Communications Internship

Are you looking for an internship where you can combine communication and content marketing with a passion for culture?

Then Cultuurmarketing is looking for you!

Cultuurmarketing is the platform for marketing and communication professionals in the cultural sector. We equip cultural marketers with the knowledge, skills, and connections needed to make culture accessible to a broad audience. Our articles on topics such as AI, inclusivity, and marketing campaigns are an important source of information for the cultural sector.

In addition, Cultuurmarketing is the initiator of Werken voor Cultuur: the guide to careers in the cultural sector.

We offer a five-month internship, from February to June 2026. During this period, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your communication skills by actively contributing to our content strategy for both brands.

Tasks and Responsibilities

• Designing social media posts in Canva.
• Carefully checking and refining our articles, job listings, and other content to ensure everything is accurate and perfectly presented.
• Contributing to and implementing our social media strategy on platforms like Instagram, Linkedin en TikTok.
• Responding to questions and comments on our social channels (webcare).
• Analyzing content performance: what works well and what can be improved?
• Supporting team members in areas where you’d like to learn more.

What the Internship Offers You

By the end of the internship:

• You’ll have practical knowledge in marketing and communications within the cultural sector.
• You have experimented with AI tools.
• You can professionally design content in Canva and work with social media software.
• You have worked with different brand styles and tones of voice.
• You’ll have experience with CMS, CRM, and email software, skills often essential for roles in the cultural sector.
• You can work in a structured and detail-oriented way.
• You have insight into trends and developments in the cultural sector and the cultural job market, which you can apply in your studies or future career.

What We Offer

We provide an inclusive working environment within a welcoming team. Here’s what else you can expect:

• Professional guidance: Cultuurmarketing is a recognized internship provider for university students, so you can count on solid mentorship.
• Internship stipend: A fair stipend of €450 gross per month based on 40 hours.
• Flexibility: 1 to 2 days of remote work per week.
• MacBook Air: Available for loan during your internship.
• Travel reimbursement: For office days in Amsterdam if you don’t have a student travel card.
• Professional development: You’ll have the chance to take a training course from our learning program.
• Comfort and community: A sit/stand desk, great coffee, and engaging conversations during team lunches at the office.
• Flexible holidays: Choose which holidays you’d like to take off.

Our Ideal Candidate

You’re creative, love creating content, and have a passion for culture. Are you pursuing a college or university degree? We think that’s a great match! A background in marketing communications is a plus but not required. It’s a bonus if you are comfortable being in front of the camera.

This is a collaborative internship; if desired, a small research project can be part of the internship.

Here’s what our former intern Alexandra (Bachelor’s in Arts & Culture Studies) had to say about her time with us:
“Doing an internship at Cultuurmarketing was I think one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. I learned a lot of new skills, discovered new passions, such as graphic design, did research that has provided me with valuable knowledge about the employment market in the Dutch cultural industry and how the cultural industry works in the Netherlands, and also offered me an amazing environment where I could develop myself both personally and professionally. A lovely team that put in all their efforts to accommodate and integrate me into the Dutch working field and into their company as an international and non-Dutch speaker – something I will forever be grateful for.”

If you don’t meet all the criteria but think you could still be valuable to our organization, feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities.
