 Role Mission

You’ll shape how ShineQuo communicates growth to students. Your role blends research, storytelling, and psychology -  writing blogs, guides, and social campaigns that help students take tangible action in their personal and professional growth.

Your success = powerful, research-backed content that drives sign-ups, engagement, and impact.

Goal: Create and launch campaigns that generate 1000+ student sign-ups or engagement actions (form fills, shares, event RSVPs, or community participation) during your internship.

 What You’ll Do
 

• Research trends in student well-being, motivation, and life skills, then turn them into engaging, easy-to-read stories.
• Write blog articles and newsletters that give students actionable templates, frameworks, and self-reflection tools.
• Collaborate with the founder and coaches to co-create “growth kits” — short exercises, checklists, or journaling prompts that help students apply what they read.
• Create copy for Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok that translates these insights into bite-sized, shareable content.
• Build campaign calendars and test creative variations across different audiences.
• Track engagement metrics and continuously refine what resonates most with students.
