Sports marketing isn't just about posting match highlights. It's about understanding a community, building a brand, and making people feel something before they even step on the court. The Walking Parrot is offering a full-time Marketing and Advertising Internship across three cities — and if you live and breathe both marketing and sport, this placement was built for you.
🏢 About The Walking Parrot
The Walking Parrot operates under the Tennis Club brand and runs across multiple locations in Europe. This internship is available in Lisbon, Porto (Portugal) and Warsaw (Poland) — you pick your city, you join the team, and you get to work on real marketing activity from day one.
