Needed: Three workstudy students for sports marketing roles

Monday, January 27th, 2014

The Athletic Recruiting & Marketing Group urgently needs students to fill three workstudy roles in digital media, sports journalism and event planning.

The student filling the digital media role will be responsible for crafting a proactive social media content calendar for Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This student will also photograph athletes, conduct interviews with athletes/coaches, and design promotional content that can be used in marketing efforts.

The student doing sports journalism will be responsible for crafting proactive stories (separate from game-centric stories) that add color to the Bruin athletics brand and give fans a behind-the-scenes look at the teams, players and coaches they love to cheer for.

The student working on event planning will help plan the events surrounding the launch of football next year, including the game-day experience, tailgating, corporate sponsorships as well as fan-experience programs for other sports teams.

Please see Bruin Careers for more information about each role and application instructions.

For more information, please contact Sarah Reid at sreid@georgefox.edu.
