Are you a fan of Athens? Have a passion for digital marketing? Want to help promote our amazing city to visitors? If so, we want you to join our team at Visit Athens!

Visit Athens is the official tourism marketing organization for Athens-Clarke County, and we're looking for a Digital Marketing & Communications Intern who's excited about promoting Athens as a must-visit destination.

As an intern, you'll gain real-world experience in B2C social media, email marketing, and content creation—all while building your professional portfolio.

You'll write blog articles and press releases that will include your byline—what better way to showcase your writing skills and add impressive work to your resume?

Our interns value the hands-on experience they gain while working with Visit Athens, and we're proud to see them thrive. For example, one of our Summer 2023 interns shared her experience with Grady Interviews, and our Spring 2023 intern is now a Grady graduate contributing to the Visit Athens account for a PR agency-of-record.

In addition to digital marketing, you'll have the opportunity to participate in press visits, giving you a chance to network with industry professionals and learn more about the tourism field. Visit Athens plays a vital role in promoting the city's tourism and contributing to the local economy, and now is your chance to be a part of it.

What You'll Do:

• Assist with B2C social media and email marketing campaigns.
• Write blog articles and press releases (with your byline included!).
• Participate in press visits during the internship period.
• Gain exposure to destination marketing and economic development.

Position Details:

• Hybrid Position: 10-12 hours per week (4 hours on-site, with the remaining hours flexible and off-site).
• Internship Dates: Start Date: January 12th | End Date: April 27th (may extend depending on availability and interest).
• All Majors Welcome: Open to students in their sophomore to senior year (must be receiving school credit for the internship).

We're Looking For:

• Detail-oriented, professional, and reliable candidates.
• Exceptional writing skills (you'll be creating content that will be seen by a wide audience!).
• A particular interest in social media marketing is a plus.
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
