Experienced trademark and design attorney

Online marketing communications intern
Distinctiveness is one of the most important requirements for registering a trademark. However, distinctiveness is also essential in communication. How does a company position itself? What are the internal expectations and what are the expectations of the outside world and how can (online) communication be used in this regard. Abcor is a legal firm which advises companies in the field of goodwill protection. We do this in an unorthodox way. In our communication, we try to communicate this different approach as clearly as possible (both in terms of content and visually).
Abcor offers you a unique inside look. How was communication deployed to become a major player in Europe within a short period of time? How the company deployed online activities in recent years and how the company expects online communication to develop in the coming years.
At Abcor you are given a lot of responsibility which gives you the opportunity to develop your personal and professional skills. Because you are involved from the beginning in setting up how to incorporate online communication into the current communication plan, you really get the opportunity to give it a personal touch.
For example, as an intern you will be responsible for, or provide support for:
- maintenance of the Abcor websites
- website optimization and increase traffic to the websites
- How can social media be used by an IE office
- what social media are important to the business
- how to incorporate social media into the current communication plan
