Content & Social Marketing Internship – Summer 2019
Coworkaholic is a travel and lifestyle blog for the road warrior and digital nomad alike. For our audience, the world is their office: whether taking a conference call in an airport; meeting clients at a coffee shop; or closing a contract while sitting poolside. Founded by Mike LaRosa in 2015, we’re a source of news on coworking, inspiration to ditch coffee shops for the accelerated serendipity of coworking and tips on how to travel the world on points and miles.
In February 2019, Coworkaholic joined the BoardingArea network. Developed by the same people who founded some of the most popular business travel and frequent flyer websites on the Internet including InsideFlyer, FlyerTalk and SeatExpert, BoardingArea is home to the world’s biggest and best travel blogs: providing news, information and advice for frequent flyers to make the most of their travel.
Since joining BoardingArea, Coworkaholic has been growing by leaps and bounds and that means that now we need to add to the team! We’re looking for a self-starting, out-of-the-box thinking, hashtag posting, story telling, marketing mastermind to join our team for a Summer 2019 internship.
Are you:
- Interested in learning how to travel the world on points and miles?
- Curious about what the future of work looks like or considering creating a job of your own, rather than looking for an entry level role?
- Looking for an internship that allows you to work anywhere in the world while offering you with workspace wherever you choose and a RT plane ticket to get you there and back?
Then this might be the opportunity for you…

What You’ll Be Doing
- Assisting our Editor-in-Chief & Social Marketing Director with coordinating and scheduling content — stories, photos, videos, posts — for publishing on the web including blog posts, news features, email newsletters and social media platforms
- Supporting our Publisher & Social Marketing Director in monitoring analytics, identifying trends and leading audience communication via DMs and email replies
- Creating and editing graphic content and collateral
- Contributing to team discussions, brain storms, sourcing of content and advertiser requests for proposals
- Documenting your experience from departure take off, to your favorite coworking moment to final approach of your return flight
We’re a big believer in the power of intention. The goal of this internship is to support your career path by providing real work experiences while offering opportunities to explore interests and develop professional skills and competencies. You won’t be running errands for “the boss”, being assigned overly administrative tasks or sitting for hours at an empty desk waiting for direction.
The Skills We’re Looking For
At Coworkaholic, we embrace the belief that when it comes to knowledge, there are three truths:
- What you know you know
- What you know you don’t know
- What you don’t know you don’t know
We’re not looking for someone who is a master of everything. As much as we want to see what you know, we want to understand what you don’t know and that you are aware of how and when to tell the difference. These are skills that will be necessary to successfully complete the required roles and responsibilities:
- A desire to learn by asking questions and leaving their comfort zone
- An interest in coworking, travel and the digital nomad/location independent lifestyle
- Excellent oral and written communication skills
- The ability to think creatively and be innovative
- Flexible availability, attention to detail and organization while managing multiple tasks
- Professional & personal judgment and discretion
- The willingness to complete repetitive tasks, no matter how boring they might seem
- A working knowledge of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and MailChimp
- A working knowledge of Canva or Adobe Creative Cloud Suite
- A working knowledge of WordPress
The Experience We’re Looking For
We believe in the power of learning whether it be from the “School of Hard Knocks”, community college or university. While most candidates will either be a recent graduate or still in school, as long as you have a GED, past work experience is weighted above and beyond your education journey. Experience and interest in these fields will enable the candidate to successfully complete the required roles and responsibilities:
- Communications
- Journalism
- Public Relations
- Marketing & Social Media
- Tourism Promotion
Compensation
With any internship comes give and take. You’re looking for experience, adventure and opportunities. We’re looking for help. If selected for this position, you’ll receive:
- One (1) RT economy class plane ticket
- Access to coworking space
- $500 USD monthly stipend, paid the 1st of the month
You will need to provide your own computer and smartphone/tablet.
