Role Overview
Marketing & Brand Strategy Intern (Unpaid / For Credit or experience, resume building)
Company: OMWP Photography LLC / OMWP Studios
Location: Chicago, IL (Hybrid / Remote)
Duration: [Semester-based / Flexible]
Are you a marketing student tired of just reading case studies? OMWP Photography LLC is looking for a creative powerhouse to help take our brand from a local gem to a digital standout. This isn't a "get us coffee" internship—this is a "help us build a brand" internship.
You will work directly with the founder to apply classroom theories to a real-world business that blends vintage electronics retail with community-focused art workshops. We are looking for someone who understands the "analog aesthetic" and knows how to translate it into modern digital growth.
Key Responsibilities
• Social Media Management & Strategy: Own the OMWP content calendar. You will be responsible for scheduling posts and maintaining a consistent, high-energy presence across Instagram and TikTok.
• Copywriting & Voice: Craft clever, compelling, and brand-aligned captions that speak to both tech collectors and local artists.
• Multimedia Content Creation:
• Produce short-form video (Reels/TikToks) documenting the "behind-the-scenes" of workshop prep and vintage gear testing.
• Design digital ads, stories, and feed posts using Canva or the Adobe Creative Suite.
• Brand Identity Building: Collaborate on refining our visual language and "vibe" to ensure a cohesive identity across all platforms.
• Campaign Execution: Develop and execute digital "blitzes" to promote upcoming collage workshops and drive ticket sales.
• Market Research & Analytics:
• Analyze trends in the vintage tech and DIY workshop space to keep OMWP ahead of the curve.
• Track monthly engagement metrics to report on what content is actually resonating with our audience.
• Email Marketing: Assist in designing and drafting our community newsletter to keep our workshop alumni and customers engaged.
Qualifications
• Currently enrolled in a University program (Marketing, Communications, Graphic Design, or a related field).
• A strong eye for aesthetics—you understand why film grain and vintage textures matter to our brand.
• Exceptional writing skills with the ability to balance professionalism with a touch of wit.
• Self-motivated and comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
What’s In It For You?
• Academic Credit: We will work closely with your university’s internship coordinator to ensure this role meets all requirements for course credit.
• Portfolio Building: You will leave this role with a massive portfolio of live ads, social media campaigns, and measurable growth data.
• Mentorship: Gain direct experience in how a multidisciplinary business operates, from inventory sourcing to social impact event planning.
• Creative Freedom: Your ideas won't just be heard; they’ll be tested. You’ll have a "sandbox" to experiment with new marketing tools and styles.
