Undergraduate Marketing Intern – Sixth Hive (6 Months Minimum)

We don’t offer passive internships. This role is designed for undergraduates who are required by their university to complete a marketing placement and want to understand how marketing actually drives growth in a live business environment.

At Sixth Hive, you’ll be working on a platform built to help professionals and organisations turn connections into real opportunities. Your role is to support how we attract, engage, and convert users, from the first touchpoint to active participation.

What your day will look like
No two days are the same, but you can expect to be involved in a mix of execution, testing, and thinking. You might start your day reviewing performance from a campaign, what worked, what didn’t, and why. From there, you could be drafting social content, supporting email campaigns, or helping refine onboarding journeys.

You’ll also contribute to content creation (short-form video, posts, messaging), support outreach to partners or network leaders, and assist with event promotion and coordination. Some days will involve attending events, capturing content, and engaging with professionals directly, because understanding the audience is part of the job.

This is not a “task-only” role. You’ll be expected to bring ideas, test them, and learn quickly from real feedback in the market.

Qualifications

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment

What You Will Gain
Real-world experience working on a live product and growth strategy
Exposure to how marketing connects to business outcomes—not just outputs
Hands-on involvement in content, campaigns, analytics, and events
Direct mentorship and feedback to accelerate your learning
A portfolio of work you can actually stand behind

Question:
You have a £5K monthly budget for a 3-month campaign. What customer acquisition strategy would you implement to attract users to Sixth Hive?
