The Opportunity

We are a fast-growing digital marketing agency that works across dozens of industries, from home services and healthcare to legal and real estate. We are looking for a curious, driven Market Research Analyst to join our team on a part-time or internship basis. This is not a passive data-entry role. You will own real research projects that directly shape the strategy and content our team uses every day. Your findings will inform how we position clients, write better copy, and win new business.

• Surface keyword opportunities, ideal marketing channels, and strategic options including local market factors
• Build and deepen buyer personas using sources such as the U.S. Census Bureau (ACS), Pew Research Center, and industry publications
• Research demographic makeup, average budgets, income ranges, and psychographic drivers for key customer segments
• Translate raw data into clear, actionable insights that writers and strategists can apply immediately
• Research best practices for agency deliverables including case studies, press releases, and blog content
• Identify emerging formats, citation benchmarks, and audience expectations by content type
• Assist with gathering client quotes, testimonials, and data points to support case study development

Requirements

• Excellent written communication skills with the ability to translate complex findings into clear summaries

Why This Role Matters

Good research is the foundation of everything we do at Intellibright. When we understand an industry deeply, we write better content, build smarter strategies, and win more for our clients. When we do not, everything downstream suffers. This role exists because we take research seriously. We want someone in this seat who is genuinely curious, rigorous in their process, and proud of getting the answer right. If that is you, the work you do here will shape how we serve clients across dozens of industries. If you are excited by the idea of becoming an expert in industries you have never worked in, and helping a real agency perform better because of what you find, we would love to meet you.

Culture and Expectations

• Hybrid role with in-office presence required Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; Tuesday and Thursday are flexible
• Fast-moving environment with real ownership and clear expectations from day one
• Collaborative teams that value clarity, accuracy, and doing the work right
• 16+ years of profitable, self-funded growth
