PUBLIC RELATIONS INTERN
Poston Communications
Atlanta
Poston Communications LLC is an Atlanta-based public relations agency that serves professional services firms throughout the Southeast. Our clients include law and accounting firms, interior designers, consultants, non-profit associations and other service-oriented organizations.
We are seeking a public relations intern who is currently enrolled in a public relations, marketing or other related program, preferably with at least junior class standing. We are flexible in terms of start/end dates to accommodate the right candidate’s academic schedule.
The individual must demonstrate the ability to undertake basic public relations writing assignments, and posses an understanding of basic media relations skills, an ability to interact professionally with clients, and use good judgment. Because we are a small agency with six employees, there is a tremendous opportunity for a self-starter to gain valuable experience working hands-on with our team to achieve excellent results for our clients.
While this is an unpaid internship, we welcome the opportunity to tailor the program to a school’s requirements for on-the-job class credit. The intern should anticipate between 15 to 30 hours weekly, but the schedule and hours are flexible for the right candidate. The intern will provide support on a variety of projects, including:
- Drafting basic public relations materials, including news releases, media alerts, fact sheets, client meeting summaries, status reports and other materials.
- Attending and participating in client meetings, media training sessions, presentations, and brainstorming sessions.
- Developing and updating media lists and other databases, including client, marketing, prospect and administrative databases.
- Assisting with administrative duties, and managing newspaper and periodical inventories.
- Supporting the firm staff with client, business development and firm management projects.
To apply, please email a cover letter, resume and at least two excellent writing samples to:
