Marketing Intern

**Digital Marketing Intern (3-month contract)**

• Gain real-world business experience and work with a fun, close-knit team_

Reliance Foundry believes in making places people want to be. From beautifully-designed cast metal bollards to a new digital line, we’re committed to uniting function and form.

Our marketing department is a casual but professional team. We genuinely care about each other and believe that passion and accountability are the keys to success.

As digital marketing evolves and our target market diversifies, so too must our marketing -- but we have been limited in time and resources to expand the types of marketing we have been able to do.

We’re looking for a go-getter: a creative, excited, and pro-active intern who can help us with a wide range of research projects to stay on top of current marketing best practices, analyze our performance, and reach new customers.

• *Key Responsibilities**:
• Learn the ins and outs of our products: you'll be introduced to our products in our warehouse and through our website, and learn what new products are in the pipeline. You’ll lead an investigation into the industry marketplace: how do our prices compare to our competitors’? What types or styles of products could we or should we add to our lineup?
• You’ll conduct customer research, interviewing colleagues to research to whom we’re selling: who they are, what they’re looking for, and how we can (and already do) serve them. You’ll then use a variety of business tools and social media analytics to test our theories Are the people we think we’re selling to *really* the people we're selling to? What do they care about? What are their pain points?
• Get your spy hat on: who are our top competitors? Again, you’ll compare who we think are our main competitors to those you may come across in research. Once you know who they are, you’ll deep dive into what they’re doing in their marketing efforts. Is there anything they’re doing that we’re not (and should be)?
• You’ll explore other ways to market to our customers in new, creative ways, and you’ll pitch that to the rest of the marketing team and management. Some of these will be research requests from management, and some may be self-driven
• Approach any and all tasks with curiosity and positivity. We encourage the discovery of new insights that may change our approach to given tasks.
• Experience with Photoshop is an asset.
• *What you’ll get**:

We’re a diverse, friendly workplace with a strong sense of team. By the end of the internship, you’ll have experience with how real-world B2B marketing works, and have both research and presentations/reports to add to your portfolio. You’ll have gained valuable insight into various aspects of digital and traditional marketing, which will hopefully inform where you might be interested to take your career.
