Right on Broadway: Branding & Marketing for a New York Health-Tech Startup

Working on Broadway might sound like a movie trope, but at Hello Sono LLC (1204 Broadway), it is simply the daily routine. This is an environment where ultrasound solutions are developed to simplify clinical workflows. For students looking to truly understand the US market, this is a prime opportunity to help build a young brand from the ground up. You won’t be watching from the sidelines here; you will be taking an active role in driving the brand’s visual identity.

The Role & Environment

In close coordination with the management team, you will handle projects that project the brand to the outside world. This isn’t about busy work—it’s about real-world impact:

  • Marketing: You will refine the brand guide and manage active campaigns within HubSpot.
  • AI Tools: You will implement AI applications to streamline marketing workflows.
  • Housing: Since this is a Manhattan-based position, no housing is provided. However, you will receive guidance and tips on how to navigate the New York housing market.

Your Career Benefit

This position serves as a Portfolio Builder. While it is unpaid, the high-level references you gain will open doors at major agencies or tech firms later on. A letter of recommendation coming directly from a New York startup is a powerful asset for any international resume.
