Federated Media: Job Vacancy for Marketing Communications Intern (San Francisco or New York)

Federated Media was born in 2005 – in a garage, of course – to create a business model for the best independent publishers. These new media companies generated tremendous reader engagement, but no one site was large enough to work with major brands on its own.Founder John Battelle started with his friends at Boing Boing; before long FM represented many of the best independent sites.

The sites and applications we represent span many topic areas and feature various types of content (blogs, apps, community platforms, video, etc.) but they all share a common trait: They’re engaged in quality conversations with their audiences and the broader web. People who go to those sites are more likely than the typical Internet visitor to engage in conversation. These communities of influencers fuel the social web.FM develops programs and products that help brands engage in those conversations and host their own dialogues with current and potential customers. As we’ve grown to have offices across North America and represent a larger number of partners, that basic principle continues to describe our business.



FM is looking for a talented intern to work in the Marketing & Communications department (in either our New York or San Francisco offices).  The role would involve managing a robust suite of Ad Sales materials, including creating new sales collateral, refreshing existing materials, working with syndicated and general research sources and managing internal platforms and tools.  Our ideal candidate is a smart, motivated, organized team player who is excited to be part of a fast-paced media company.
