Social Media Marketing for Major Event

Save to Favorites

We Believe in Portland is our organization's largest event of the year. Held twice per year, this event brings together ~2,000 volunteers in Portland, Oregon for a day of service and connection. In just a couple of hours, volunteers clean litter and debris from hundreds of blocks while sending a clear message to the wider community of support and pride for our city. This volunteer position will support our collective event marketing efforts by focusing on content curation and creation for our social media channels (Instagram and LinkedIn). You can learn more at www.webelieveinportland.com

Why it matters:

As a very small team of three paid staff members, we do not have someone solely dedicated to marketing. Your volunteer work in this role will help us maximize our reach in our community while providing critical support to our tiny team while we manage this growing movement!

What you'll do:

• Review past event social media content to assess engagement and provide recommendations for improving performance-particularly on sponsor-related posts.

• Curate a selection of high-performing event photos for social media from our archives and organize them on Google Drive for future use.

• Draft engaging social media posts for Instagram and LinkedIn based on a preset schedule. This includes selecting nad/or creating appropriate visuals, writing compelling captions, and incorporating relevant hashtags.

• Collaborate with the team to align content with overall marketing goals and brand voice.

We're looking for someone who is is self-directed and organized with strong written communication skills and a good visual eye.

Our ideal candidate has:

• an understanding of what kind of visual content performs best on various social media platforms.
• demonstrated experience with graphic design and/or other social media content creation, preferably related to event or program promotion
• familiarity with Canva

What to expect:

This is a short term role starting as soon as possible and wrapping up after the event on September 19. You will be working remotely and will use your own computer and internet access. We will find a recurring time during normal business hours (M-F, 10am - 6pm PST) for a standard check-in on Google Meet to stay aligned on project management and ensure you feel fully supported. Outside of those check-in meetings, your schedule and time management is up to you.
