Social Media Intern - Kansas City

RentVision

<div>Are you ready for a season of focused marketing photo and video capture? Are you a videographer and photographer who has a sincere love for content creation? Are you adventurous and love showing up to new places? Are you located in the Kansas City area?
We are looking for a talented and high-energy member to join our Traveling Media Team in 2026!
Expect to be our &ldquo;boots on the ground&rdquo; in the capture of impactful visual content for apartment community websites and marketing campaigns. As one of our Seasonal Media Producers, you&rsquo;ll travel and shoot 20-30 hours per week, generally within a 200-mile radius of where you&rsquo;re located, to produce exceptional photographs and walk-though video tours of unique apartment communities and floor plans, all while providing remarkable interactions with on-site staff and residents.
You&rsquo;ll spend two weeks learning how to capture impactful marketing material for apartment communities the RentVision way, including one week with our Media Team staff in person (Lincoln, NE). Once you&rsquo;re geared up and ready to go, you&rsquo;ll hit the road for an awesome seasonal experience. The start date for this position is May 18th, 2026, and the season will run for anywhere between five to seven months.
Once training is complete, you&rsquo;ll be traveling to our clients every week, shooting new apartment communities and pleasing clients.
Key Responsibilities:<ul><li>
Capture photo and video according to RentVision&rsquo;s spec: You&rsquo;ll be capturing the community and floorplan photos and videos to showcase communities to prospective residents in marketing. RentVision&rsquo;s process is informed by 16 years of providing apartment marketing media to clients, and our approach, gear, and deliverables are very narrowly defined.</li><li>
Travel to client properties: You&rsquo;ll be serving clients in and around your metro, generally within 200 miles. That means driving to and from these communities to capture photos and videos during the shoot timeframe. Promptness, consistency, and reliability are a necessity!</li><li>
Openness to travel: While you&rsquo;ll stay in your metro area most of the time, RentVision serves clients across the country. Availability for optional trips may take you to different cities or states, including airline travel and overnight hotel stays. Interest in fulfilling this occasional travel is preferred.</li><li>
Calendar management: RentVision will manage your shoots, outlining where to be, what to capture, and who you&rsquo;ll be interacting with. Staying on top of your planned shoots, where they are, and what needs capturing is mandatory to succeeding as a Media Producer.</li><li>
Media management: You&rsquo;ll be capturing the media from which a whole host of edits, marketing material, and website content will be generated. Taking diligent notes and being meticulous with the prescribed media management process is vital to concluding a shoot and working with our team.</li></ul>
Client Communication:<ul><li>
You&rsquo;ll be on-site interacting with apartment community staff on a weekly basis. Professionalism, great communication, and a pleasant demeanor all contribute to creating the remarkable experiences we strive to provide RentVision clients. You won&rsquo;t have to worry about scheduling your shoots, but on the day you will be interacting with the onsite staff there to receive you.</li></ul>
Team Collaboration:<ul><li>
This position may be remote, but not alone! Work alongside a Media Team with 30+ years of combined real estate photo and video experience. You&rsquo;ll stay in close contact with your direct manager and our travel coordinator who will ensure you know what shoots are coming, and that you have all you need. You&rsquo;ll also be plugged into feedback and training from our editing and media production team that will help guide your photography and videography as you continue growing and capturing client media.</li></ul> 

