New Media Summer Intern, New Ventures

New Ventures is looking for a creative and technologically skilled intern to assist our communications by expressing the benefits of environmental entrepreneurship through video.   

New Ventures is the World Resources Institute’s center for environmental entrepreneurship – providing business development services to environmentally-focused small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in emerging markets. New Ventures (NV) is part of the Markets and Enterprise Program at World Resources Institute.  The Markets and Enterprise Program seeks to direct the flow of capital towards sustainable businesses.  New Ventures addresses the key barriers to “green” entrepreneurial growth by building in-country support networks for environmental enterprises and increasing their access to finance (for more information, see www.new-ventures.org).  New Ventures works in six markets – Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia and Mexico.  As New Ventures grows into a global network, it aims to communicate the power of environmental entrepreneurship across the globe using the stories of the companies it works with in each of its six countries of operation. 

New Ventures works with inspiring entrepreneurs around the world, all of whom have created companies with positive environmental impacts. We would like to work with our Local Centers in each of our six countries of operation to collect and edit video footage that promotes the companies that we work with and the power of small and medium businesses to create environmental change.  The intern will work with the New Ventures Communications and Marketing Officer and Communications Assistant to develop video concepts, compile and edit footage and develop an influence strategy for the videos produced.

Key deliverables for this project will be a short video or set of short videos (ideally creative, catchy, and viral) telling the stories of New Ventures and its companies and an online/social media plan to promote the videos created.
