Working at Sneaker Essentials

Are you a budding or experienced digital marketer or social media specialist looking for an internship to further develop your skills? Then read on, because we might have something for you.

Enthusiastic and motivated students with an affinity for digital marketing and e-commerce growth. Sneaker Essentials was founded on a passion for sneakers and streetwear. Passion is therefore the key characteristic of what we're looking for in new team members.

You can learn anything, and we also offer the space and support to develop yourself in the areas you want to strengthen. Think of business strategy, social media management, digital advertising, content creation, web development, and so on. These are super cool skills that are incredibly valuable for you and your resume. While it's a plus if you already manage a blog or ongoing business social media accounts (Meta/TikTok/Snapchat/YouTube), it's not required.

What are you going to do?

These may be some of the tasks you will encounter during your internship:

  • Creating content for our social media channels.
  • Creating and optimizing content for the website.
  • Building digital campaigns.
  • Customer contact with influencers.
  • Using existing data to approach our potential customers more efficiently and targetedly.
  • Thinking along to optimize the customer journey.
  • Thinking along to take our marketing strategy to the next level.

To keep your internship challenging, we'll periodically organize challenges and projects where you'll work on a specific topic within a set period.

We would like to see this from you:

These are the qualities we are looking for:

  • You have a smooth and accessible writing style.
  • You are well-versed in Dutch, but you also dare to communicate in English.
  • You are creative and dare to think out of the box.
  • You know how to use social media tools and can come up with catchy taglines.
  • You have an affinity with e-commerce and understand the importance of conversion optimization.
  • You can work independently, but also as part of a team. You'll become part of the team and won't be considered an intern.
  • You do an internship at least 3 days a week.
  • Pré: You have an affinity for online marketing and can delve into niche target groups; it's especially great if you're involved in the sneaker/streetwear scene yourself.
  • Pré: You have the insight to shoot photos and edit them.
  • Pré: You can work with Illustrator, Photoshop or Premiere Pro.
  • Pré: You understand CSS and HTML and know how to use WordPress and Elementor.
  • Preferred: Experience with SEO/SEA/Meta Ads. Experience = you've done more than just take a minor or a course.
  • Prerequisite: You have experience maintaining and monitoring the growth of a social media profile. This could be a company account or your own profile, as long as you have some kind of strategy in place.

You're free to create content, as long as it aligns with Sneaker Essentials' personality and target audience. Do you have a fresh new idea and can you back it up? We're always open to pitches!

What can you expect from us?

In return for your fantastic efforts, we offer you the following:

  • Appropriate compensation for your efforts;
  • The freedom to work independently and work hybrid;
  • The possibility that we actually implement your ideas where applicable;
  • Free items from Sneaker Essentials (to be selected in consultation);
  • Entrance tickets to the coolest sneaker events during your internship period;
  • Personal discount codes;
  • A friendly young team;
  • A great learning environment where you are guided by real e-commerce and digital marketing professionals;
