Sony Crackle Business Development and Partnerships Internship - Summer 2018
OVERVIEW:
The Sony Crackle Clips Business is responsible for handling the distribution, syndication and marketing utilization of short form content across Sony Pictures Entertainment’s (SPE) worldwide divisions. This involves managing SPE’s relationship with YouTube and curating our 200+ channel in-studio MCN, and maintaining our fan-uploaded content network that generates 7B+ views per year and is constantly expanding. Additionally, we specialize in establishing and maintaining partnerships within and outside the studio with a focus on leveraging SPE’s intellectual property for marketing value and revenue. We collaborate and support a multitude of groups within the studio, including production, marketing, corporate development and content protection.
Our small group operates on the front lines of a constantly evolving digital landscape, and presents an opportunity for invaluable exposure to digital media distribution, content management and business development.
