About the company: MA-INFO is an IT and telecom integrator company. Founded in 2000, MA-INFO provides efficient solutions for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
About the company leadership: The company’s leadership gives the team liberty of action. Based on the objectives, the team takes full responsibility for projects. Teamwork is highly promoted and valued to emphasize the importance of the capacity to work with everybody in society. All of MA-INFO’s team members are kind and young, ready to learn and to improve, and strive for success. In addition to a weekly meeting, the whole team gets together every Friday afternoon to play sports on the beach.
Project Description: MA-INFO is looking for an intern who could help the company design digital and efficient marketing support. Currently, most customer relationships result from a connection with the company’s founder; MA-INFO wants to change this to attract more costumers who have not yet heard of MA-INFO and who are spread over a wider geographic area. The intern would thus help with the marketing strategy and also give input to help the marketing team have a better work routine.
