Three months to learn how brands get into films, feeds and headlines.
Excellent Publicity is a media and advertising company. Since 2011 we have planned and bought media for 5,000+ brands, including the likes of Google, RBI, IIM-A, Amazon, Uber and Apple, across 3,00,000+ campaigns spanning hoardings, airports, metro and transit, newspapers, radio, cinema, television, digital, performance, influencer and sports.
We are an energetic young team of almost 100 people across Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Dubai, with a strong in-house tech team building AI-powered products, including Epifluent, our influencer discovery and intelligence platform, and EPitch, which builds detailed media plans and strategies in hours.
About the internship
This is the entertainment side of media. Over three months you will work on live influencer campaigns, brand associations with celebrities, product placements inside films and shows, and the PR and co-branding tie-ups that get a brand talked about rather than simply seen.
You will not be making tea or sitting through presentations. You will work alongside the team on real client mandates, deal with influencers, talent managers, agencies and production houses, and see campaigns through from the first shortlist to the final report.
This internship is built to convert. Interns who do the work well receive a Pre-Placement Offer as an Associate Media Manager at the end of the three months.
What you will do
- Find the right faces. Research and shortlist influencers and celebrities against the client brief, the audience and the campaign objective, and build a case for why each one fits.
- Build the network. Coordinate day to day with influencers, talent managers, agencies, production houses and media vendors.
- Support celebrity associations. Assist on brand endorsements, celebrity collaborations and promotional partnerships from first conversation to signed deliverable.
- See brands placed inside entertainment.
Work on in-film branding, movie integrations, promotional tie-ups, PR opportunities and co-branding associations.
- Help plan and negotiate. Assist in preparing campaign plans, budgets and timelines, and sit in on rate and deliverable negotiations with influencers, agencies and partners.
- Keep campaigns on track. Follow up on committed deliverables, coordinate between internal teams and external partners, and make sure nothing slips.
- Close the loop. Maintain clean trackers and documentation, and help prepare the performance reports that go to clients.
Your three months: Month 1 - Learn how influencer, celebrity, in-film and PR deals are priced and structured. Shadow live campaigns, build research and shortlists, and start your own contact list of talent managers and agencies.
Month 2 - Take ownership of your own research, shortlists and coordination on live campaigns. Handle deliverable tracking and vendor follow-ups directly.
Month 3 - Support a campaign end to end, from shortlist through execution to the final report, and present your work to the team. This month is also your PPO assessment.
Who we are looking for:
- Clear communication, written and spoken. A large part of this job is putting an idea across clearly and following it up in writing.
- Confident on a call. You can speak to an influencer, a talent manager or an agency without losing your nerve, or you are willing to learn fast.
- Organised, with real attention to detail. You can keep several campaigns and deadlines tracked at once. Campaigns fail on missed dates,
not on bad ideas.
- Genuinely interested in entertainment, influencer marketing, PR and digital. You follow what is happening in films, creators and brand campaigns because you want to, not because the job asks you to.
- Working knowledge of MS Excel and PowerPoint. You will build trackers and help with client presentations.
- Available full time for three months, on-site in Ahmedabad, and serious about converting this into a full-time role.
Final-year students and recent graduates from any stream. Prior internship or college project experience in influencer marketing, PR, talent management or entertainment is a plus, not a requirement.
What you will get:
- Stipend - ₹15,000 - ₹18,000 per month
- Pre-Placement Offer - A full-time offer as Associate Media Manager (Influencer & Showbiz) for interns who perform through the three months
- Also, Travel reimbursed at actuals, a completion certificate, and real exposure to influencer, celebrity, in-film and PR mandates for national brands
Where this goes: Intern, then Associate Media Manager on conversion, then Media Manager at 18 to 24 months, then Senior Media Manager or Vertical Lead. Influencer and entertainment is one of the fastest growing parts of Indian advertising, and the people who know how these deals are actually built are scarce. We would like you to build that here.
