Call for Social Media & Marketing Intern

The Head & The Hand Press

2031 Frankford Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19125

?

THE HEAD & THE HAND PRESS IS A CRAFT PUBLISHING COMPANY BASED IN PHILADELPHIA. We call it that because we consider writers to be artisans and we think that they should have control over the process of crafting a book?from the first word written on the page to the first book sold off the shelf. The Head & The Hand Press is inspired by the growing movement of artisans who are reviving Philadelphia?s fractured post-industrial landscape into a local network of quality craft manufacturing. With that same spirit, we hope to build a publishing company that can successfully market books while keeping the integrity of the work in the hands of the writer.

We?re in search for a Social Media & Marketing Intern to join our marketing team. If you?re interested in gaining experience in communications in an effort to advocate for the work of authors, this position is for you.

The position would involve a mix of public relations, social media, marketing and event planning. We would like someone who enjoys the field of communications and is comfortable writing and speaking.

Most importantly, we?re looking for an intern that has an appreciation for the book publishing industry and the vision of The Head & The Hand Press. The Head & The Hand Press believes in working with authors to craft a book with quality and authenticity. At our press, the marketing team helps document this craft along the way through: 1) blog posts on our Workshop Blog and 2) posts on Facebook and Twitter.

The position would help out our Social Media & Marketing Coordinator and our Marketing Director, and he or she would be responsible for the following:

• Join the voice of The Head & The Hand. We?d like our intern to become comfortable with the language of The Head & The Hand Press and embody our unique tone and voice in all communications.
• Assist with coordinating events for writers. Help pitch and coordinate events via telephone and email.
• Contribute to social media content development, management and monitoring. Fully manage Pinterest and contribute to Instagram (@theheadandthehand) regularly. Also assist with creating posts for Facebook & Twitter and monitoring them daily.
• Create and manage visual content for our website and social media networks. Help with taking Instagram pictures at our Workshop and all other events for social media networks and our website (Workshop Blog and Events pages).
• Bonus: if you have skills in photography or graphic design, or if you just enjoy taking pictures. This would be a plus for us, but not necessary.

We?d like a 12-15 hour commitment per week for this position. The position is unpaid, but it offers first-hand experience in communications for a company with an outstanding team dedicated to quality work in the book publishing industry. To apply for this position, please send a resume and cover letter to: promotion@theheadandthehand.com.? Please feel free to email us at the same address if you have any questions. Thanks and we look forward to your applications.
