Content​/Social Media Marketing Intern

We're looking for an enthusiastic, bright young DJ to join our team in a role that that’s equal parts analytical, creative and effective. You’ll help develop, coordinate and execute marketing efforts and interface with the greater DJ community on our behalf.

You’ll be able to work from anywhere in the world with stable internet.

Experience and familiarity with DJ equipment is required. Previous marketing experience preferred, but not required.

We're looking to hire for this position in March. Pending successful internship, we'd like to extend you and offer to join our team either as an hourly contractor or outright hire.

• Instagram/Facebook - You’ll be creating visual and written content, as well as curating community content, responding to direct messages and acting as a liaison for our sales/support teams on social media
• Written/Video Content Production - You’ll write, edit, coordinate and publish written and video content
• Content Promotion - You’ll execute content promotion campaigns to make sure the content we create reaches and benefits as many DJs & producers as possible
• Community Management - You’ll participate in online communities on The DJ Hookup’s behalf, assisting other DJs and building good will in the community
• PR/Media Relations - Create and strengthen our relationships with industry publishers. Help them achieve their goals, and help them help us.
• Content Curation & Newsletter Creation - You’ll be responsible for creating and sending roundup newsletters of the best DJ content to our community of 50k+ DJs & producers
• Research - You may be asked to research new products, brands, trends, competitors, etc.
• Provide Product Knowledge - You may be asked to train or assist nontechnical team members with DJ-related questions
• Help Pilot New Endeavors - We have 1,000 ideas and you probably do too. If you have the passion, skill and diligence to make it a reality, we want to empower you to do it.

• Passionate, but Diligent. Marketing is 20% concept and 80% execution. We’re looking for someone who’s not only excited about the prospect of doing marketing for personal satisfaction, but also committed to seeing projects through for us and our community.
• Self-motivated. We are a distributed team and no one will be looking over your shoulder. You’ll receive regular training and feedback, but you’ll own the responsibility of executing. You’re timely and have a penchant for going above and beyond.
• Resourceful Problem Solver. You’re comfortable solving the problem “I don’t know” with “let me Google it” instead of “tell me what to do.”
• DJ Literate. We believe good marketing is built on substance, not fluff. Therefore, you should be (or have been) a DJ, understand the culture/subcultures of DJing, be a quick study of new technologies and generally feel comfortable speaking in a circle of DJs.
• College-Level Written English. Most good marketing begins with good writing, because good writing is good thinking. You’ll be crafting communications seen by thousands of people every day. The quality of your content should inspire trust with our customers and represent our brand and our manufacturers well.
• Tasteful and Design Literate. You don’t have to be a “graphic designer,” but you should have an eye for what looks good and what doesn’t. We are a well designed brand and believe that good design in simple applications (e.g. social media, newsletters, etc.) is a small, but meaningful way to show our community that we care. Additionally, you should have an strong intuitive sense of what’s cool and what’s corny.
• Social Media Literate. You should know what good/effective social media looks like (though we’ll help you hone that skill). As importantly, you should be familiar with the language/culture of the internets, including memes, common abbreviations, trends, etc. While we’re at it, your social profiles shouldn’t feature keg stands, bong rips or streaking through the quad.
• Analytical, Curious and Open to Feedback. Marketing isn’t about you, it’s about them. We may try things that don’t work, and…
