Trainee (m/w/d) - Influencer Marketing

Overview

Are you eager not just to dabble in social media, but fully immerse yourself in influencer marketing, sales, and campaign management? At MaxPlus, you’ll have the chance to develop not only marketing abilities but also grasp the full spectrum of the industry, from influencer communication and sales workflows to strategic campaign planning. Collaborate closely with others, learn how to structure deals, and cultivate an understanding of how successful partnerships are formed.

MaxPlus has been a performance-driven influencer marketing agency based in Wiesbaden for over six years, managing a network of more than 3,000 influencers across the DACH region and handling campaigns with a cumulative eight-figure media budget. We partner with selected D2C brands across diverse sectors, delivering data-driven campaigns focused on sales and relationship management.

Though our office is located in Wiesbaden, we operate fully digitally, offering a 100% remote work model—you choose your preferred workspace.

Currently, we are intentionally restructuring as a boutique agency with a small, dedicated team to simplify processes, refine our business model, increase employee autonomy, and encourage active participation over rigid hierarchies.
