depending on the company, audience or opportunity being pursued. Another part of the role includes researching creators, executives, public figures and organizations that could form useful business relationships with our clients. Those relationships might involve joint promotions, strategic alliances, special projects, events, cross promotion or other mutually beneficial arrangements. You will also help with the practical work required to move opportunities forward. That can include researching prospects, organizing contact information, supporting written outreach, following up on conversations and keeping partnership activity accurately recorded. Our consulting work extends beyond influencer marketing. Depending on current assignments, interns may also gain exposure to property related projects, charitable initiatives, emerging technology and machine learning, business development, responsible investing, wellness, sports, entertainment, sustainability, healthy aging, education and music. We want interns to contribute ideas, not simply carry out instructions. If you see an interesting brand, promotional concept, partnership opportunity or new way to create visibility for a client, we want you to bring it forward. The purpose of the internship is to give students substantial professional experience before graduation. That experience will help prepare you for future employment with our company, get you a great job with another organization, or help guarantee that you gain admission to graduate school. This is a un paid internship that normally runs about 3 to 6 months. Exceptional interns may later be considered for compensated work and possible full time employment. Applicants should send a resume and cover letter describing their relevant experience, interests and reasons for applying. College credit may be available when approved by the student's school.
