We are looking for an energetic and resourceful person to promote our new app on college campuses and in other local communities. The app is a private messaging tool for individuals — like Snapchat for text, but a whole lot better than anything you’ve seen. We have the resources and drive to redefine intimate conversation for the mobile world and your efforts will be a critical part of our app’s success.
Duties
- You will be responsible for getting college students to download and use our app — initially on Chicagoland campuses, and later throughout the Midwest and nationally.
- You will write emails, Tweets, Facebook and blog posts and design posters to promote the app.
- You will gather feedback from customers by whatever means are most appropriate — holding focus groups, tracking down individuals, sending emails, managing a Facebook page, etc.
- Based on this feedback you will help to shape the app’s technical features and user interface.
Requirements
- You must enjoy meeting new people!
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Creativity, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic
- Familiarity with various popular mobile platforms, social networks, and messaging apps
- Ability to commute to our Chicago Loop office and to nearby Chicago college campuses
- Ability to occasionally travel outside of Chicago
Preferred experience
- Experience promoting events or activities — for example, as a rush chair, club officer, political campaign volunteer, fundraiser, etc.
- Design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite
- Photography or videography experience
- HTML or other web design methods
