How will we work together?

The inHub Marketing Intern can expect to work on a hybrid basis with team members who are based at The Henry Ford and remote-based team members. Based on specific project needs, there are times when you and the team will work on-site at The Henry Ford's campus in Dearborn, MI.

This internship opportunity will be led by the inHub Marketing Manager at The Henry Ford and supported by our inHub Marketing Team as well as the Invention Convention Worldwide team.

As our inHub Marketing Intern, you will work with the marketing team to create stories and develop marketing materials and campaigns that show the impact of The Henry Ford's portfolio of products and services for educators, focusing (but not exclusively) on our Invention Convention Worldwide program. We are looking for an intern who can help us catalog, categorize, and review existing content (video content, blog and other written content, web content, and more) to help us use this content to tell compelling stories about the impact of our programs on young learners and help us grow our program.

Primary responsibilities and projected projects include:

• Review existing video content and develop a taxonomy that identifies and catalogs video elements that can be used to tell the story of Invention Convention worldwide.
• Work with the inHub marketing team to create social media and web content supporting Invention Convention Worldwide.
• Audit the Invention Convention Worldwide website and provide recommendations for improvements and create tasks for the web team to activate.
• Audit the inHub website and provide recommendations for improvements and create tasks for the web team to activate.
• Assist onsite during Invention Convention U.S. Nationals competition (June 5-7)
• Assist with post-event communications and marketing for Invention Convention U.S. Nationals.
• Help with content development related to the launch of the Invention Convention Worldwide Alumni program.

We hope you will join us.
