KOL Specialist Intern

Job Description:

Creators can make people discover a brand, change their mind, or care about something they would have scrolled past. The challenge is knowing who to work with, why they matter, and how to make the partnership feel authentic.

As a KOL Specialist Intern at dentsu Influence, you’ll get hands-on experience behind creator campaigns, from researching and identifying the right KOLs to campaign coordination, briefing, and performance tracking. You’ll work with the team to turn audience and cultural insights into creator partnerships that make sense for both the brand and the community.

If you’re naturally curious about people, culture, and why some creators can move an audience while others can’t, this is a good place to start.
