The Digital Launchpad is a selective remote internship and mentorship experience designed to help ambitious women gain real-world digital marketing skills, hands-on experience, industry exposure and career confidence, without spending thousands of dollars figuring it out alone.
Built for women who are ready to learn, grow, execute and actually take this seriously.
The internet is full of people “teaching” digital marketing.
But watching random tutorials and downloading free PDFs is not the same thing as structure, mentorship, accountability and real-world experience. That’s where most people get stuck. The Digital Launchpad was created to bridge that gap. This program gives ambitious women the opportunity to:
And yes, it’s completely remote.
You could be a student, business owner, freelancer, stay-at-home mom or career switcher, and through this program, you can learn from anywhere in the world.

This program was designed for women who are willing to learn, show up, take initiative and grow. We're not looking for ‘the perfect’ and no prior expertise is needed.
What's required is your commitment, consistency and a willingness to improve. If you’re looking for something to “try casually,” this isn’t it. If you’re ready to grow? Keep reading.

This isn’t surface-level exposure. You’ll actually do the work and it’s real work.

Over the years, Launchpad interns have gone on to build real careers, grow their businesses, strengthen their confidence, gain hands-on industry experience, become mentors, join professional teams, and create meaningful opportunities for themselves instead of waiting for one to magically appear.
The fact that we cannot accept everyone is probably no surprise to you. Each batch consists of about 15 interns, who are selected not because of their achievements or expertise but for other reasons. The majority of those factors are known only to the panel that will screen your application, but there are some requirements you should be aware of, which are outlined below.
You must have a good understanding and use of English. You must be able to communicate effectively in writing and verbally. Digital marketing is mostly writing so I’m sure you can see how it’s a deal breaker for us if that’s something you struggle with.
PS: Poor use of English is the no.1 reason half of our applications don’t make it to the next stage.
As this is program where we’ll teach you too, you don’t have to be an expert in social media, but you will need a basic understanding of how it works. Due to the vast amount of ground, we have to cover over the course of this program, some basics may not be covered e.g How to create a Facebook account. How to navigate LinkedIn etc.
It is important for interns to be sharp and not technically challenged. In digital marketing, technology is an integral component, so if you dislike technology, this program may not be right for you. No task will be assigned to you without guidance but, a tech-savvy personality is a plus. It is also important to be open to doing research because you will encounter assignments and tasks that require it.
We need your 100% commitment to learning and implementing. Despite being accepted into the program, we will drop you and replace you with someone else if you start slacking. We’ve had interns who dropped off even in the 4th month, so being serious at the beginning and slacking later on won’t help you. Many people need this opportunity, and we can’t allow unserious people to waste it.
You must be someone who can dedicate a few hours each day to do your tasks. If you are not able to do this, please don’t apply. Don’t apply if you’re a busy person. We will do everything within our power to keep you accountable but, we will not chase you to do what you’re supposed to do. Please do not apply if you have no control over your schedule or time. This simply means that you are not eligible for this internship program. You can sign up for the 6 months of paid coaching with me, let’s plan the program around your schedule.
When it comes to interactions with other people, the one thing I absolutely detest is people who don’t keep their word or keep to their time. It would be a waste of time for you to apply if you’re that type of person because you wouldn’t enjoy having me as your coach. There will be no room for excuses from you. Although we all have a limited amount of time every day, I need you to understand that we give our time to what is important to us. You’ll show up on time if this internship matters to you! My expectations are that you will be punctual and present when it’s time for our meetings or sessions and that you will meet all the deadlines for your tasks & assignments. I won’t tolerate excuses.
Is it still necessary for me to tell you that this internship isn’t for you if you don’t listen to simple instructions? My promise to you is that you won’t be given tasks you’ve never been taught how to do and you’ll be given guidance when you need it. The important thing is to follow the instructions. It’s one thing to be given instructions; it’s another to follow them diligently. e.g It’s important that intending interns submit their applications before midnight on the deadline. This means that applicants who submit their applications by 12:01am the next day will not be considered.

The goal has never been to simply “teach skills.”
The goal is to help ambitious women grow into confident, capable digital professionals.

I almost didn't make it into the program because i signed up late but God really wanted me here. Research and design were one of my highlights from the program. It was stressful but sooo much fun!
From the application to the main program, everything is structured. Coach Oma is a master planner and executor and while you work with her, it must rub off on you. What I learnt and the value I got from TDL is not something that I could have easily paid for. I'm really grateful.
When I started the internship, I thought I knew digital marketing . I had to unlearn and relearn during the program. Beyond digital marketing, I've learnt a lot from this internship. I'm more confident, I comunicate better and thanks to the tasks Coach Oma gives inside the program, even my public speaking skills have really improved. I'm so grateful that I signed up to this internship program.
