Entrinsic - stipend



What am I applying for?
Official position is Community Management Intern for Entrinsic. The internship will be four months long, start date TBD. Interns will receive a monthly stipend for their work. 

Who will I be working for?
Entrinsic is a digital culture agency founded on the belief that new and emerging media is reshaping the way consumers — and by extension businesses — think, behave, and interact. We understand that a brand's success in the social sphere relies on artfully weaving together technology and culture to drive engagement. 

We provide a full suite of services including research, content creation, design, analytics, and dedicated account management. The result? A robust social media strategy that is tailor-made for each brand we work with.

What would I be doing?
As part of a small team, your role will involve a busy schedule working on a wide range of projects that may include:
-          Content research - reading and image sourcing
-          Research / outreach for current and potential partners
-          Writing and editing content (blog posts, tweets, status updates) for multiple brands
-          Monitoring social properties for multiple brands
-          Creating reports and generating insights
-          Contributing strategic insights for current and upcoming projects
-          Being present at all internal and some client team meetings
-          Providing support to other members of the team 
-          Other duties as required

What sort of employee are we looking for?
We don’t expect you to come to us with an extensive portfolio - this is why you are interning - but we do have some qualities that we would love to see in our ideal candidate: 

-          A love for the word YES.  You may not have experience in a particular area, but challenges excite you and you are ready to do whatever it takes to get a task done. 

-          Familiarity and affinity with the social space. We don’t need you to be an internet superstar, however, you should be comfortable working within a diversity of social platforms and communities as well as industry standards and common practices. 

-          Great writing. The written word is the heart of social media – well-written, original content and communication is the core of any successful strategy. Therefore a background in writing, editing, and online content management is a serious plus.

-          Comfortable with technology. We work with a ton of digital tools everyday. You don’t have to be a tech wiz, but you should be open to learning and playing around with new technology. Bonus points if you are familiar with, or have used any of the following tools – Microsoft Excel & Word, 3rd party social management platforms (Hootsuite, TweetDeck), Content Management Systems (Wordpress), Google/Facebook Analytics 

-          A passion for social and digital media. You don’t have to run your own blog, but social media is an integrated part of your life and goes deeper than just Facebook. We’re looking for someone who thrives on the digital - whether RSS, gaming, or tweeting.

-          Innovative and creative thinking.  Problems aren’t really problems, just roadblocks – and you have the skillset to get through it, make it look easy, and make it look good.  

-          Strong attention to detail, ability to multitask, master of organization. Need we say more?

Preferred areas of study
Programs such as journalism, communication, media, PR, and English are good places to start, but nothing is set in stone. If you think you have what it takes and would make a good fit, impress us!
