What's the Gig?

What You'll Be Doing:

Skills That Make You Stand Out

• Solid understanding of social media strategy and platform best practices (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Threads)
• Hands-on experience with Meta Business Suite, Sprout Social, or other scheduling/analytics tools
• Strong visual communication skills with advanced Canva proficiency (not just templates—designing with intention)
• Working knowledge of email marketing platforms like MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, or Flodesk
• Confident in photography and short-form content creation, especially in dynamic, event-driven environments
• Clear and engaging copywriting skills, with an eye for tone, voice, and brand alignment
• Foundational understanding of public relations, press outreach, and media pitching
• Previous exposure to hospitality, experiential marketing, event production, or venue management
• Awareness of paid ad strategy, A/B testing, and performance metrics (even if just from coursework or internships)
• Familiarity with automated messaging and customer engagement tools (e.g., Messenger auto-replies, chat bots, or FAQs)

Bonus Points For:

• Pro-level Canva users who can build from scratch and think like a designer
• Experience scheduling and executing social content calendars across multiple brands or projects
• Background in writing press releases or crafting media-friendly copy
• Exposure to tools like Adobe Illustrator, Lightroom, or InDesign
• Comfort navigating the behind-the-scenes of pop-ups, events, or hospitality-driven spaces
• Exceptional organizational skills, especially if you've juggled logistics, RSVPs, or vendor coordination
• Confidence working in fast-paced, aesthetic-forward environments with shifting priorities
