I am looking for a summer intern to join Articulate Marketing for 4-8 weeks this summer. This position is aimed at students on relevant degree courses; e.g. journalism, business, marketing, history* etc.
What you will get
- Mentoring from me in copywriting, marketing and online social media
- A chance to work with brand name clients, including Microsoft, HP and Symantec
- Real responsibility for real work
- An appraisal and written feedback at the end of the internship
- A great reference for your CV
- £200 per week
What you will do
- Draft, proofread and/or fact check case studies, white papers, press releases etc.
- Work with me to improve Articulate’s positioning and brand promise
- Write copy for the new Articulate website and help oversee its development
- Write copy for blogs, including the company blog
- Attend client meetings with me, where appropriate
- Help me write marketing plans for various projects
- Support marketing activities, for example booking event locations and sending out invitations
What I am looking for
- Fluent written and spoken English
- Evidence of good writing skills
- Good personal IT skills; you can use web applications, Skype, Word, Excel etc. without hand-holding
- Familiarity with the world of business and IT; most of my clients are big IT firms
- Personal attributes including: attention to detail, academic excellence, curiosity, self-motivation and self-organisation
- You will need somewhere to work, a computer with a broadband connection and the ability to use Skype
What you should know
- Articulate Marketing is a small, entrepreneurial company so this is an informal programme that will suit a rugged individualist rather than a corporate clone wannabe.
- I expect you to work (very) hard but this isn’t an office job. You will be working remotely – at home, if you like – most of the time and coming here to West London one or two days a week for meetings. We will use Skype, phone and email to communicate.
- It would help if you were in the London area but for an exceptional candidate, I am also open to working with you, wherever you are based.
How to apply
- Use the online form at: https://www.formstack.com/forms/articulate-articulate_summer_intern
- Please don’t contact me about this except via the application form
- Please reply on or before 14 May
- I will interview shortlisted candidates and make my decision by 21 May

I’m a historian by training too, so I quite naturally agree.

There’s no doubt that studying history is the best preparation for life available.
