Looking for the next rockstar intern
We are looking for an amazing “intern” to support our team. We need a project acrobat who is wise in the ways of the force, a college student with fresh ideas and crazy stamina who is ready to put their communications courses to work in a real environment. In short, we want someone who is willing to do almost anything and learn the ins and outs of influencer marketing and media relations.
This is a fun industry where no two days are the same, so you’ll have the chance to get your hands in different types of projects and master a LOT quickly. Our team is dynamic, young and fiercely competitive (you’ll see that in office Foosball or C.O.D. matches), but we know how to enjoy ourselves while getting a lot accomplished.
Each intern will support two account executives on anywhere from 2 to 6 accounts, but should be flexible enough to adapt to new projects as needed. This internship is unpaid, so we highly encourage students to apply and coordinate with their college for course credit.
Qualifications:
* Able to work within dynamic start-up environment
* Fast learner and self-starting with impeccable organizational skills
* Extremely strong communications skills, especially written
* Strong academic standing
* Good understanding of consumer technology (video, mobile, etc) with a genuine interest in new trends in tech, media, and culture
* Good understanding of new media, including bloggers and social networks (e.g. you ARE the Twittersphere)
* Confident and articulate, yet brilliantly creative
* Brownie points to gamers, bloggers, torrentfreaks, pop culture geeks (extra bonus points if you can source the quote: “her?”)
* Work hard, play ball, listen, and learn
* Be professional, all the time
* The rest will be determined and crafted around the individual
Our office is in North Beach, close to several MUNI stops, great restaurants/bars, and fine entertainment establishments.

Client News: Pogoplug adds print!
Coming fast on the heels of their recent announcement of a new version of their Android application, Pogoplug has just made public a very exciting update to the product. Pogoplug has won a legion of fans with their dead-simple, couldn’t be easier-to-use personal cloud device. Giving users a secure, always available site for storage, music and video streaming, and automatic back-up, however, was not enough.
Now your Pogoplug will allow you to print, from any location and from any Internet device. Once a printer is connected to a Pogoplug, it becomes web-enabled and can accept print jobs from pretty much anything that can access the web or send an email, including iPads, iPhones, Android phones, Blackberry phones, you name it. And Pogoplug cloud printing will work with all HP printers and any Epson printer from 2005 on, and that is just to start.
The Pogoplug team is committed to not just making a great product, but also to constantly innovating for that device. Adding cloud printing to the Pogoplug takes it from the “great to have” category to simply indispensable.
Pogoplug announced the news via their blog this morning. Some press and bloggers have written about the announcement, listed below, and we’ll keep updating as they come in.

Welcome Jen!
After interning with Stage Two last winter, I am excited to start as a full time employee! During my time as an intern, I was able to experience a ton of different avenues in the consumer technology and marketing world. The opportunity to continue to learn more about consumer technologies and marketing is one I am thrilled to have!
I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and recently graduated from Saint Mary’s College of California in the east bay. I am an avid St. Mary’s sports fan (Go Gaels!) and like to read, travel, especially road trips, and edit pictures and video.
