Develop your content creation and digital marketing skills in an entrepreneurial environment!

Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship is the leading entrepreneurship centre in Europe. Within Erasmus Center for Entrepreneurship, we carry out a myriad of projects related to education, research, and the ECE Campus. As our Digital Marketing Intern, you will develop social media content and strategies.

Because we work on various research and education activities, we are often exposed to new opportunities and activities in which we want to disseminate a broader sense of the entrepreneurial mindset. As our digital marketing intern, you will have hands-on experience working with our various partners and internal teams to create communications assets. By reporting to the Brand Manager, interfacing with each team, you will tap into your growth-hacking mindset to disseminate meaningful content highlighting our organisation’s accomplishments and happenings. You will have access to our photography studio, video equipment, social media accounts and web data to make recommendations on bringing our entrepreneurial ecosystem to life in the digital landscape. Because we have a flat organisational structure, you often come into contact with other fields within the business community, allowing you to take initiative and responsibilities in areas where you would like to develop. We are happy to allow you to develop yourself and explore other areas beyond digital marketing.
