Food Network Convergence Internship- Summer 2022 (Hybrid)
3.8
Overview:
(This Hybrid opportunity is located in New York City).
The Food Network Convergent team works at the unique, exciting intersection of digital and on-air programming. We focus on promoting awareness of and driving tune in to all linear programming premieres through original digital-first content that serves both super-fans and untapped audiences across Food Network’s digital and social platforms, which includes 32 million Facebook followers and 11 million Instagram followers. No two days are alike on our team. We work closely with Food Network’s video, PR, and programming teams on a daily basis to make engaging, buzzy, and on-brand flat and video content on tight timelines and strict deadlines. We work hard to promote Food Network’s culinary brand, talent, and programming in new ways that inspire and engage.
Responsibilities:
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.
