PR & Marketing Internship
A Broad Introduction to the House
A small house has no departments. The placement covers a broad range of its work.
/ About the Role
LIT.ME Events is looking for a PR and marketing intern to join us for two months over the summer, supporting the house across social media, editorial, press and partner relations, and the continued growth of the collective.
The placement is designed to give you a broad introduction to how a small events house works. The work will vary from week to week: written and scheduled content, research and outreach to people we would like within the collective, and looking after our venue, partner and press relationships. You will work closely with the founder and the event leads, and will come away understanding how a private or corporate occasion is enquired for, secured and delivered. Discretion is part of the role — the confidentiality of client events is absolute.
/ Responsibilities
Your responsibilities will be shaped by the needs of the business and by your own strengths. They are likely to include:
- Supporting the growth of the collective: researching DJs, musicians, hosts, photographers and production talent, and preparing candidates for approach
- Writing and scheduling content for the house's social media channels, in line with the events calendar
- Drafting and editing editorial content for the website, including venue features, guides and interviews
- Maintaining venue, partner and press records, and responding to initial enquiries
- Assisting with the preparation of pitch materials, presentations and summary documents for private and corporate clients
- Preparing email communications for the LIT.ME Club and its members
- Reviewing performance data each week, and sharing your findings and recommendations
- Supporting the team at events, including approved content capture
- Other tasks across the business, as the week requires
/ Candidate Profile
No previous professional experience is required. We look for judgement, a clear written style and a genuine interest in the field. The following would make for a strong application:
- A clear and concise written style, and the ability to write in an established brand voice
- A willingness to turn your hand to varied tasks, and to ask when something is unfamiliar
- A working knowledge of Instagram as a content creator rather than solely as a user
- Confidence in making a first approach to prospective members and partners, and in following it up
- Good organisation — you can hold several tasks and deadlines at once
- A high standard of discretion in relation to clients, guests and events
- A genuine interest in London's music, hospitality, nightlife or creative industries
- Based in London for the duration of the placement, and available for occasional evening and weekend events
/ What We Offer
The placement is paid, and travel and reasonable expenses at events are reimbursed. You will work directly with the founder and the event leads from your first week.
You will finish with practical experience across the marketing, editorial and talent sides of a working events house, a portfolio of published work, and contacts across London's music, venue and creative sectors. Where there is a mutual fit at the end of the placement, we would be glad to discuss a longer-term position.
