Marketing Manager for a Human-Centered Social Network Startup

Salary Unpaid

At Lifebonder, we’re on a mission to break social media addiction, fake personas, cyber-bullying, cancel culture, and loneliness by providing a Mesaverse that lives up to the promise of what social media can be: A safe place to facilitate human connections rather than replace them.

We want to make the world a better place by filling a growing need for direct socializing outside social media - connecting people in friendships that are human, profound, and meaningful. LifeBonder makes it easy for people to connect in a deeper reality through shared spaces, values, and goals because our vision is to build social bonds in real life.

If you live and breathe marketing and you have a proven track record, we need to talk. We’re looking for a flexible and versatile Marketing Manager who knows how to execute and who will be responsible for managing our marketing team. If you are a people person and team player who loves the rewarding challenge of building a brand and a community, we want to hear from you.

 

Note: It is an unpaid position to begin with but with the potential for equity!

 

Job Description

At LifeBonder, marketing is about understanding people — and building awareness about how our social media platform can satisfy their needs. We’re looking for an experienced and versatile Marketing Manager who is hungry to do this. Our ideal candidate has experience developing and especially executing marketing campaigns while at the same time managing and inspiring a team. You are comfortable with day-to-day marketing activities, as well as long-term strategy, thriving with tight deadlines and changing needs. To be successful in this role, you should have hands-on experience with web analytics tools and be able to turn creative ideas into effective communication and advertising projects.

Ultimately, you will help us build and maintain a huge community and a strong and consistent brand through a wide range of online and offline marketing channels.

Be aware that this is a remote position in the beginning, but that this position will be a combination of remote work vs office work once we establish our headquarters in Vejle.

Working at
LifeBonder

In the last decade we have seen the consequences of a growing disconnect between social media and real life - and the subsequent declining mental health among young adults. And we spend a quarter of our lives in virtual social systems according to Center for Human Technology, a think tank in California. Loneliness, social media addiction and the declining mental health in young adults, has formed the main focus for our team, to improve the quality of life for 18 – 40 years old young adults – especially 18 – 25-year-old adults. Loneliness and mental health issues gives rise to healthcare costs - in Denmark alone, 20% of working age people suffer from mental illness resulting in 25% of all healthcare costs. The business model of current social media growth engines is designed around consumerism and addiction as a profit-maximizing mechanism and is markedly anti-social and therefore due for a significant disruption - LifeBonder is that disruption. LifeBonder is putting the social into social media – or rather where it belongs, outside social media. That so many young people report lacking close real-life friendships and feel lonely despite existing competitors, clearly demonstrates failure to meet the market despite existing “social” platforms. LifeBonder is therefore filling this growing need for real life experiences outside social media platforms - battling the negative impact of social media and thereby increasing the quality of life for young adults. What differentiate us from other current social media platforms is our focus on supporting our users in their real life in the local area. We suggest shared interests, activities, locations and communities in the local area and motivate people to meet. LifeBonder: • supports people offline in the local area instead of keeping them online • have no additive elements – likes, followers, etc. • prevent social loneliness and isolation • is a safe space that allow the real “you” without need for pretending • has zero fake users accounts and zero fake news • protects users’ privacy - We do not sell user data nor track user behavior at all Last but not least this product will provide a new innovative friendship platform, make a positive impact in society and of course be a profitable business case!
