verve: in bloom

Verve is looking for a summer intern to work with us. We’re a (very) small agency with a handful of local and regional clients. Interns will work primarily with me (Kelli) on public relations, marketing communications and social media projects.

What I look for:

• Self-driven: this is a must. I’m not often in an office and need an intern to be able to drive the bus on a project, to ask for help when needed and be able to work solo most of the time.
• Flexible: Every day is different and you need to be able to respond to day-to-day demands of agency life.
• Great Writer: Whether it’s press releases, blog posts, twitter updates or video scripts, you need to be able to write clearly and effectively
• Tech-Savvy: I do a lot of social media and need you to understand the basics of WordPress, Twitter and Facebook Pages. You don’t need to be a coder, but should be able to find your way around.

Interns typically work 10 – 15 hours a week on pro bono and nonprofit projects and will earn a stipend (amount TBD). Eugene-area preferred, but will consider others. I’m wary about a virtual intern, but could be convinced.

Interested? Email me (kelli@vervenorthwest.com) a cover letter and resume. Be sure to include links to your social sites (Twitter, your blog, etc.). I’ll accept resumes through May 14, 2010.
