ABOUT YOU
You're the one with the ideas, a way with words, and the curiosity to figure out what makes great marketing actually work. You notice the campaigns that make you stop, the copy that makes you click, and you're always thinking about how you'd make it better.
You can talk to literally anyone, you're switched on, and you're not afraid to try something new. Some might say you're a "personality hire," but behind the charisma is a sharp marketing brain, strong writing instincts, and a genuine curiosity for how it all works, the copy, the strategy, the people, and the AI tools changing the way we market.
ABOUT THE INTERNSHIP
This isn't a coffee-fetching, watch-from-the-sidelines kind of gig. You'll be building, writing, testing, pitching, recruiting, and optimising, all while getting real-world marketing experience with Australia's OG Schoolies brand.
Your headline project? Building our Ambassador Program. As in, you'll find the group, hype them up, keep them delivering, and turn them into the loudest voices in the Schoolies world.
Around that, you'll be writing copy that actually converts, learning SEO properly, and getting hands-on with AI, building workflows and helping us figure out smarter ways to use it across our marketing. You'll leave with a portfolio most grads would fight you for.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Build our Ambassador Program from the ground up. Recruit, onboard, brief and hype a national group of school leavers, then keep them engaged and delivering.
- Write copy across web, articles, email campaigns, paid ads, scripts, captions and briefs. Snappy, on-brand and built to convert.
- Get hands-on with AI, testing tools, writing prompts, building workflows and finding smarter ways to use it across our marketing.
- Learn and implement SEO. Keyword research, on-page optimisation, content briefs, and watch your own work climb the rankings.
- Contribute to marketing brainstorms and campaign rollouts, from first idea to live.
- Support shoots and events (yep, you'll be on location and in the mix).
- Be a voice of the brand. Assist with replying to comments, hyping the community, and keeping the vibe high.
- Jump into content and social when the team needs the extra hands.
WHAT YOU WILL BRING
- A way with words. You write like you talk, and people actually read it.
- A sharp marketing brain and an instinct for what makes people stop, click and take action.
- Your own style of Gen Z humour and an instinct for how to speak to our audience.
- People skills. You can rally a group and chase a follow-up.
- You're not scared of AI. You've already been playing with it, and you're keen to get properly good at it.
- You're creative, curious, and addicted to great storytelling, whether that's visual or written.
- You're into events, youth culture, and know how to ride the wave of what's trending.
- You're studying or recently completed a course in marketing, comms, media, or you just really love this space.
- You're organised and chill, even when things move fast.
- Availability in the lead up to and during Schoolies, October to early December 2026.
