Mandatory internship performance marketing and social media

VAERM is a young brand on a mission to redefine warmth. Our first product, the VAERM bottle, is an electric hot water bottle with patented heating technology developed in Germany: warm in minutes, five heat levels, no boiling water, no leaks. We sell direct-to-consumer across Europe and are growing fast, with more than 10,000 orders so far. Now we're looking for someone who wants to help build a brand from the ground up, with real responsibility from day one.

Tasks

Plan, launch, and optimize paid campaigns on Meta (Instagram & Facebook) and other channels, from targeting and budgets to A/B tests and reporting.

Create ad creatives, including short-form video, static ads, and UGC-style content, and iterate based on performance data.

Support media buying decisions and analyze KPIs such as ROAS, CPA, and CTR.

Manage our Instagram presence: content planning, posting, community management, and trend scouting.

Source, brief, and manage creators and influencers, and coordinate brand collaborations.

Contribute your own ideas on how VAERM should look, sound, and grow.
