  • Contribute ideas for digital content and assist with creative production for customer-facing campaigns.
  • Research and analyze digital campaign performance, audience engagement, and marketing trends to identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Assist with organizing campaign assets and maintaining digital marketing materials and resources.
  • Provide support for social media, digital promotions, and other priority marketing efforts as needed.
  • Collaborate with Marketing staff and cross-functional teams to support coordinated and effective customer communications.

What We're Looking For
  • Currently enrolled full-time college student (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior) at an accredited two- or four-year college or university.
  • Pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in Marketing, Digital Marketing, Communications, Public Relations, Advertising, Business Administration, or a related field.
  • Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher.
  • Strong interest in digital marketing, content development, social media, and customer communications.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with excellent attention to detail.
  • Familiarity with social media platforms, website content, email marketing, or other digital marketing channels.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint); experience with Canva or similar creative tools preferred.
  • Ability to research and analyze campaign performance and contribute ideas for improving digital engagement.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills with the ability to coordinate multiple assignments and meet deadlines.
  • Creative, collaborative, and proactive approach with a willingness to take initiative and support fast-moving campaigns.

Why You'll Love It Here
  • Gain hands-on experience working on high-visibility digital marketing campaigns.
  • Contribute to major customer initiatives, including the rollout of new technology that impacts OCTA riders.
  • Help expand OCTA's digital presence and improve how the agency connects with customers.
