Digital Media Marketing Fellowship 2022

About the Fellowship

Is this fellowship for you?

If you are interested in joining a creative community with a strong support system, where you can learn marketing, social media strategy, design and build your resume in the creative field, then this might be the right fit for you.

The Digital Media Fellows are a group of creative digital storytellers who collaborate, and create content in a range of media types. At the heart of great content creation and marketing is technical expertise (which we will cover) but more importantly: story. Story is at the heart of effective brands, companies and communities. The role of the digital media fellows is to utilize digital media to create various forms of content centered around authentic, heartfelt, meaningful, funny, and emotionally compelling stories to create the most effective marketing possible to highlight all things Tufts Hillel. Fellows receive access to creative tools and resources, along with guidance and mentorship in creative strategy and content creation. In return, fellows proactively work individually and collectively on creative content for Tufts Hillel.

The nuts and bolts & Time commitment

Seminars are 80% hands-on collaboration...a time to create and take action.

With oversight and collaboration from the Communications and Marketing Manager, we create content every week around Tufts Hillel’s mission. Content will be driven by the Digital Media Fellows and informed by upcoming events, programs, and initiatives. How many hours is this? Weekly Fellowship Seminar 2 hours. Time: We work as a group to identify a regular time that works for everyone - (must be during business hours M-F 9-5) Location: In person at Tufts Hillel, or held over Zoom if necessary. These seminars are 80% hands on training/learning/creating and collaborating with peers and 20% “meeting” time to check in. In plain english: this is not one more meeting for you to attend, but a time to create and take action.

Who can apply?

Anyone can apply for this opportunity! Whether you have walked into Tufts Hillel or any religious community before or not, whether you have marketing experience or not, whether you have ever done photography or not – if you want to be a part of a creative community and are willing to learn, this opportunity is for you! Minimum 1 semester commitment. Am I qualified? Yes, this is your chance... If you've always wanted to learn about media creation and never had the opportunity, this is your chance. If you are experienced in media creation, this is great, however it is only important if you are also proactive, passionate and excited. If you feel you are inexperienced in media creation but still have the aforementioned traits then you are encouraged to apply.
