Social Media Marketing Intern

Social Media Marketing Intern | PastFinders

About PastFinders:

PastFinders is a mobile app for tourists and history lovers that brings users into an immersive experience to explore the history and beauty around them. We do this through self-guided or virtual tours that show users how to explore cities they are currently in or far away from. We build our own unique tours and partner with various historical societies that build their tours on top of our platform. 

The Role:

We have been focusing primarily on partnering with organizations, but we have new features in development that will transform the user experience. Therefore, we are interested in bringing on three social media interns to showcase our new features, tell the stories of the historical and cultural societies we partner with, create captivating travel videos powered by tours on our app, and find top history and tourism-focused creators who may want to build tours on our app.

This role is perfect for someone who:

1. Loves history, culture, and storytelling

2. Wants to build an outcomes-based resume in areas such as social media marketing, history-focused storytelling, and tracking performance data

3. Develop skills in analyzing social media results and using AI to elevate your marketing abilities 

4. Wants to build relationships with creators with 10,000+ followers 

What you’ll do:

We hope all interns will post 5-7 videos per week, with each focusing on appealing to one of the following categories:
 

1. The History Lover: Tell unique historical stories and facts in a visually appealing way regarding content on our app. This is ideal for someone who loves history, art, culture, and writing short stories.
    
2. The Tourist: Feature our tours targeting the person who loves to travel and immerse themselves in the world they’re visiting. This is great for someone who loves to travel and knows exactly what other travelers want to see, hear, and experience.
    
3. The Historical Society: Tell the stories of historical societies we have partnered with or aspire to partner with - essentially acting like a social media marketing intern for dozens of different historical societies via our social media page.  

In addition, all interns will do light outreach to content creators who align with PastFinders’ mission and would benefit from our platform. 

Who We’re Looking For: 

1. College or high school students with experience posting on social media
2. Understand the platforms well and know what hooks, formats, and visuals appeal to users on various social media platforms 
3. Excited about receiving unlimited commission based on how well your posts perform
4. An appreciation for history, art, culture, and/or tourism 
5. Loves to tell stories 

Please submit an application even if all five of these traits do not apply to you. If you love history but don’t have extensive social media experience, or if you have experience posting on various social media platforms but not a deep understanding of history, we would love to see your application. 
 

Compensation:

This is a commission-based role where each intern will receive 20% of all consumer subscriptions that are activated while you are working with us, whether the user joined the app from your video, another intern's video, or through our internal marketing. If we are impressed with your performance, we would love to bring you on in a salary + commission role. 

We expect this role to be a 5-10 hour/week minimum commitment.
