Content and Marketing Intern Job Description

About the Organization

Salt Lick Incubator is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that supports emerging musicians with grants, songwriting camps, collaborative opportunities, strategy, communication, marketing support, data analytics, and a YouTube platform. The Salt Lick Incubator aims to be a supportive community of artists operating within an exploitation-free ecosystem of partners who help young artists discover pathways to sustainable careers. 

Music is one of the most powerful tools we have to help people understand, hear, and embrace one another. To support the music-making of our emerging artists is to further a humane approach to one another and the world around us—particularly valuable in light of the division and fractiousness we see in the world.
