Beyond writing about a new company and its internships every day, there’s a lot of behind the scenes work that I have to do to continue growing my busines. A huge portion of that work falls under the categories of internet marketing and search engine optimization. Maybe I’m biased because I’m doing the stuff every day, but I think that being able to understand and implement online marketing concepts will be essential in many of the career paths that today’s new college grads take. If you want to set yourself up with the internet marketing skills that aren’t being taught in most undergraduate curriculums, you should consider an internship at a place like HubSpot, a Cambridge, MA based internet marketing startup.
HubSpot is all about helping businesses with inbound marketing to generate sales. Let’s use our new job search training course, Found Your Career, as an example. HubSpot offers web based applications in addition to consulting services that could help us bring more job seekers to our site. Beyond that, they’d also help us specifically target job seekers who are likely to enroll in a training couse. They’d use tools that they’ve created to analyze what we’re doing, how well it’s working, and what we can do better. It’s a pretty cool concept, and they seem to be having a lot of success with it. Put simply, HubSpot uses their internet marketing expertise to make small businesses “hubs” for incoming sales leads.
Last year HubSpot landed an additional $12 million in VC funding to bring their total funding to $17 million. What do companies do with huge investments like that? They usually hire people, and that’s what HubSpot has been doing. They’re an exciting and growing company, so they’re the perfect place to intern if you want to learn more about the online marketing world. Right now they’re looking for Internet Marketing Summer Interns who can do everything social media. You can find the full description by checking out HubSpot’s Jobs and Internships page. There’s no word on whether these internships are paid, and there aren’t a lot of administrative details about the internships, so hopefully someone from the HubSpot team will stop by and answer some questions. You can apply for the internships directly from the posting on their site.
