Marketing and Technology Internships at Affinitive!

Calling all aspiring social marketing and technology luminaries! Affinitive is looking for a few outgoing, organized, and generally awesome interns for the summer/fall (and beyond, ideally) to work in our New York City office. While working with us, you will be exposed to the vibrant and rapidly growing industries of Word of Mouth and social media marketing, working on exciting projects for big-name clients (rather than answer phones, go on coffee runs and drop off dry cleaning). This position will require that you work fifteen to twenty hours per week, on-site, at our New York office (Chelsea area). This is a PAID internship with the potential to join full-time upon graduation. Preference will be given to those attending school in New York City.

Perks:

• Pay! (yes, we actually pay our interns so you won't have to live off of Ramen Noodles)

• Your very own desk and workstation! (you won’t be crammed around a door on 2 cinder blocks with 5 other people in a windowless room in the basement)

• College credit (if available - you’ll need to check with your school)

• Access to our web-based, communal office jukebox (hopefully you have a decent taste in music or risk getting your playlist "voted down"!)

• Office lunches, happy hours (*21+!)

• Requisite Xbox/Wii/Rock Band/Foosball (we also have functional air conditioning)

• All the marketing and programming books you can read!

How to Apply:

1. Read the internship details below.
2. Visit our company website at www.beaffinitive.com and spend a few moments to actually run through it and learn more about what we do (you may be quizzed!)
3. Follow us at @Affinitive on Twitter. We promise we'll follow you back.
4. Send your resume, cover letter, and any relevant links to your work and social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter, FourSquare, Tumblr, Vimeo, etc.) to internship@beaffinitive.com
4. We'll be in touch with further instructions ;)
