Associate, Influencer Marketing

SolComms, an award-winning integrated communications agency for startups and scale-ups at the intersection of corporate and consumer communications, is now accepting applications for an associate to join our dynamic Influencer Marketing team this summer.

Designed for recent graduates pursuing a career in Influencer Marketing, the Summer Associate Program offers a hands-on opportunity to gain experience in an entry-level agency role. The Associate will work across a diverse portfolio of B2B and consumer-facing clients spanning the healthcare, digital health, and technology sectors, building practical skills in talent sourcing, trend forecasting, and client communications.

At the conclusion of the program, the associate will complete a capstone, project-based assignment. Participants will select a client they’ve supported and develop a fully realized, viral campaign concept to present to the agency’s leadership team.

After the program, we may consider the associate for a full-time position with the agency, pending a review of their performance and training experience.

The paid Summer Associate Program runs for 12 weeks, from June 1 through August 30 (Monday-Thursday). The majority of the program will take place on-site at our New York City office, with the final month transitioning to a remote format. Associates are expected to work four days per week.