Requirements 
<ul><li>
Have videography &amp; photography experience: Have some experience shooting photography and videography content professionally (ex. weddings, commercials, corporate events, etc.) and have a strong working knowledge of professional mirrorless cameras (Canon preferred).</li><li>
Are a collaborator: Be an integral part of our creative team, which requires a range of talents to deliver our final product with high quality and timeliness.</li><li>
Can adapt to change: We need team members who adapt to change, are excited by new challenges, and are strong decision-makers while on the road. If there are ever two things that can change by the minute, it&rsquo;s travel and technology!</li><li>
Are consistent and persistent: Produce and return large quantities of impactful visual content in a timely manner that are continually adherent to our brand standards.</li><li>
Want to be an adventurer: This job will require regular travel, so be prepared to find yourself exploring cities around you! Typically, our Media Producers will travel to and from clients within a 200 mile radius Tuesdays through Thursdays. If elected travel opportunities are further than 200 miles, we will pay for an overnight stay, as well as offer a daily Meal Per Diem.</li><li>
Can handle physical demands: In this role you will be required to have a valid driver&rsquo;s license and vehicle transportation to travel to client shoots. You&rsquo;ll also need to be able to move up to 60 lbs. of equipment, be working and moving for several hours at a time, and occasionally work outdoors in the heat. On the roughest days, you&rsquo;ll be doing all of these things, all at the same time. Physical stamina is a must.</li><li>
Have a customer service mindset: You might be the only employee from RentVision that ever meets this client face-to-face, so your customer service skills must be top notch. We strive to provide a remarkable experience to our clients, so being on time, communicating well, and having a pleasant demeanor (even during tough shoots) is essential.</li><li>
Have a working knowledge of modern day communication tools: You&rsquo;ll constantly be on the road, but we will want to stay in touch! We use platforms like Zoom, Dropbox, Slack, and G-Suite to make sure we are all in sync. Experience in all of these platforms isn&rsquo;t a requirement, but you need to be somewhat tech savvy and able to learn quickly. If you have a hard time connecting to a new wifi network, this probably won&rsquo;t be a great fit.</li></ul> 

Benefits 
<ul>
<li>Pay includes a base hourly rate + mileage reimbursement + quality production bonus.</li>
<li>Top of the line equipment and training provided.</li>
</ul> 
About RentVision
RentVision was founded in 2009, after our Founder and CEO, David Watson, spent multiple weekends hunting for an apartment. After weeks of searching, he signed a lease on a unit he&rsquo;d never seen. Frustrated by this experience, David believed there had to be a better, easier way to confidently rent an apartment. This sparked the idea for a new innovation&mdash;the industry's first Walkthrough Video Tour. RentVision has been innovating, developing, and growing ever since.
Today, we operate in the multi-family marketing industry where we create software platforms, build websites, offer strategic advising, deliver media solutions, and travel the country sharing industry knowledge. We are part tech company and part full-service organization, combining the best of both worlds: excellent software solutions with remarkable client service. Learn more about our company at https://www.rentvision.com/our-company.
Our Purpose: To consider others as more important than ourselves.
Our Mission: To make renting apartments easy.
Our Vision for Our Clients: To deliver a predictive leasing platform that optimizes marketing and revenue management.
Our Vision for Prospective Residents: To help people rent an apartment without needing to drive anywhere.
Our Core Values:<ul>
<li>Be Remarkable - We use our intelligence, personality, and unique skills to deliver amazing results.</li>
<li>Systemize Excellence - We build and do what is excellent, efficient, and repeatable.</li>
<li>Considerate Candor - We seek and give direct feedback that is thoughtful and productive.</li>

Marketing Intern – Content Coordinator

McClatchy Media

<div>
 The Kansas City Star, winner of nine Pulitzer Prizes, is looking for a vibrant and dynamic journalist to spearhead a new initiative to cover Gen Z life and relationships.
 
 
 The Star is a dedicated, innovative newsroom determined to build the future of news &mdash; by fostering journalists, evolving our news coverage and building bridges within our community. It&rsquo;s the perfect space for a visionary journalist who can understand and represent Gen Z to help us demonstrate the vitality of local journalism in today&rsquo;s world.
 
 
 In this role, you should spend your days talking to Gen Z residents of Kansas City. You should get to know where they live, party, work, date, exercise, eat, socialize, shop and relax.
 
 
 Tell their stories. Highlight their problems. Reflect the things that matter most to them. Be their guide, their voice and their point of connection with their local community.
 
 
 Show the rest of Kansas City the way Gen Z works &mdash; their culture, their hangouts, their stories &mdash; and how this generation is changing the ways so many of us work, socialize and relate to one another.
 
 
 Of particular interest for coverage is the dating scene for young people in Kansas City and how relationships do and don&rsquo;t work in this modern age. We want you to tell the stories of people who are actively trying to find connection in 2026 &mdash; and the success stories of those who&rsquo;ve found it.
 
 
 Inspirational, laughable, gut-wrenching, eye-opening, disheartening, charming, helpful, even just starkly realistic &mdash; we want stories that run the gamut and hit the highs and lows of love today.
 
 
 A successful candidate for this role will bring many of their own ideas, an enthusiasm for all types of storytelling methods and a personality that will make their target audience want to connect with them. We want a journalist who understands that building a loyal audience around a topic requires publishing consistently and often.
 
