How Do You Give Back to Cats?
In your role as Blog Writer and Video Maker you are actively scanning our socials – Insta and TikTok (and FB and Twitter too if you can handle) – and the web in general in search for new clients/cat friends. It also happens they could knock on our door, and, of course, we do always open.
When you have scouted/found a cat or cat organizations with a story to tell, you will then actively chat in the DM of Insta/TikTok with the cat, and will interview the affiliated hooman. Based on your interview material, you will then start working on a blog draft.
Your writing style is pawsitive and uplifting, even though topics can be sad, like diseases or felines who passed away.
Once the blog draft is finished, you upload it in our Gdrive. Via our Whatsapp group, you let our inhouse editor, know that the draft is ready to be edited.
After her check and last adjustments, you receive a Go for publishing the story on our website. Founder suki will do that for you on Tuesdays and you will receive a sign when it is done. On Wednesday, you will then push the story via our Insta and our TikTok (and ideally also our Twitter/X and Facebook) in the visual brand style of CatSwoppr. For this, you can use the templates in our Canva/Figma.
You then also will make a videorecap of the cat story you wrote with Capcut/Canva/AdobePremiere whatever video editing program suits you the best. We have a small tutorial how to make the videorecap in Capcut. And we have team members, who can guide you in making a video.
Ideally, you are familiar with SEO and popular hashtags. We thus work with a Whatsapp group. You will get access to our Gdrive, Capcut, Canva, Trello, Figma, Insta and two Facebooks, TikTok and Twitter/X. Our team meetings are on Monday evenings 20.30-21.30hrs Amsterdam Time.
We Offer You
Time and space to use your skillset serving your beloved furry friend: the cat. Of course, if you as student want the internship to be part of your (applied) university curriculum, and if your professor agrees, we would be very happy to fill out intern papers for you, and all other necessary documents. We have done such in the past for the University of Padova, Erasmus University, Leiden University, Avans Hogeschool Breda, Saxion Hogeschool.
You may also find room to experiment with social media formats, Insta and/or TikTok strategies, data analytics, visual design, business development, webdesign even. There is always a lot of pawsibility to pick up a specific task which you like to improve yourself with.
