About The Position

Paid Media Marketing Intern Description Want to learn what actually goes into launching paid media campaigns that capture attention and drive results? LV Collective, an Austin-based student housing and multifamily developer, is seeking a curious, creative, and digitally savvy Paid Media Marketing Intern to join our marketing team. This internship is designed for someone who wants real-world experience in paid media, digital advertising, and marketing analytics. You’ll get hands-on exposure to the process behind successful campaigns, from researching creative trends and developing content briefs to supporting creative execution, launching ads, digging into campaign data, and helping keep campaigns moving.

What matters most is that you’re curious, resourceful, detail-oriented, and excited to learn. You won’t just be watching from the sidelines. You’ll work alongside our marketing team, contribute to active campaigns, and learn how creative strategy, execution, analytics, and paid media come together to support LV Collective and its portfolio of brands.