 
 This staff member should meet The Star&rsquo;s high standards for accuracy, fairness and objectivity, and their experience and their work with us may take other forms than traditional news stories &mdash; think vertical video, first-person pieces, man-on-the-street interviews, photo or video essays, recurring columns, experiential journalism. We are ready and willing to break the mold for the right person and ideas that will fulfill our mission.
 
 
 Willingness to be on camera, ability to form fast relationships with sources, and a talent for engaging storytelling are the top qualifications for this role. Existing relationships and/or a following with this audience are a major plus.
 
 
 You should be able to write and make videos that show your personality, and listen constantly to what Gen Z needs and wants, hates and loves, knows and doesn&rsquo;t.
 
 
 With your reporting, you might help other residents of Kansas City understand their younger neighbors better and how the city is and isn&rsquo;t serving them. You can put issues of affordability, access, social connection, political disenfranchisement and social justice in perspective to help everyone in Kansas City see their home more clearly.
 
 
 While social media will obviously be a major facet of this role, our ultimate goal is to bring young people onto KansasCity.com and into the fold as loyal consumers. You should be able to balance those needs and create content that works on multiple platforms.
 
 
 You&rsquo;ll join a newsroom that is already full of young adults who are building their lives in Kansas City and are deeply passionate about informing their community. You will collaborate with a diverse group of reporters, photographers, video creators, audience strategists and editors to tell these stories and set the tone for The Star&rsquo;s future engagement with Gen Z.
 
 
 Kansas City is a vibrant, large city with a high quality of life &ndash; replete with iconic professional sports teams and a world-class arts scene &ndash; and a low cost of living. It&rsquo;s a fantastic place to put down roots, and this job offers the chance to contribute to its future.
 
 
 McClatchy Media&rsquo;s journalists are expected to take advantage of opportunities to ethically harness and leverage artificial intelligence and other automation to enhance and elevate their work and to find efficiencies that free them to focus on source-building and high-quality, deeply reported journalism.
 
 
 
 In This Role, You Will Need To
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Find, pitch and execute stories that build and engage local readership, especially among young people
 </li>
 <li>
 Write with power, verve and personality
 </li>
 <li>
 Build a network of sources to find unique stories that inform, delight and engage readers between the ages of 18 and 30 in Kansas City
 </li>
 <li>
 Come up with new story ideas constantly to keep the beat lively, innovative and engaging
 </li>
 <li>
 Master engaging multimedia storytelling, especially influencer-style vertical video, entertaining interviews and experiential pieces
 </li>
 <li>
 Respond in real time to the audience&rsquo;s needs, conversations and feedback
 </li>
 <li>
 Demonstrate strong writing, speed and SEO savvy
 </li>
 <li>
 Work well in a team environment, both virtually and in person
 </li>
 <li>
 Balance the needs of The Star to reach new readers, engage existing ones and drive loyalty that leads to revenue
 
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 The successful candidate should meet many of the following requirements:
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 An excellent pulse of what Gen Z needs and wants to hear about
 </li>
 <li>
 An ability to foster connections and get comfortable in various social spaces
 </li>
 <li>
 Interpersonal and interviewing skills that will help you break down barriers with strangers to find authentic, enlightening stories
 </li>
 <li>
 Familiarity with lifestyle journalism or other types of content creation that connect people to their community and culture
 </li>
 <li>
 Comfort with writing, video storytelling, social media, photography and research
 </li>
 <li>
 College degree or equivalent work experience
 </li>
 <li>
 At least 1-3 years of reporting, storytelling or content creation experience
 </li>
 <li>
 An innovative, experimental approach to the job that also allows for collaboration and engaging with others&rsquo; ideas
 </li>
 <li>
 Familiarity with the concepts of news judgments and other journalistic tenets to uphold standards of accuracy, fairness and objectivity
 </li>
 <li>
 A knowledge of digital and in-person gathering places for young adults and how to build connections in those spaces
 </li>
 <li>
 A demonstrated ability to see the stories that will matter to your audience
 </li>
 <li>
 Must have reliable transportation. Must have valid driver&rsquo;s license and vehicle insurance required (at least minimum insurance required for the state in which the employee works)

 Comfort with a job that will be demanding, fast-paced and constantly evolving as our region grows
