UNIQUE ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPPORTUNITY: Do you want to run your own business? Do you have an interest in travel or social media? Are you looking for a paid opportunity for this summer, with the potential to earn money AND equity?

Innfluence, a student-run startup founded by 2 Blue Devils, is a new social media marketing platform using data analytics to pair influencers with luxury properties.

This summer, we are looking to add two co-founders, one technical and one non-technical, to our team. We will teach you the ropes of entrepreneurship and the fundamentals of our business. Contingent upon performance, by the end of the summer you will join us as an equity-holding co-founder. This is a full-time position with high expectations (of course, you will still have time to enjoy your summer too!).

You will be compensated by stipend (details still being finalized, will be in the range of $2,000-$3,000) AND the potential to earn significant equity in the business (this will be performance-based and range from 0%-30%).

If you are interested, please complete the application at this link by 11:59 PM on April 15, 2021. Also, feel free to reach out with any questions. By late April, select applications will be contacted for an interview!

Remote – The Egg – Director of Marketing/Outreach (Co-Founder)

March 22, 2021 / Olivia Reneau

The Egg is seeking a Director of Marketing/Outreach to manage day-to-day marketing and outreach operations. We are young, small, and fast-paced. Digital marketing and advertising initiatives that might come up on the job include Google Ads, Facebook Ads, on-page SEO, off-page SEO, technical SEO, email marketing, conversion rate optimization, social media posting, and more. If you’re not familiar with one specific marketing strategy, that’s fine, but you’ll be expected to learn quickly. Your job will be to manage the macro marketing and outreach strategy to get and grow clientele and student freelancers, while also being in charge of ensuring short-term marketing and outreach goals are met. A marketing team will be built around your position, so you will need to take complete ownership of client initiatives and be able to push the team while treating everyone fairly and fostering compassionate company culture.

This job will require:

– Intimate knowledge of digital marketing and client outreach/research (to be clear, you eventually won’t be doing the actual campaign setup, optimization, etc. You’d be in charge of managing people who will do that work).
– Experience managing remote teams through Slack. We also use Airtable for project management.
– Availability AS NEEDED. Initially, the role won’t require more than 6/8 hours per week but flexibility and responsiveness to time-sensitive communications is a must.
– Keen ability to figure things out in spite of adversity and uncertainty. This cannot be emphasized enough. You will be thrown into a variety of situations and we will expect that you can use the resources at your disposal to figure things out.
-An awesome attitude and a genuine passion for our mission.

Who you are:

A hard-working, team-player with grit. You’re a natural leader with an understanding of how to set and accomplish short-term goals that lead to long-term growth and progress. You aren’t afraid to tackle challenges head-on and are willing to learn new skills and technology on the fly if it means improving efficiencies. You’re people-oriented with an intuition for customer engagement and an ability to develop strong understandings of customer demographics through research and analytics. If you have read this far into the description put “Squirrel” at the top of your application and you will get a priority. Previous marketing experience is necessary, previous startup experience is a plus!

Benefits:
-Working with extremely talented students and founders.
-Learning about the operational aspects of starting and running a business.
-A huge amount of invaluable experience that will add value to any future job you apply to.
-Equity in The Egg.

Our goal is to help public hotspots realize their full potential as both a marketing tool for the business providing the hotspot, and as a valued resource that benefits the community.

An online platform for businesses to create their own WiFi-K9 Hotspot.
An Android and iOS app that configures a Hotspot User’s device for free and secure internet access.

Specifically, WiFi-K9 is looking for small teams of 2 to 4 students, who can help do one or more of the following:

Create and execute a plan for using one or more social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) to find businesses willing to be initial Hotspot Providers.

Refine the marketing messages through A/B testing.
Create in-store promotional material (signage, flyers, postcards, etc.) to explain to Hotspot Users how and why to use a WiFi-K9 Hotspot.
Get feedback from both Hotspot Providers and Hotspot Users on the MVP and suggest improvements.

You don’t have to be an expert. Honestly… we’re not. But if you bring an enthusiasm and a willingness to experiment, we’d like to talk to you.
