PDC Performance: Community Outreach & Engagement Intern

Community Outreach & Engagement Intern

PDC Performance is a Trinity alumni-led and Stumberg award-winning startup that provides a powerful performance-tracking tool for weight training and strength sport officiation. The tiny PDC Bluetooth clip, attached via lightweight bands to the arm or leg, tracks movement data during exercises, and communicates with the free PDC Performance app to provide real-time feedback and objective performance metrics.

Community Outreach & Engagement Intern - This internship provides the opportunity to have an influential role in developing and expanding the presence of a startup company through an organic and community-centric approach. This role will be focused on expanding our online presence and the growing user base of our app through a community engagement rather than sales-driven approach. Interns will collaborate with the PDC team to create and implement an effective community engagement and outreach strategy through 4 approaches:

• Repurposing videos from our weekly in-app community leader board as social media posts to attract new users to the app and recognize the exceptional feats of strength tracked by users of our app.
• Reaching out to strength athletes, coaches, and any other leads who would be most likely to share, review, provide testimonials, or collaborate with us. Collaborate to create strength-related social media challenges, giveaways, and other tactics to boost community engagement and interest.
• Attending a local power lifting meet or convention with our team to promote the device as a training tool as well as its potential as a competition officiation solution in various strength sports. Help to design display materials and collaborate on a strategy to demonstrate the app's most impactful features.
• Collaborating with the team to refine our website by streamlining the customer path, improving aesthetic choices, and updating the front page to include any new testimonials and reviews.

NOTE:

Due to financial restrictions tied to University funding through the VMS program, Trinity University students will be given priority consideration for this position.

Benefits:

• Hands-on experience working in an early-stage startup environment
• Implementing organic promotional strategies
• Building and engaging a strength training community (online and in person)
• Lead generation skills
• Measurable results with a clear impact on a growing business's success
