These tasks provide students with hands-on experience in both the strategic and creative sides of marketing, preparing them for future roles in digital marketing, social media strategy, or entrepreneurship.

Training:

Students will begin with a general orientation covering the brand, mission, target audience, and key marketing goals. They will then receive hands-on training in social media strategy, lead generation, and content creation through scheduled one-on-one virtual meetings with the founder 1–2 times per week. These sessions will include screen-sharing walkthroughs of tools like Canva, Instagram Insights, and Meta Business Suite.

The student will also complete a series of online courses (paid for by the company) on topics such as social media strategy, sales funnels, and digital advertising. These are the same trainings the founder used to grow the business and include course materials from Strong Brand Social and similar platforms. Each task assigned will be paired with clear instruction, examples, and feedback to ensure the student understands both the how and the why behind their work.

Learning Outcome:

By the end of the academic internship, the student will be able to develop and execute results-driven marketing strategies, create content aligned with brand identity, implement basic lead generation funnels, and analyze engagement data to inform future campaigns. They will gain hands-on experience in how digital marketing directly supports sales and growth within a real business—skills that are highly transferable to careers in marketing, advertising, entrepreneurship, and brand management.
