Intern in strategic social media advertising

17. september 2026 Searchmind Job

Create strong results through data-driven Paid Social

Targeted advertising, strong visual angles and high-performing campaigns that create measurable results. At Searchmind, you combine knowledge of social platforms, audience insights and data-driven optimisation to build Paid Social strategies that grab attention and drive growth for our clients across platforms such as Meta (Facebook & Instagram), TikTok, LinkedIn and Pinterest.

You get to experiment and dig deep in a fast-paced environment where the path from idea and setup to live results is short. From campaign structure, audience segmentation and ad creative testing to budget management and ongoing optimisation, you learn to create data-driven advertising for modern platforms, always with a focus on top data quality, ROAS and real results.

The Paid Social internship

Paid advertising on social media is one of the most dynamic and effective tools in digital marketing. At Searchmind, we combine creative concepts, an understanding of the algorithms and advanced data tracking into strong, performance-driven solutions that create strong visibility and direct conversions for our clients.

As a Paid Social Intern, you get the chance to develop your skills across the full range of social advertising. You will work side by side with our experienced Paid Social specialists and get to grips with the latest AI tools for ad creation. You will be part of the whole process, from the initial campaign strategies, budget allocation and angle testing to setup, A/B testing and ongoing reporting on client performance.

You quickly gain hands-on experience, real responsibility for your own ad accounts and plenty of freedom to try new ad formats and analysis methods and build a strong professional profile.

Your tasks, in broad strokes:

  • Campaign setup: Create, structure and manage paid campaigns across Meta Ads Manager, TikTok Ads Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager and more.

  • Audiences & segmentation: Build audience analyses, custom audiences and retargeting flows based on client data.

  • Creative testing & briefing: Analyse which ad creatives perform best, and spar with our creative team on new hooks, angles and ad formats.

  • Budget & performance optimisation: Monitor, adjust and optimise budgets, bid strategies and ROAS day to day.

  • Data & reporting: Analyse campaign results using the platforms' own tools and Google Analytics 4 to draw concrete insights.

  • Trend spotting & AI: Stay up to date on the latest trends in social media algorithms, new ad formats and AI tools for advertising.

What can you expect from us?

Your internship is built on a focused and inspiring programme where we put your learning curve into high gear from day one. It is a carefully chosen mix of knowledge, training, hands-on tasks and sparring. At the same time, there is room to tailor the programme to your wishes and ambitions.

As an intern at Searchmind, you can look forward to:

  • A tailored development programme with a dedicated mentor from the Paid Social team.

  • A strong group of fellow interns to spar with and share experiences with along the way.

  • The latest knowledge, professional sparring and hands-on workshops in Paid Social, AI, e-commerce and digital marketing.

  • Great office facilities in Aarhus C with a lunch scheme (free for interns), fresh fruit, snacks and good coffee.

  • Exciting tasks and performance-driven cases for both Danish and international companies.

Are you the one we are looking for?

You are a student on a relevant programme, for example marketing management, digital commerce, international sales and marketing, communication or similar. You are passionate about paid marketing, spend plenty of time on social media and are curious about what makes people stop and click on an ad.

We expect you to have plenty of drive and be ready to jump into an internship where you get real responsibility and a steep learning curve.

We imagine that:

  • You know about, or have a strong interest in, social media (especially Meta and TikTok) and are keen to get to know the Business Managers.

  • You understand how strong visual messages and data-driven analysis work together.

  • You are structured, good with numbers and enjoy working analytically with performance data.

  • You are proactive, outgoing and ready to test your professional wings.

Internship terms:

  • Duration: The internship runs for 2 x 10 weeks. The last 10 weeks include 2 writing days per week dedicated to your final project. We require that you complete the full programme, not just the first 10 weeks, so you get the most out of it.

  • Language: We are currently only looking for Danish-speaking students.
