Summer Social Media Specialist (Intern)

Other agencies might call it an internship program, but we offer and expect more. From the start, our interns – who we call Specialists – have been an integral part of Online Optimism.

They work 20 – 30 hours per week collaborating with our full-time employees, working for both our clients and Online Optimism itself. In return, we make sure they receive valuable, real-world experience, hourly pay, and the opportunity to team up with the best and brightest in the city.

Typical Duties of our Social Media Specialist Include:

  • Craft Social Media Calendars
  • Grow Instagram Engagement
  • Analyze Paid Social Advertising
  • Work Across Industries & Networks

Real Work, Real Experience

This opportunity isn’t about getting your boss coffee–we have a Keurig (and french press and espresso machine) for that. You’ll spend your time here working on real assignments and projects, participating in client meetings, and teaming up with full-time members as well as working independently. As one of our specialists, you’ll leave us with a complete portfolio of work as well as a killer answer when you’re asked to talk about a time you proved yourself in your next interview.

An Optimistic Culture

Our company aims to keep our staff happy and facilitate their work any way we can, which is why we provide you with top-of-the-line office equipment, keep our cabinets fully stocked with your favorite snacks, take the whole team to free Friday lunches at local restaurants, and have a casual dress code. We’re also a dog-friendly office–dog preferred, actually.

Cold, Hard Cash

We provide $10 per hour pay to all of our specialists. It’s the highest paid marketing internship you’ll find in New Orleans. For those still in school, we’re also happy to do everything we can to get you college credit. In addition, when your department director attends networking events and educational lunches, we’ll be sending you as well, ticket included.

Launch Your Career

Half our full-time team started at Online Optimism as specialists, and many of our specialists go on to work at some of the top digital marketing agencies around.

Requirements (It’s Not for Freshmen)

We have three requirements for our Specialist applicants:
  1. First and foremost, an individual who works hard and wants to be a part of something exceptional.
  2. Already graduated, or graduating in less than a year, preferably leading to a degree in Marketing, Communications, English, Design, or Statistics.
  3. A previous internship, or some other professional experience, related to the department you’re applying for.

We’re aware: it can be frustrating to see a company expecting pre-entry-level applicants who are just starting out to already have experience, but our program isn’t marketing 101. You will be hitting the ground running with real work, which means you will have to bring a lot to the table.

For this reason, and the opportunities provided by our program, previous specialists include the usual rising seniors, as well as recent graduates and the occasional MBA and MFA.
