Job Description

Do you love the ‘gram? Facebook? Twitter? We are looking for a rockstar Social Media Intern to join the Sseko team during their summer break! This role will be working closely with our Marketing Team to manage Sseko’s social media as well as working with Sseko’s founder on her personal social media!  If you're looking for strategic experience in social media from a brand perspective, this internship is for you! This individual would be responsible for:

  • Visual Content: Work with our Marketing Team to develop imagery and stories that tie in with our campaigns.

  • Social Media Strategy: Work with our Marketing Team to plan and execute social media campaigns.

  • Interaction: Learn to speak with Sseko’s “brand voice” and interact with customers through comments and messages.

  • Styling: You get the Sseko brand—our style and our aesthetic—and you have a natural eye for style! We're excited to have you on the team to help style our summer products for flat-lays and mini photoshoots. (It’s a plus if you aren’t camera-shy, either!)

Qualifications

  • Ideally pursuing an undergraduate degree in marketing or a related field.

  • Passionate love and interest in social media.

  • Personal fashion blog or Instagram a major plus!

  • Basic design and photography skills another plus!
