SoMe Marketing and Brand Development Intern

Salary Competitive
Equity To be negotiated

Who are we? Lokalist is an early-stage startup that has recently launched in Copenhagen. Our mission is to use innovations in machine learning and data science to help people determine the market price for used goods locally. We believe if people understood the value of things they own they would be more likely to reuse, recycle, and reintroduce their items into the secondhand market.


 

What do we need?

We are looking for someone who is passionate about design and excited at the opportunity to help a startup go from 0 to 1 Million. Tools such as Adobe XD, Illustrator, and Photoshop are a natural part of your workflow, and you enjoy working together with a diverse and passionate team. Working in a startup environment can be stressful and to be honest a lot of hard work for little to no compensation. The upside is that you will be on the ground level of something that has the potential to be huge. We are looking for people who believe in what we are trying to do and want to be able to see their impact on the vision and growth of the project developing themselves together with the company. 

  • You must be an independent worker that is able to deliver content that follows the brand identity.
  • You should have an interest in developing content for social media channels.
  • You have experience growing SoMe followers organically.
  • You wish that you had the opportunity to implement your own strategies for growth and marketing.
  • Bonus if have any previous startup or professional design experience.
  • Minimum ability to dedicate 10 hours a week to the project.

 

What can we give you?

One of the most important questions we feel most companies forget to ask is what can we do for you. We are asking you to share with us talents that you have built up over many years to make our lives easier and our brand stronger. For each person this answer is different but it is our personal mission as a small startup to provide value to every team member in a way that is unique to them. If you can provide us what we need and we can provide you what you need then we are sure to be a good match professionally.

 

Our interview is about team fit

In a startup even more important than your skillsets is the team fit. That being said the interview is an informal introduction to our team and the project. We grab a coffee or a beer (your choice), then we talk a bit about the idea and listen to your thoughts about it. We will ask you if you have any previous work to show off, and then discuss a bit about what we can do for you. Finally, we will promise to give you a decision within 48 hours.

 

If what we are doing sounds interesting to you and you have any questions, please give us a call at +45 9111 3247 or send an email to tegan@lokalist.dk and be sure to apply via The Hub! I look forward to meeting with you soon :)

Who we are Each year in Denmark, over 2 million people upgrade their smartphones, but few have a clear idea of what to do with their previous device. Of course, they could sell it or trade it in, but today these options are primarily perceived as a hassle, a scam, or a waste of time. This results in Danes often having two or more smartphones wasting in a dusty drawer. Our mission to reduce this waste and to make the best use of their potential by providing a transparent, fair, and simple way to ensure that our old technology gets used to its fullest extent. The user can then support sustainable causes through our platform with the value of their used phones. Why do we exist? Used phones are extremely valuable. In fact, every year we estimate that at least one billion kroner worth of used phones enters the market in Denmark alone. On top of this, smartphone production has tremendous environmental and social impacts that are seldom talked about. Making the best use of minerals and labor that has already been put into our phones is the least we can do. Through research, we found that most people do not sell or trade-in their devices today for various reasons. However, over 90% of people responded that they would donate the value that their used phone could be sold for, entirely or in part, to philanthropic causes so long as it was easy and transparent. Therefore, not only are the causes we support genuinely good, but they provide the motivation to awaken a large and growing market. Today there is no platform where this can easily be done. Lokalist aims to fill this gap in the market and be the platform where people and businesses can easily donate all or part of the value of their used technology to support sustainable actions we all want to see more of. What happens to the used phones? The used phones we receive are safely wiped, complying with Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). They then have a 92% chance to be refurbished or harvested for working components. The semi-new phones are sold in markets across the world to be loved by future users. The phones that cannot be refurbished are responsibly recycled, making sure to reuse minerals that are otherwise impactful to mine. Our values As a company, we focus heavily on integrating the Nordic values of transparency, honesty, community, and simplicity into our mission. This is not typical of our competitors in this space. By being active in the carrying-out of the sustainable causes with our partners, and showing our users instantly how their device could support them, we believe we can help make the best use of our e-waste while spreading the love.
