Campus Marketing Intern
Internship (For-credit/Unpaid) | Remote | June 1-August 9 | 10 hours/week
The Brand: Atlas Arena
Atlas Arena is the first product of Nexus Games. Atlas is a new kind of game—built to defend and advance human intelligence in an era dominated by AI. Our mission is to help people sharpen critical skills like adaptability, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking through play. The world doesn’t need more time-wasting games—it needs experiences that make people smarter, stronger, and more connected.
At the heart of Atlas is a competitive, team-based experience where players face abstract challenges in limited time windows. These challenges live inside the Arena, a daily set of levels within the broader game. Designed to be engaging but non-addictive, Atlas strengthens the most human skills in ways that feel cinematic, social, challenging, and meaningful.
The Program: Campus Marketing Internship
The Campus Marketing Internship is a 10-week program designed for entrepreneurial students who want to gain entry-level marketing experience by working with an early-stage startup.
Interns will spend the first half of the summer mastering brand foundations and research, and the second half owning a marketing budget to execute applied growth experiments. Projects are focused on market research, social media, and campus engagement. Through collaborative work, interns will bridge the gap between high-level strategy and boots-on-the-ground execution.
We are looking for self-motivated, collaborative, and creative students to fill our Summer 2026 internship cohort.
