Marketing & Communications Intern

Location: Bengaluru (Hybrid) | Internship Stipend: ₹25,000 per month | Duration: 6 Months

Are you the kind of person who notices a great social media campaign, loves writing, and wants to build real marketing experience rather than just "assist" with it?

At the IET, you'll help tell stories that matter.

From engineering breakthroughs and member success stories to scholarships, professional registration, events and communities, you'll help create content that reaches thousands of students, engineers and technology professionals across India. The role includes content creation, social media, blogs, website content, campaigns, member engagement and digital marketing.

This isn't a coffee-and-PowerPoint internship.

You'll write. A lot. With AI help, and without.

You'll interview people, create campaigns, build content, contribute ideas and help shape how engineering is communicated to audiences across India.

What you'll be doing:

- Write social media posts, articles, blogs, newsletters, member stories, case studies and campaign content.
- Interview engineers, volunteers, students and stakeholders and turn their experiences into engaging stories.
- Create content for LinkedIn, Instagram, websites and email campaigns.
- Support campaigns focused on membership, professional registration, scholarships, awards, events and communities.
- Help maintain and update website content.
- Track campaign performance and identify opportunities to improve engagement.
- Create simple visual assets using Canva and other tools.
- Bring fresh ideas to content, campaigns and audience engagement activities.
- Work with colleagues, volunteers and stakeholders across India and internationally.

Who we're looking for:

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys writing. You might be running a blog, writing on LinkedIn,



contributing to a student publication, creating content for a society, or simply be the person everyone asks to write things because you're good at it.

You don't need years of marketing experience. You do need curiosity, creativity, strong communication skills and the ability to tell a story people actually want to read. And a willingness to learn and grow.

If you're the sort of person who spots a typo from across the room, we'll probably get along.

Essential Skills:

- Excellent written English.
- Robust storytelling and communication skills.
- Ability to simplify complex topics into engaging content.
- A creative, problem-solving mindset.

Good to have:

- Experience writing blogs, articles or newsletters.
- Managed a social media account, publication or student community.
- Experience with Canva or basic graphic design tools.
- A personal blog, LinkedIn newsletter, Medium, Substack or portfolio website.
- Experience creating content for clubs, societies or volunteer organisations.

What you'll get:

- Exposure to social media, content marketing, website management and digital campaigns
- Opportunities to interview professionals and create published content

- OR A portfolio link (Google Drive, Notion, Medium, Substack, personal website or similar)
- Bonus Points: If you spot anything in this that could be improved, tell us when you apply

Important: Applications without writing samples or a portfolio link will not be considered. We're less interested in where you've worked and more interested in what you've written.
