Please pass this on to anyone you think would be appropriate. It is a fulltime position for someone with great internships up to a couple of years of experience. To me, this is just about the coolest marketing job I could imagine someone having out of school and it is a real opportunity to make a name for yourself and be a part of something big.
*****************************************************************
You lead a full and exciting life, both online and off. You know nightlife, art, sports, politics and lots of different kinds of people. They’re all on your IM buddy list, MySpace, Facebook, LiveJournal, blog, Xanga, Friendster, MyYearbook, etc., etc.
You know these sites like the back of your hand because you actually use them. Your profile has the coolest bling and you’re the first to find the latest stuff. How many online friends do you have? 50? 100? 500? 1000?
Ideally, you also have experience, either at an internship or fulltime, with more traditional media and PR as well as experience in an internet or web-based role, including online organizing, website development, implementing online campaigns. Blogging experience, effective writing skills, marketing, journalism, RSS and HTML knowledge are a huge plus.
