This is a Full Time Paid Internship

DTC Content Strategy Internship -Summer 2022 (Hybrid)

Overview

This summer our Internship Program will be a hybrid program. A hybrid program means interns will be expected to come into their designated office location about 3 times a week. All internships will be hybrid unless explicitly stated as a remote opportunity.

(This Hybrid opportunity is located in Los Angeles).

Responsibilities

The Content & Commercial Strategy is responsible for content strategy for Discovery US, including the curation, commissioning, acquisition, and merchandising of content on the app. We are also responsible for commercial partnerships, podcasts, and multiplatform content that lives off the Discovery app. As part of this internship, you will have an opportunity to dive into all things content, helping us advance the way we think about what's working, what's not, and what's to come in the future.

Responsibilities:
As an undergrad intern, you will work with the Associates on our team to learn about content from the ground up - what types of content do we have, what types of content work best, and how do we think about success.

During the Summer, we will ask you to work on a series of projects that give you an opportunity to get exposure to the various components of content strategy, including both portfolio and title-level analysis.

Throughout the Summer, you would also have an opportunity to learn about and support other areas of the DTC Content & Commercial team on an ad hoc basis, which covers such areas as content acquisition, documentaries, podcasts, and more.
