Marketing Manager

LIVEY · Madison, WI, USA ·

Job type:
Full Time

Location: University of Wisconsin–Madison — Madison, Wisconsin

Positions Available: Hiring 2–3 students

Start Date: Mid-August 2026

Term: Fall 2026 semester

Help Bring LIVEY to Madison

LIVEY is a video-first dating app created to challenge everything people dislike about modern dating apps.

No spending weeks messaging someone before finding out there is no chemistry.

No treating dating like scrolling through a catalog.

LIVEY connects people through short, live video speed dates so they can talk face-to-face before deciding whether to match.

Our goal is simple:

The University of Wisconsin–Madison will be one of the first college campuses where LIVEY builds a dedicated launch strategy.

We are looking for 2–3 Campus Marketing Managers who want real ownership over how that launch happens.

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

THIS IS NOT A ROLE FOR SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO WAIT FOR INSTRUCTIONS.

You will not receive a weekly list telling you exactly where to stand, what to post, what to say, and what to do.

We are looking for people who think:

What could work?

Who should we talk to?

What would students actually care about?

How do we make this feel exciting instead of corporate?

How do we get hundreds of students to join at the same time?

How do we build momentum across a campus as large and social as Wisconsin?

You will have the freedom to develop your own campus growth strategy with direct guidance from LIVEY’s founder.

You will be encouraged to experiment, move quickly, and take ownership.

This role is not about following a marketing plan someone else wrote.

It is about helping write the plan.

Good ideas will not sit in a queue for three months. If you develop a strong concept, we may be testing it within days.

What You Could Build
Potential campaigns may include:

Greek life competitions

Residence hall challenges

Student organization partnerships

Campus creator campaigns

TikTok and Instagram content

Launch events

Referral competitions

Tables or booths at campus activities

Flyers, QR codes, posters, and branded merchandise

Partnerships with bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and local businesses

Promotions tied to major campus events

Collaboration with student leaders

Outreach to professors, entrepreneurship programs, marketing classes, and student consulting groups

Classroom projects using LIVEY as a real startup case study

Product feedback sessions with students

Campaigns focused on specific communities or student groups

Completely new ideas that fit Madison better than anything we could design remotely

What You Will Learn
You will gain practical experience in:

Startup growth

Campus marketing

User acquisition

Community building

Creator marketing

Brand positioning

Campaign testing

Performance measurement

Product feedback

Communicating directly with a startup founder

Building campaigns with limited resources

LIVEY is an AI-first company.

We use AI to challenge ideas, develop strategies, improve messaging, analyze campaign performance, and work faster.

You will learn how AI can support real marketing decisions while still relying on human creativity, judgment, relationships, and execution.

Who We Are Looking For
We want students who are:

Creative

Socially aware

Passionate about marketing, entrepreneurship, startups, or technology

Comfortable meeting new people

Willing to take ownership

Able to move from idea to action

Connected to campus life

Interested in changing how people date

Excited by uncertainty rather than intimidated by it

Comfortable testing ideas that may not always work

You do not need years of experience.

You do need energy, initiative, judgment, creativity, and a real interest in what LIVEY is building.

Compensation and Benefits
The role includes:

A small stipend

Commission based on verified users

Bonuses for successful events and campaigns

LIVEY Premium for life

Direct mentorship from LIVEY’s founder

A professional reference

Résumé and portfolio experience based on real campaigns and measurable results

Priority consideration for future paid roles

The opportunity to help shape LIVEY’s broader campus and national growth strategy

LIVEY will cover approved costs for campaigns, promotional materials, event expenses, merchandise, printing, and other launch needs.

The strongest Campus Marketing Managers may be considered for expanded leadership opportunities as LIVEY enters additional schools.

The strategy created in Madison may become part of how LIVEY launches nationally.

Why LIVEY Exists
Modern dating apps have made it easier to see more people but harder to genuinely meet them.

LIVEY exists because we believe human connection should not begin with an endless swipe.

It should begin with a conversation.

If you want to help build a company that puts real interaction back at the center of dating, this is your opportunity to be involved at the beginning.
