Pixel wants YOU for Poniverse Public Relations!

[Simon 4,557]

 

Love MLP Forums?  Want to spread the word about Pony.fm?  Want to help out the Poniverse community grow?  If so, Poniverse Public Relations is looking for you!
 
For those of you that don't know, Poniverse Public Relations is the team that makes sure the whole world knows about Poniverse!  From managing all of Poniverse's social media to producing the Poniverse Newsletter, the PR staff works diligently to let everypony know about the best MLP communities on the internet!
 
And the PR team is looking to expand!  We're currently accepting applications for the following positions:

• Designer:  Poniverse Designers focus on just that: the visual design of Poniverse.  From creating advertisements to carefully crafting the visual appeal of our sites to best represent our brand, designers are masters of colors and layouts. If making Poniverse look pretty sounds awesome, this is the job for you! Interested applicants should include examples of their past design work with their application.
• Staff Artist:  A staff artist's job with Poniverse PR is to create artwork for a wide variety of Poniverse projects.  Job will include things such as drawing images of the mascots for promotional purposes and social media.  If you love to draw, this job is for you!  If interested, please include examples of artwork, such as a link to a dA gallery, that are representative of the work quality you would be providing to Poniverse.
• Facebook Representative:  As a social media liaison, you'll be responsible for posting content to Poniverse's Facebook pages. Social media liaisons are expected to take initiative in boosting Poniverse's reach and appeal on social media.  If you love Facebook and want to help the community grow, this is the job for you!  Applicants will be asked to provide a sample post for our Facebook page.
• Staff Writer:  As Poniverse's Staff Writer, you'll be the guy writing things like this post so that it sounds really good! Have you been rolling your eyes at the repetitive style of this post?  Did you notice a certain typo in the name of everypony's favorite mascot? Think you could spice up a seemingly mundane announcement? If so, this is the jo... uh, position for you! Be sure to include a sample Q&A announcement with your application!
• Newsletter Writer (Pony.fm):  Like writing, but want something a bit different than press releases?  We're also looking for a new writer for our Newsletter staff!  This position will be focused on writing articles pertaining to fan-art on Poniverse, especially features about Pony.fm artists. Anybody who loves writing and listening to music would be an ideal applicant. Applicants must include a sample newsletter article featuring a Pony.fm artist with their application.
• Other:  Have a unique idea for how you could help Public Relations?  We're all ears!  If you have something unique to offer that we haven't thought of, let us know your idea!

Applications can be submitted here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1sDLm84tCTGNvB5K1lrjbeMUyhoqcv6r57sbHvUmHVn4/viewform
 
Positions will be filled as qualified applicants are found, so it is highly recommended that you apply early.  Applications will remain open until all positions are filled which we anticipate happening within the month.

Some notes to keep in mind with all positions on Poniverse PR:

• All PR staff must be willing to use Skype text chat regularly. This is where nearly all of the work related discussion on PR happens.  Voice/Video chat are rarely used and will never be required, but you must be willing to actively participate in Skype discussions via text.
• PR works in events and announcements regularly that require sensitive timing, and as a result there is information you will learn in this position that you will not be able to reveal to others.  All PR staff will be expected to maintain discretion.
• PR staff is Poniverse's front line in representing our network to the rest of the fandom. As a result, while silliness is a big part of the job, all PR staff are expected to act professionally and take care in how they represent Poniverse.

If you have any concerns about these three conditions, please ask before applying!
 
And if you have any questions at all about hiring, those can be posted below, or directed to Simon via PM.

 

 

UPDATE 11/14/15:

 

We will also be accepting applications for a new Twitter representative now as well.  If you would like to be considered for the Twitter position, please submit an application under the "Other" category and specify Twitter rep and include a sample tweet or two in the Facebook writing assignment section.  Thanks guys!

^better than anything that the other guy could do

[PROJECT: Simon 3,954]

We'll be seeing more staffs, getting hyped~ <3 

[Melke 160]

>.< this would be nice to do for experience wise (I am a student graphic designer)

 

But my time difference might be too much to get any discussion going with me.

 Don't worry about that, we have PR staff all around the globe (and a PR head that likes to stay up until 5 am )

[Melke 160]

@@Simon,

 

Okay, I will try and apply! I do want the experience (must level up)

 

I just hope that what I have is sufficient as I have not done too much in terms of PR. 

[Glike 487]

Well, the Staff Writer position seems right up my alley! I've always had a knack for improving what could be improved, and just plain writing in general.

 

You can definitely expect an application from me!

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,608]

I detect new people incoming. I must brace myself. *prepares cupcake/video-game fortress*

 

That fortress is for welcoming purposes you see. :3

@Simon May I ask what it means by "write a sample post"?

Ha! Well, 'twould certainly be an experience, but I imagine my writing would be a bit different than the ideal style of a Staff Writer. I may well just toss in some bits and hope for the best, though. Now, where is that magical fountain...?

[Primarch Fulgrim 163]

Here's to me trying to make it in. (Drinks bleach)

 

Goin' for the gold people. Gotta try at least, right?

I drew some amazing Pixel Wavelength pictures. Think it would be amazing at getting people on here.

[Standard User 2,127]

*cough* I'm only slightly interested in this. Slightly.

 

...slightly. 

 

I'd have to gun for a writing position, obviously. Probably Staff Writer, since I like...y'know, doing that stuff.

[CheeryFox 23,821]

Good luck to every one of ya! 

[Jokuc 8,174]

I don't think I'll be applying for this. I study digital design at college and I've done a bunch of stuff for Poniverse before (ads, badges, emotes, 10000000 million signatures, banners, helped with layouts)  but I'm not really the kind of guy who likes obligations. If there was a place for someone who would help out when he feels for it, then I'd gladly apply ...But spending my evening creating a layout for ponyroleplay when I actually just feel for watching a movie doesn't really sound fun to me. Obligations with rewards okay, but if I'm going to do it of my own will I also want to choose when to do it.

 

 

PS. It's wavelength, not "wavelengh".

[Abadon 69]

Well, i generally only use around 3 hours of internet per day, but the post said that they want ME, so I'm pretty sorry 4 saying no.

[Primarch Fulgrim 163]

When do you estimate that things will be done and new staff announced?

 

I just want to know cuz the anticipation, I may or may not want the staff writer spot, a bit. 

[Starlight Fan 538]

Pixel wants me? Oh dear. I don't know if I can...

 

I need experience anyway. Oh wait, I need experience to sign up...

 

oh very dear

Update: handed in form, saw the word "interview", instantly went "oh no what have I done"

 

I am afraid of interviews hope I get the spot *awkwardly laughs*

[Ecntrix 86]

Applied for Staff Writer. Not a fan of interviews, but anything to get the position! I am newer, but I can hopefully get it. And it looks like I have to get  Skype. XD

Edited October 29, 2015 by Ecntrix

[Jeric 46,852]

Interviews really aren't that scary here. Just be genuine.

[Shadow Beam 1,179]

*When you consider to apply but then realize that you're nothing but a mundane pubescent pleb with irrelevant responsabilities to fulfill prior to embarking onto such a project*

 

 

 

 

Honestry though, I'll try to tie up some loose ends with school and such. If it is allowed for someone my age, I may try to give it a go.

Apologies for the picture above, but I had the necessity to draw something dumb
