Job Description
About with:in with:in is a journaling app for iOS and Android, built around one simple ritual: a new question every day, and 15 minutes to answer it in your own words. It’s not a mood tracker. It’s not a productivity tool. It doesn’t score you, optimise you or turn your inner life into charts. You open the app, the question is waiting, and you write: little fragments or whole pages. Once a week, the app reflects back what you’ve been writing about, so you can notice your own patterns. Behind the questions are real psychological frameworks: expressive writing, the practice of putting feelings into words to understand them, and principles from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). We use AI, but in a controlled and ethical way. We’re exploring what human-centric AI can look like in something as personal as a journal. The app looks and feels more like a private notebook in a dark room than a wellness app. The brand is raw, intimate, tender and a little mysterious. It’s about the question, not the answer. We’re a two-founder studio in Amsterdam, and we’re launching publicly this December. We’re looking for a freelancer to shape and run our launch and post-launch marketing with us. Someone with a strong sense of creating and launching a brand. We don’t want to launch the way apps usually launch. We want something people feel part of: a community, a room, a ritual, not a funnel. What you’ll do — Build the launch and post-launch strategy, from now through early 2027 — Create and run content yourself (incl.short video content), working closely with our designer — Plan community moments, online and in real life (small evenings, physical objects, collaborations with writers and creators) — Find ways for people to share with:in that don’t feel like marketing — Run a small, careful paid budget where it makes sense Who we’re looking for — Experience with social media strategy and launching a product, ideally an app — Experience with events or physical brand activations — You write well. Our product is questions, so words matter as much as images — A strong sense of aesthetics, and an instinct for what’s real versus what’s performed — You’ve freelanced before. You take initiative, work independently and don’t wait to be told what’s next — You’ll actually use the app and learn it properly before you market it — Bonus: you journal, you’re part of the Amsterdam creative scene, you speak Dutch The details — Freelance, 5-10 hours per week — Start date: mid-November — Contract length: 2 months with a possibility of extension. — Remote / Amsterdam-based or able to be here for events — Rate: Let's chat How to apply Send us your work on LinkedIn OR [email protected], plus three short things: — a few lines on why with:in speaks to you — one unconventional idea for launching a journaling app without a big ad budget — one question you’d want to be asked at the end of a day Role: https://wi-th-in.com/job-marketing-consultant
