Easy Event Planning Internships
Easy Event Planning LLC (EEP) has one of the top internship programs in the country. We offer unprecedented internships in digital marketing, hospitality/event management, sales, HR, and database management. Students majoring in marketing, creative writing, business management, hospitality, leadership and entrepreneurialism, in particular, love our digital marketing internship.
Our entire program is built around optimizing student resumes. Our interns have gone on to work for Fortune 500 companies (including Amazon), secure highly competitive paid internships, land incredible full-time jobs, and gain entry into graduate school as a direct result of what they learned here.
Our flexible, fully virtual internships allow students to learn and grow in a warm, fun, supportive environment. We’ve been successfully hosting virtual interns and developing leaders for 15 years. Student set your own hours and name then own end dates. Many students will have the opportunity to secure leadership roles.
Our positions are highly competitive and limited in number. We are looking for go-getters who will take initiative and learn everything they possibly can. Students must be engaged and take initiative for a virtual internship to work.
EEP is a socially conscious technology company that is changing the way people plan events. We have the fastest-growing event planning site in the United States. The site is poised to become very high-profile in the coming years.
Our spring 2022 session kicks off January 24th.
Digital Marketing Internship (includes Creative Writing, Leadership, Entrepreneurialism)
We are in a unique position, due to the rapid growth of our site, to offer students something they can’t find anywhere else – results on their resumes that can blow employers away. Our top-performing students have resumes that rival those 10 years out of college.
Digital marketing changes too rapidly to be effectively taught in traditional classroom settings. Search engine optimization is still arguably the most important tool in the marketing toolbox, yet almost no schools teach a proper course in SEO. Gaining not only knowledge but skills and measurable success in SEO can set students apart significantly from other job seekers.
Over 130 students have achieved page 1 placement for at least one keyword; some have done so for 80 keywords. Each team is assigned a digital marketing coach who will oversee your work and provide one-to-one feedback.
Exceptional students are given the opportunity to stay on for an additional semester and coach. Coaches learn advanced skills and strategies.

Your major may also play a role in team assignments, as we try to have a variety of majors on the same team when possible.
You are assigned to one team at a time but you can volunteer for short-term projects that involve working with people from multiple teams.
Team leaders and assistant team leaders are initially chosen based on prior leadership experience and an interview with the CEO. During the semester, we look at the recommendations of team leaders to suggest students for leadership roles.
