Internship Description:
The Sandpit is an entrepreneurial organization dedicated to finding, developing and launching the best technologies within the sales and marketing arena.
As an innovation and investment business, The Sandpit is constantly on the look-out for new and exciting products to take to market. We currently offer two cutting-edge technologies - one designed to generate a return on social media, and the other to simply and effectively improve your website's performance on search engine results pages.
Skill & Experience Required:
A successful intern at The Sandpit must be excited to get involved in many aspects of a small, quickly growing company. Initiative, intelligence and a good sense of humor are critical to fitting into the team and adding value to the company. Previous experience in IT or marketing would be especially helpful.
Sample Projects:
The intern's primary responsibility will be working with SoDash, our social media dashboard. SoDash is currently used by a number of top tier clients to engage with their customers and manage their brand.
SoDash is a smart social media dashboard that uses artificial intelligence to cut through Twitter, Facebook and blogs to find the chatter that matters to your business. Generating a return on social media is easy when SoDash automatically searches for and tags the tweets that are relevant to your business - whether these are sales leads, customer service or brand management opportunities or competitor analysis.
Interns will have the opportunity to support The Sandpit in managing various client accounts, engaging in client relationship management, and to work on the Sandpit’s own social media engagement strategy by writing blog posts, tweeting, creating LinkedIn groups and monitoring activity across Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms.
Benefits for Intern:
The Sandpit interns have the unique opportunity to gain insight into a highly successful internet start-up in its growth phase. As such, those interns who exhibit initiative will learn a great deal about various aspects of running a company.
Benefits for Company:
The Sandpit is excited to gain from the energy and perspective of bright young interns. With plans to more aggressively expand their service abroad, The Sandpit will make great use of interns who are up to the challenge to work hard.
