Marketing Intern

If you’re a strong writer; graphic designer; and heart-centered, strategic marketing professional, let’s talk! We’re looking for a Marketing Intern for Summer 2020 who would work with us 15-20 hours per week. This person would learn about and be involved with social media management (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest), blog writing and posting, graphic design, SEO, email marketing, and other content development and management. You’ll be working directly with the founder and CEO of Erotic Empowerment, Kelly Noel Zeva, who has 6+ years of professional marketing and content development experience themself.

Though there is no guaranteed offer of employment after the internship, we are seeking to expand our team this year and strongly consider interested interns who have demonstrated they have work ethic and the necessary skills for the position.

About Us

Erotic Empowerment, LLC is a for-profit company based in Madison, Wisconsin, that facilitates healing through sexual empowerment. We educate spiritually-awake, single, entrepreneurial Millennials on how to date, have sex, and create relationships consciously. As part of that process, we provide free content in our Facebook groups, The Sexy, Spiritual Badasses and Mindful Millennials Connecting Virtually, as well as on our blog and website. We also have two coaching programs: 1-on-1 Sex Alchemy Coaching and Jumpstart Your Dating Life During Social Distancing (a group program). Over the next 12 months, we will also be leading in-person retreats centered around Kelly Noel’s in-process proprietary energy healing system: The Zeva System.

Our team right now is Kelly Noel Zeva (Founder & CEO), and Heather Rizzo (Oracle & Admin Assistant). We are in super startup mode, which means that, as the Marketing Intern, you will have the opportunity to dive right into impactful projects that make an immediate difference in the business. You’ll have an opportunity to learn a lot of real-world skills very quickly, and if there’s something specific you want to learn, you’ll likely have the support, resources, and mentorship to do that.

We LOVE making a difference in people’s lives and supporting their transformation, and we value emotionally mature conversation and conflict resolution. While we are VERY committed to supporting our interns with their personal and professional growth, we are looking for someone who is equally committed to their self-development. At risk of sounding a bit out there, we’re looking for someone who jives with us on a deep energetic, mission, and soul level.
