COMMENTS: No Comments | Ann Arbor, YSA

Your marketing textbooks were written last century. Today’s marketing strategies require tight integration with search engines and social media. I am seeking an intern that wants to learn and apply Search Engine Marketing (SEM) strategies and tactics in real-life situations with real clients.

You will learn and contribute to our clients’ success in:

  • Search Engine Optimization (SEO): better search rankings = more traffic = more $$
  • Pay Per Click (PPC) Advertising: efficient, effective advertising when done right…a train wreck when mismanaged
  • Website Analytics: if you can measure it, you can improve it
  • Blogging and Content Creation: finding your voice in the crowd
  • Social Media: people + relationships = communication

Requirements (more like guidelines, really):

  • Basic understanding of marketing and advertising. Search Engine Marketing does not exist in a vacuum.
  • You won’t be required to code anything, but you must be able to read and understand basic HTML and CSS structures. A basic understanding of how websites, servers, and browsers work is a plus.
  • Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Excel. If charts, formulas, and pivot tables scare you, this might not work out.
  • Strong writing skills.
  • Curiosity, initiative, and attention to detail.

Details, details…

  • This is an unpaid internship that could lead to hourly compensation for the right person.
  • No experience necessary. You will learn a lot on the job.
  • 10-20 hours per week. Flexible scheduling around other jobs, classes, etc.
  • Beginning mid/late June. You can stay as long as you want.
  • Office located at the intersection of Main and Liberty in downtown Ann Arbor.

Still interested? Have questions?

Email me (andrew [at] yoursearchadvisor [dot] com) and explain why you think you have what it takes to succeed in the industry. A resume would be nice too.
