COMMUNICATIONS SUMMER INTERNSHIP 2013
desigNYC is looking for a dynamic, self-starter, design-savvy, visual and well-spoken, to help create and implement an outreach and messaging strategy across multiple platforms to engage multiple audiences–the desigNYC community, New Yorkers, the media and the general public.
The position will involve updating and creating content for outreach based on desigNYC’s activities, including:
• social media posts (Twitter, Facebook updates)
• blog posts in other sites and on www.desigNYC.org
• newsletters and press releases (using our Emma mailing system)
• website (WordPress backend)
• photo editing
• special design projects
Writing is an essential component, but the content should be greatly enhanced with a variety of media such as graphics, photographs, videos, animations, infographics, etc. (some of these exist, but some would need to be created, resized, edited). Experience with social media, WordPress and strong writing skills are a must; additional beneficial skills would include graphic design, editing, basic web design, project management and attention to detail.
