Careers at SODME

We'd Rather Train You Than Hire a Résumé.

Most agencies want five years of experience for work they could teach in five weeks. We think that's backwards.

We take in interns, teach them properly, and keep the ones who are good. You'll work on real brands from your first week — not sample projects, not someone's practice account.

Why SODME

A Small Team, Real Work, Real Feedback.

  • Real brands from week one

    Established Indian businesses — retail, e-commerce, textile, jewellery and more. What you make goes live and gets measured.

  • See the whole system

    Strategy, content, creative, performance and e-commerce sit in one team. You'll learn how a campaign is actually built, not just your slice of it.

  • Feedback that teaches

    Your work is reviewed by senior marketers and by the founder. You'll hear why something worked, not only that it did.

  • No waiting your turn

    Small team, few layers. A good idea gets used whoever it comes from, and you'll see it through to the result.

How we hire

We Hire Interns First. On Purpose.

It is our preferred way to build the team. We'd rather teach someone our way of working than undo habits picked up elsewhere.

If you do well as an intern, we'd rather keep you than go looking for a stranger.

What interns actually do

  • Sit in on real strategy and review calls
  • Write, script, edit and design for live brands
  • Learn how campaigns are planned, tested and measured
  • Take ownership of a task, then of a brand's day-to-day

It suits you if you are

  • A student or recent graduate, any subject
  • Switching careers into marketing
  • Self-taught and looking for real work to prove it

Experienced roles

We Hire Experienced People Rarely. But We Do Hire Them.

If you are genuinely good at one of these, we want to see your work — not just your CV.

  • Video Editing

    Short-form and ad creative. You can cut for a hook, hold attention, and turn one shoot into many variations.

  • Strategy

    You can read a business, not just a dashboard — offer, audience, numbers — and turn it into a plan a team can execute.

  • Content

    Writing, scripting and content that sounds like the brand and makes someone stop. Clear beats clever.

Who does well here

What We Look For — And What We Don't.

This matters

  • Curiosity, and the habit of asking why
  • Taking feedback without taking it personally
  • Finishing what you start, on time
  • Writing clearly in simple English
  • Caring about the client's result, not just your task

This doesn't

  • The tier of your college
  • Your marks
  • A long list of tools on your CV
  • Knowing someone here
