Marketing Internship May/June

Job content

A little bit about Edgard & Cooper:

In 2016, our founders wanted to feed their dogs - named Edgard and Cooper - pet food they could feel good about. The kind of food that was as good for the planet as it was for their pets. But when they couldn’t find this, they decided to make their own. Now, 9 years later, our pack has 200 employees and we are beyond proud to be part of the B Corp movement.

What type of breed are we looking for? ????

We’re looking for a passionate marketing intern to join our team at the headquarters here in Kortrijk. At Edgard & Cooper, the marketing team are our creative pet foodies, the gate keepers of the brand, ensuring our Edgard & Cooper ethos is embodied within our products whilst developing the pull and push strategies to drive success.

Are you a real pet-lover? Looking for a new challenge within the marketing division of a young, dynamic and growing company? Then we have a tail-wagging opportunity for you...

What will be in your bowl? ????

MARKETING

As a marketing intern, you will be a great support to the Senior Brand Manager BENELUX in Belgium. You will have your own responsibilities and projects.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Is Instagram basically your second home? Do you think in memes, reels, and viral trends? Then you might just be the perfect fit! Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to flood Belgium and the Netherlands with amazing influencer content, making sure Edgard & Cooper is the only pet food brand people and their four-legged friends ever want to talk about.

Here’s what you’ll be up to:

???? Influencer Hunting & Deal-Making – You’ll track down the best content creators, slide into their DMs, and negotiate win-win deals that get tails wagging. Your goal? Generate a ton of organic content that not only brings in new pet parents but also fuels our digital team’s paid campaigns.

???? Briefing & Follow-Up – Once the deal is sealed, you’ll guide influencers on how to create content that perfectly matches our brand vibe: fun, engaging, and most importantly, pet-approved. You’ll ensure they know exactly what to do, what not to do, and follow up to make sure everything runs smoothly.

???? Content Performance Reporting – You’ll track how well all that content is performing, put together weekly reports, and help us understand which posts are turning pet lovers into lifelong fans. Did a reel go viral? Did a doggy influencer bring in a wave of new followers? You’ll be the first to know and share the insights.
