Promotions Team - Paid Internship

Description

Job Description:

The Promotions Team at the River exists to provide hope to people by connecting them to Jesus in Central Ohio through radio marketing, promotions, and community outreach. As a member of the Promotions Team, you will act as the main “face” of the River at station, client, and community events and remote appearances. The nature of this role means a different schedule many weeks, which can be both flexible but also fast-paced. You must be an outgoing individual who fully understands that making a positive impression with listeners and clients is very valuable. You must be extremely personable, organized, flexible and dependable.

The ideal candidate must be a go-getter, as well as a bold, clear communicator, and a star at station events and within the hallways of our office.

Responsibilities:

  • Office:
    • Event preparation- such as load/unload station vehicles, assemble giveaways, etc.
    • Update Event/Venue/Inventory records
    • Shadow other station departments, with opportunities to learn and assist as needed/desired
    • Deliver listener appreciation gifts
    • Maintain overall organization of office, vehicles, and event materials
  • Events:
    • Set up event displays
    • Build relationships with event attendees
    • Engage listeners with the mission and vision of the River
    • Take photos to post to Social Media and for Client Recaps
    • Serve as the River Dog mascot periodically

Requirements

Requirements:

  • Must be enrolled in or graduating from a college or university
  • Preferred majors: Communications, Public Relations, and Marketing, but not required
  • A relationship with Jesus Christ and the ability to share your faith in a meaningful way
  • Character consistent with The River’s Core Values:
    • Authenticity – We fight fakeness with honesty, encouraging words, playful moments and buckets of forgiveness.
    • Ownership – We do everything we can to create a WOW experience for our listeners AND for each other. We’re responsible for losing, winning, and serving well.
    • Innovation – There’s no relaxing into the slump of status quo. Reaching people for Jesus is too important to become irrelevant. We seek change not comfort.
    • Communication – We hold ourselves and each other accountable to speak honest words, on time, with kindness.
  • Minimum of 4 hours in-office bi-weekly
  • Minimum attendance at 3-5 events per week (depending on demand)
  • You must understand that evening and weekend hours are the “NORM”

 

Benefits of the Internship:

  • Hours for school credit
  • Invaluable experience and exposure in marketing and promotions within the radio industry
