Are you sartorially savvy? Do you love spreading the word about great shopping destinations? If you’re a male college student who answered these questions in the affirmative—or you know someone else who fits this profile—please read on:
AKIRA is an innovative men’s and women’s retailer based in Chicago. The company is a major player on the Windy City’s fashion scene and boasts a fast-growing national presence. Since its inception as a single women’s store in 2002, AKIRA has extended its influence to 14 boutiques in the Chicagoland area and an e-tail website (
http://www.shopakira.com). Although ShopAKIRA.com doesn't currently sell men's fashions, AKIRA's men's division runs a blog (
http://www.akirablog.com) that offers photo & video coverage of the men's stores' latest offerings.
As part of our mission to cultivate a reputation with fashion-forward individuals all over the country, we are seeking out male college students to serve as AKIRA Men's Campus Marketing Representatives. Over the course of the spring 2011 semester, Campus Marketing Reps will be asked to take on the following responsibilities:
-Approximately two marketing tasks a month (these may come in the form of in-person word-of-mouth tasks with other students on campus or viral marketing tasks completed online)
-Regular email correspondence with the members of AKIRA Chicago’s office
Reps will be compensated for their successful marketing efforts (i.e. increasing traffic to AKIRA’s online store at
http://www.shopakira.com) with rewards such as gift cards and clothes. Although the position is part-time and will not interfere with Representatives’ class schedules, it will provide them with valuable experience for future careers in the fashion industry and significantly enrich their resumés.
