Want to see how a campaign, partnership, activation or shoot comes together, from the first brief to launch day? We’re looking for a sports marketing intern to join our team in Den Bosch. Someone who loves sport, likes getting things done and is curious about what happens behind the scenes.
About Capital Sports
Capital Sports is a creative sports marketing agency. We help brands, sports organisations and athletes create work that connects with people through sport and stands out. That includes sports marketing strategy, sponsorship and partnerships, alongside creative campaigns, content, activations and production.
We work with clients in the Netherlands and abroad, including FC Barcelona, Nike, Philips Ambilight TV, KNVB, PSV and Garmin.
We work with brands and sponsors, and with clubs, governing bodies, athletes and other rights holders. The briefs vary too: from long-term partnerships and sponsorship plans to one-off campaigns, activations and productions.
What we’re looking for
You’re interested in sport, but it’s the marketing that really grabs you. You want to understand what happens off the pitch and how brands, sponsors and sports organisations work together. You enjoy organising things, stay on top of the details when it gets busy and aren’t afraid to follow up with people. You can work independently and know when a task is better tackled together.
You’re studying sports marketing, marketing, communications, business or a related subject at a university or university of applied sciences, and looking for a full-time work placement in your third or fourth year.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll work alongside our project managers, strategists, creatives, designers and performance marketers. One day you might be researching a new pitch or partnership, the next helping with an annual plan or campaign, and the day after on location for a shoot or activation. No two weeks are the same.
You’ll help with things like:
- research into sport, fans, brands, sponsors, partnerships and trends;
- planning and developing sports marketing campaigns and activations;
- researching rights holders, sponsorships and commercial opportunities in sport;
- sponsorship and partnership plans, and annual marketing plans;
- pitches and presentations;
- preparing for photo and video shoots;
- schedules, running orders and to-do lists;
- keeping in touch with clients, partners, suppliers and venues;
- helping out on shoots, at matches and during activations.
You’ll follow projects from the initial strategy and creative idea through to planning, production and delivery. We’re not expecting you to know how to do all of this on day one. Bring curiosity, show initiative and be ready to take on more as you learn.
What’s in it for you?
You’ll join the team on real projects for brands and sports organisations in the Netherlands and abroad. It’s a chance to explore the different areas of sports marketing, build your skills and take on more responsibility as you learn. You’ll be based with the team in Den Bosch, and the placement comes with an internship allowance.
