Unlimited Vacation (FT)
We measure output, not desk time. We trust you to do your best work and take a break when you need it.
Technology Budget
Get the technology you need to do your job. Let us know and we’ll provide it or full time employees can receive a stipend to buy their own.
Awesome Location
Our office is in the historic Haymarket District in Lincoln. We’ll cover parking, plus who doesn’t love exposed brick?
Competitive Pay
Being a young company doesn’t mean we’re cheap. We want to hire the best and we know you’re worth it.

We are looking for a kickass content marketing intern to join the Simple Strat team!

Duties will also include content promotion and collaboration with industry experts.
Marketing is not a one-stop project, but encompasses every part of the brand experience. This is as important in our client companies as it is in our own.
Great marketing begins with enthusiasm. We’re excited about what we do and this shows in every interaction.
We are fiercely committed to our clients’ success, and we truly care about every relationship—from our team and clients to vendors and contractors.
Marketing is always changing. We’re hungry to learn and never afraid to dig in and discover new things.
Communication is key, but it needs to be concise and compelling. Use words wisely and be straightforward. Clear expectations pave the way to greater creativity.
All team members—no matter their level or title—are vaults of amazing ideas. The company gets better when you share all your ideas, not just the ones you think will work.
