The Advancement Digital Engagement Intern assists with a wide variety of communication and digital marketing-related projects for the Advancement team, with a particular concentration on curating digital content, as well as creating and editing video and photography to enhance social media presence and engagement (TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter). The ultimate result is to help alumni feel more connected to Bates by drawing a link between how their own Bates experience has impacted their lives and careers since Bates.
The Digital Engagement Intern must be able to assimilate ideas into a creative digital media product (primarily vertical video and photography) that meets the expressed desired outcome. The candidate will work on a per-project basis to create vertical video recordings primarily for use on TikTok and other social media platforms. Additionally, the candidate will help curate authentic videos and photography of on-campus activities and share footage that vlogs aspects of their personal Bates experience. Creativity, videography, photography, editing, communication skills, and attention to detail are required. They must also possess practical and working knowledge of social media and be enthusiastic about Bates College.
