SEO Specialist / SEO Optimizer / SEO Copywriter Intern in Irving

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 01:47:17 GMT

Let's face it. SEO Specialists rule! They increase a website's visibility and search engine ranking. A higher search engine ranking is the difference between 10 hits a day and a 1,000,000 hits a day.

SEO is vital for any business with a web presence. It can mean the difference between making bank or going bankrupt. Generating web traffic takes hard work and analytical skills. A SEO Specialist operates behind the scenes, but when the site hits number one, their work gets noticed.

The role of our SEO Specialist is to understand business, user and search engine patterns in order to assist our clients in earning premium placement in SERPs and to ensure constant traffic flow to both ours and our clients' websites.

Your main responsibility is to coordinate with the CEO/Creative Director and other team members to get our clients the best possible search engine status. You will be responsible for analyzing, reviewing, directing and implementing changes to both ours and our clients’ websites so they are optimized for search engines by implementing methods to improve the websites’ organic search rankings (SEO). You will also be responsible for researching, responding to, and executing quality link partners on behalf of both our own website as well as those of our clients for organic SEO purposes.

At the end of this internship, you will be considered for a paid full-time position as the SEO Manager of our organization on the fast-track to Director of Web Marketing, VP and ultimately a partner.

Digital Photographer / Digital Videographer Intern in Irving

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 01:47:17 GMT

This internship is geared towards someone already completely immersed in the food culture. They're addicted to food-related TV shows and related media. They want to know everything about food, both the best and the ordinary, from its health and nutritional benefits, to the science, industry, politics and celebrity personalities surrounding food.

Since Watch Foodie Network business services will soon also encompass both domestic and international culinary tourism, which we will document by video, the intern should also share an equal penchant for travel. As with food, they're addicted to travel-related TV shows, travel magazines, and related media. They understand that the joy of food and the delight of travel arise from the same impulse: the need to satiate a sensory desire. Travel and food are inextricably intertwined. When we travel, food inevitably becomes one of our prime fascinations and our passport to another world.

Our objective is for Watch Foodie Network to be the go-to resource for travelers and foodies alike when they want to delve deeper into their favorite cuisine or prospective travel destination.

The intern will work primarily with the CEO/Creative Director to produce, direct, shoot and edit video packages with or without on-camera talent as requested by our clients. Projects include 30-60 seconds web commercials that are either live-action, photomotion, or a combination of both, and "How-to" instructional cooking videos that run 3-5 minutes long.

In most cases, handheld camera work will be perfectly adequate, and the lower production values add to the authenticity. Restaurants are places where people go to laugh, have fun and enjoy the simple pleasure of human conversation. We will try to reflect this in our videos by keeping things light and friendly. There will usually be some interaction between the person being filmed and the camera person or an interviewer/presenter. In other instances, there may be off-the-cuff interviews with regulars encouraging them to share their favorite menu items, videos of special events, interviews with kitchen staff and videos of cookery classes in action. In any event, the videos won't be bland. There's an enormous amount of room for fun, creativity and innovation.

Upon successful completion of this internship, you will be able to independently develop a video project from concept through production to posting on the web, as well as know how to monetize your videos and optimize them for video search engines. A certain degree of creativity and latitude is required, as well as a strong eye for aesthetics and composition.

At the end of this internship, you will be considered for a paid full-time position as our Video Director on the fast-track to Video Producer, Executive Producer, VP and ultimately a partner.

Graphic Web Designer and Web Developer Intern in Irving

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 01:47:17 GMT

This internship is geared towards not only a jack of all trades, but a webmaster of them–someone interested in becoming a multidiscipline designer.

Building a website (i.e. web developer) is a highly technical process. Designing a website (i.e. web designer) is a highly creative process. This position requires knowledge of scripting languages and an active interest in staying abreast of the newest web design technologies.

Graphic design is about solving visual communication problems. Making something look good is a by-product of design, where the real purpose lies in visually communicating with an audience to cause them to do something. True designers don’t just arrange elements on a page to make them “look good”, they arrange them according to the natural reading sequences of the human eye so that the information can be digested most easily. Great design uses emotion to generate action.

You must have a clear knowledge of a variety of contributing factors to a website's success. Such factors include how best to market a website, the options and limitations of graphics, how to create a site that is effective within search engines, knowledge of the drawbacks of different browsers, and the understanding of the coding required for a website.

Your main responsibility is to quickly create high-quality, easy to navigate, mobile-friendly, purpose driven website and blog designs on behalf of our clients who are largely independently owned restaurants and dining establishments. You will assist the CEO/Creative Director with design matters including but not limited to web edits, page creation, CSS, troubleshooting, graphics creation, domain and hosting updates, and more.

At the end of this internship, you will be considered for a paid full-time position as the Webmaster of our organization on the fast-track to Chief Web Officer, VP and ultimately a partner.

Assistant Account Executive Intern in Irving

Mon, 22 Apr 2013 21:54:49 GMT

We are currently seeking highly motivated, outgoing individuals who have an entrepreneurial mentality and a strong desire to work in a fast-paced and opportune team environment. We are looking for someone who is interested in establishing a career in Sales and Marketing, possesses a dynamic personality with a “can do” attitude, loves to be challenged, is metrics-oriented, organized and has a need to win.

This position involves face-to-face sales of services to new business prospects. Our sales approach is a refreshing alternative to more general mass sales and marketing strategies.

The objective of this internship is to effectively prepare individuals for careers as Sales and/or Marketing leaders. You will learn a variety of skills from sales and human resources to management and mentorship. We are seeking candidates willing to start from the bottom up in order to learn the complexities and opportunities within an exciting industry.

The role involves active participation throughout the entire business development process from prospecting to positioning to eventually leveraging our talent and our suite of services. The Assistant AE will also assist the Account Director with client campaigns at every step from brainstorming to execution.

The role of the Assistant AE can be likened to that of an orchestra conductor. Like an orchestra conductor, the Assistant AE makes sure everything, and everyone, is working in unison. But instead of directing musicians, they’re making sure the copywriters, web designer, videographer, and other members of the team involved in different aspects of a single campaign are doing their jobs. In other words, the Assistant AE is there to make sure all the people creating the various components of a clients' campaign are working in an unified manner, and staying on target with the message of the campaign as hammered out by the CEO/Creative Director.

The Assistant AE is also the liaison between the client and our organization. They manage administrative and campaign work, ensuring that this is all completed on time and on budget. This means that it's up to the Assistant AE to distill the client’s wishes to the creatives in our organization, and vice versa. Therefore, the Assistant AE needs to be skilled at working with people and distilling ideas and directions in a clear and concise way.

At the end of this internship, will be considered for a paid full-time position, plus commissions, as an Account Executive on the fast-track to Account Manager, Account Director, VP of Sales, President of Sales, and ultimately partner.
