Open positions
Internship - Content Creation & Social Media
Do you want to get hands-on experience building the brand that introduces the world to the power of algae during your internship? Do you know exactly what works and what doesn't on social media, and is your phone (or camera) always nearby? Do you also want to learn everything about what goes into producing online content? From the initial idea to going live on all channels? Then this is the role for you!
What will you do?
You will support a crucial role in our rapidly growing company: the entire production process of our social media content. From wild creative idea to concept, production, post-production, and publication on all channels. Alone or in exciting collaborations with our ambassadors. You will work with us to turn the best and craziest ideas into reality and create the highest quality content.
Responsibilities
As an intern with us, you are a full-fledged team member and will be involved in all aspects of our daily work! This means a varied task package where every day is different, including the following components.
Concepting
- You brainstorm and co-write scripts and storylines for major shoots. Those videos you see online: you'll have played a big part in them!
- You scour social media daily for inspiration and keep us sharp on what works and what doesn't online.
- You deliver weekly social-proof ideas and cool angles for our content on our various channels.
Pre-production
- As production manager, you arrange props, locations, and ensure everything is production-ready.
- You also assist in preparing and briefing those involved on set.
Production
- Exciting shoot or filming day at the office or on location? You'll be there!
- During productions, you are responsible for the smooth running of the filming day, so our videographer, photographer, and creative director can fully focus on their work!
- This means, for example: arranging logistics and ensuring all props are present.
- Your creativity is also indispensable on set. During shoots, you create BTS content with your phone, which you can quickly turn into a short Reel the next day.
Post-production & Go-live
- While the editor does their work, you and our content manager will focus on the overarching content plan.
- You ensure that all editor's content is stored in the right place and learn from the edits and iterations made.
- Then you publish the content (stories, reels, substantive posts) and cross-post it on all channels.
- You also get to create TikTok videos independently every week. If you want to pour all your creativity into this and involve the entire team, that's only a good thing!
What do we expect?
At plnktn, we are a close-knit and young team. We all work with great passion and believe that by working together extensively and effectively, we can truly make the world a healthier place with algae.
We are looking for a social media & content creation intern who wants to help build this dream 5 days a week at our office in Amsterdam and is ready to get the most out of this internship.
What do we offer you?
- The opportunity to work for an innovative and sustainable brand with sky-high ambitions.
- A creative work environment where your ideas truly matter.
- Inspiring team and workplace in Amsterdam city center.
- Internship allowance of €500 per month.
- Conditions that ensure you can do what you're good at: think of breakfast and lunch provided, plnktn products, and great outings.
Do you have the vision and belief to produce the best content with us? Send us your CV and a cover letter explaining why you are the perfect candidate.
Hopefully, we'll talk soon!
