Wikkit Needs Marketing Interns!



Wikkit is looking for marketing interns at colleges across the country to help spread the word about our new event ticketing and social networking platform launching next month.

Wikkit interns will be responsible for market research about potential on and off campus partners/businesses as well as running events at college football games, bars and nightclubs.

Interested candidates should email Wikkit with their resume and a short (3-4 line) statement about why you'd be excited about working for Wikkit.

Wikkit featured in GoMo News!!!

Earlier today GoMo News published a feature story about Wikkit and how Wikkit is bringing low cost concert and event tickets to venues, colleges, bars and restaurants across the country.

The article focuses on Wikkit's current "tickets via text message" service (which also includes free drink and VIP club admission promos that can be texted to almost any cell phone) and previews the upcoming integration of a social networking platform into the ticketing software (all using wikkits).

Highlighting the fact that Wikkit is about more than just wireless/mobile tickets and social networking, the GoMo News article also drops the word about the upcoming iTunes release of The Wikkit Song (A Wikkit Changed My Life) by Sticky Wikkit on iTunes later this month.
