Marketing & Communications Intern bij Sonic Acts

Sonic Acts is looking for one Marketing & Communications intern for a 3-day-per-week internship from September 2026 through February 2027 (exact dates to be confirmed).

Sonic Acts is looking for one intern to join our small, close-knit Communications team. This is a hands-on internship within an interdisciplinary cultural organisation, focused on maintaining and developing our communication channels and keeping audiences engaged with our ongoing activities.

As an intern, you will support the day-to-day execution of our communications and marketing activities. This includes helping manage and update channels such as newsletters, social media, the website, and other online platforms, as well as supporting the rollout of campaigns and regular communications. You will be closely involved in the practical side of communication and marketing workflows: scheduling and publishing content, preparing and adapting materials for different platforms, maintaining consistency across channels, and supporting the coordination of ongoing activities.

This internship provides experience with working methods and tools commonly used in cultural organisations, such as Basecamp (project coordination), content planning systems, and general workflows around time management, prioritisation, and collaborative project organisation.

There is also room to take ownership of a specific focus area or learning trajectory, or to create your own project that would improve Sonic Acts’ promotional efforts. Depending on interest and learning goals, this may develop into a more defined internship focus project in dialogue with the team.

The internship provides insight into how communications function within a cultural organisation: how content is structured across channels, how audiences are maintained and developed over time, and how marketing activities are planned and executed in a coordinated way. You will work in a collaborative environment where reliability, attention to detail, and curiosity about digital communication tools are essential.

Please note:

Sonic Acts employs dedicated staff for its core operations; this internship is intended as a learning environment to gain practical experience in cultural communications and marketing. The role is oriented towards audience development, campaign coordination, and public-facing communications, rather than editorial production.

Sonic Acts is an Amsterdam-based interdisciplinary arts organisation dedicated to the research, development, and production of work at the intersection of sound art, visual art, science, and theory.

Founded in 1994 to present new developments in electronic and digital art, Sonic Acts has evolved into a platform for experimental and interdisciplinary practice. Its activities include residencies, long-term research trajectories, public events, publications, and newly commissioned works, often developed through collaborative processes and presented within public programmes. Alongside its year-round programme, Sonic Acts is known for its Biennial, a large-scale multi-venue programme featuring exhibitions, concerts, performances, screenings, and conferences across disciplines, often presenting works developed through Sonic Acts’ research and commissioning processes (next edition: 2028).
