Social Media Internship!
The student would be shadowing our social media community managers, supporting their role and learning what is required to run the social media accounts of large brands. They would help in putting content calendars together that are relevant to the brand strategy and then be working with our team to develop engaging competitions and concepts that we could roll out across channels.
We are a team of 12 with a flat management structure so everyone gets involved on all accounts. We are working with brands such as Live Nation bringing music gigs town right through to specialist architects focused on a b2b approach so the education would be rounded.
Many of our accounts are bi-lingual so somebody that could speak both Arabic and English would be ideal for both them and us.
Let me know if you are interested!

Spring Interns!
Dear Spring Interns,
Welcome to 2015.
Yes we are just going into the exam period but I wanted to have a quick meeting to get you well on the way to a successful Spring 2015 internship.
In case you did not know about it there is a blog site for our internship program.
Tuesday at 11am I would like to meet you all in the BLUE AUDITORIUM to go over process, expectations, forms and timelines.
You pick the internship sites and you can find your own site.
We can also help you find a site we have many good relationships in the UAE and good placement possibilities.
BUT REMEMBER in the end NOBODY has to take you as an intern so it is important to think wisely and specifically about where you might like to go.
To start the process we will need the parent agreement form signed and 3 options.
We will also need a current CV.
I have attached the parent agreement form, the internship handbook and the CV guide.
DO NOT PANIC I will go over it all on Tuesday.
At 12noon the Fall 2014 interns will have a poster presentation in the Atrium this is a good opportunity to ask more specific questions!
See you Tuesday.
Regards,
Dr. James Piecowye
