Social Media Companies are specialists are emerging from a variety of fields ranging from marketing, graphic design, IT, web development, among other backgrounds. In these cutting edge internships we place you with companies that are leading the way in educating business on how to reach a generation of You-tubers, Gmailers, Facebookers, Twitterers, Linked Inners, among others.
We have two tracks to choose from:
TRACK ONE
Work with a designated social media company that contracts out to businesses to create an online marketing presence for the company. You will be working alongside industry experts who use the latest technology and strategy to help their clients burst onto the scene.
TRACK TWO
Work with a traditional company who wants to expand their social media presence in-house. Many companies have designated a staff member to oversee their social media updates. You will work to modernize their online presence and do market analysis on the ways to improve their exposure. With this option, there is less pressure as you will likely enter the position with the skills needed to do the job vs. entering a professional marketing company with high expectations for your ability. You have a chance to work with major sports teams, ecotourism companies, and other exciting venues.
OVERVIEW
According to Jody Nimetz, author of Marketing Jive, there are five major uses for businesses and social media: to create brand awareness, as an online reputation management tool, for recruiting, to learn about new technologies and competitors, and as a lead generation tool to intercept potential prospects. These companies are able to drive traffic to their own online sites while encouraging their consumers and clients to have discussions on how to improve or change products or services.
The main job of the social media expert is to educate and teach clients how to set up, update, and grow their social media platforms. In addition, there is the marketing end. Logo design, Facebook landing page design and strategy, social network branding: key to this is choosing the right demographic and area to place an ad. So, the job is two-fold: setting up a company’s social media presence and advertising on major networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others.
