Animafest Experience is taking a digital marketing intern into its Costa Barcelona office for three months from 28 September 2026, and applications close on 21 September 2026. At Youth Works Hub, we went through the listing so you can see the actual task list, the language expectation and what the placement does and does not cover before the short window closes.
This is a marketing placement inside a mobility organisation, which means the campaigns you run are aimed at students and partner institutions rather than at consumers. If you want SEO and content work on your CV with measurable output, the task list here is unusually concrete.
The Organisation Behind the Placement
With over 20 years of experience, Animafest Experience has dedicated itself to making its students' dreams a reality. The Animafest Experience online platform carries out the monitoring, execution and development of strategic and support processes for students, companies and institutions, in order to provide an efficient and effective service.
🌊 The office sits in Palafolls, on the Costa Barcelona stretch of the Catalan coast, north of the city itself.
🎓 The organisation's core business is placing and supporting international students, so the marketing you produce feeds directly into that pipeline.
The Task List in Full
The listing spells out the work rather than describing a vague marketing role.
🔗 Developing and managing link building and content marketing strategies.
🚀 Innovating and introducing new marketing platforms and campaigns.
📝 Blog management, creating and updating engaging international content.
📱 Social media marketing, promoting the organisation across platforms.
📧 Prospecting and outreach, designing marketing materials and managing email campaigns.
💬 Communicating with clients via WhatsApp, follow up calls and emails.
🗂️ Assisting with student documentation and database management.
🔎 Optimising content for search engine optimisation.
📣 Creating and sending group messages and broadcasts.
Two of those are worth flagging before you apply. Client communication happens by phone as well as by message, and part of the week goes to student documentation and database work rather than to creative output.
What the Placement Gives You
📈 Practical experience in digital marketing inside a working organisation.
🧠 Stronger SEO, content creation and social media management skills.
🌍 An international and dynamic working environment.
📄 Marketing experience on a CV that otherwise shows only coursework.
Hours, Dates and Duration
🗓️ The placement starts on 28 September 2026.
⏳ It runs for three months.
🕘 The commitment is full time at 40 hours a week.
📌 The listing is published as an apprenticeship under vocational training, with the Erasmus+ traineeship programme named as the framework.
Money and Accommodation, Stated Honestly
💸 The placement is unpaid. The funding route is the Erasmus+ mobility grant you arrange through your own university.
🏠 Accommodation finding assistance is provided to help with your stay in Spain, which means help looking, not a room paid for by the host.
🌐 An internet connection and training support are listed among the benefits.
According to Youth Works Hub's review of this listing, the distinction between accommodation provided and accommodation assistance is the one candidates misread most often, and on the Catalan coast in autumn it is the difference between a manageable budget and a stressful one.
Language and Level
🗣️ The working languages listed are English and Spanish.
🎓 The placement is open at short cycle, bachelor's and master's level.
🧾 No prior experience is required, which is consistent with the organisation's other placements.
The Tools You Would Actually Use
🛠️ Google Workspace, including Docs, Sheets and Maps.
🎨 Canva for design output.
📲 Instagram and WhatsApp as working channels rather than personal apps.
🤖 ChatGPT and other AI tools, which the listing names explicitly among the tools of the role.
Eligibility
🇪🇺 The listing states that it can host only candidates who do not require an additional work visa, which means EU and EEA residents or people with existing residency.
📋 Beyond that, the requirements are the language pair, the study level and the willingness to work across marketing and administrative tasks.
How to Apply
Applications go directly to the organisation by email, and the listing also invites contact through WhatsApp. With the closing date this close to the start date, a short, specific message naming your availability window will move faster than a long letter. Mention which part of the task list you are strongest in, since the role spans SEO, content, outreach and database work.
