Marketing & Partnerships Intern Tourism Event (Paid, 6 weeks)

About the work

The Rongjeng Welfare Foundation is a non-profit working on rural development and community welfare across Meghalaya and Assam. We organise Shyntor Festival, a three-day music and culture festival held in Shyntorbulia village, Ri Bhoi, on 10–12 December 2026, with over 7,000 visitors expected.

For this year's edition we are publishing a printed tourist souvenir — a foldable, full-colour map of the Guwahati–Shillong circuit covering 40 tourist spots from Kaziranga to Dawki, with a matching web edition on guwahati.com and shillong.com. 10,000 copies will be distributed at the festival and across the corridor through the year.

We need four interns — two in Shillong, two in Guwahati — to sell advertising space in it and to research sponsorship leads.

What you will do

• Build a list of around 150 prospective advertisers in your city: hotels, resorts, restaurants, tour operators, retail, hospitals, education and corporates
• Contact them by phone, email and in person, and present the souvenir
• Close advertising bookings at published rates, collect artwork and payment
• For larger sponsorship opportunities, research the right decision-maker in each company and set up a meeting for our senior team — you will sit in on those meetings
• Keep the prospect tracker updated daily
• Join a 15-minute team stand-up each morning
