Bonobos – New York, NY
Bonobos is looking for a media savvy and passionate intern with prior PR experience to assist our in-house Public Relations team.
Home to one of the fastest growing and dynamic apparel-start-ups in America, the Bonobos Inc. office tends to get a little, shall we say, energized? As a Public Relations Intern, you can expect anything but an ‘average’ day surrounded by some of the most talented people in their fields. You will experience every facet of the PR job at Bonobos, including exciting new store openings, product launches, collection events, and maybe even a new brand launch!
Consider this scenario: A television crew is filming at the office the same day that the top fashion magazine is on deadline and needs samples asap. 5 bags needs to be messengered to different editors by the afternoon, and you need to secure coverage on a new product launch so must get five pitches out that day.
We need someone who will thrive in the fun, but sometimes-hectic culture where nothing is set in stone. Along with that comes the opportunity to learn from some of the most passionate, driven and awesome people you have ever come across operating under one roof. The PR Intern will report into the Senior PR manager and work directly with the entire PR team’s Managers and Associates. As PR is a part of the Bonobos Marketing department, the PR Intern will have the opportunity to contribute to larger marketing strategies, working closely with fellow interns and associates within the marketing lane. You will assist in securing press coverage, organizing samples, writing pitches/press releases and assisting in the day-to-day of the media relations world.
You…
- Must be detail oriented and comfortable multitasking in a well organized manner.
- Are comfortable cold calling on the phone.
- Are extremely resourceful in your manner of problem-solving being a strategic and out-of-the-box thinker.
- Demonstrate a positive, go-getter attitude by being flexible, responsible, self-motivated, resourceful, efficient and showing enthusiasm for the business.
- Are a super ambitious self-starter who is eager to build targeted media lists and take it upon yourself to update contact databases.
- Enjoy managing and fulfilling sample requests for media and stylists as much as handling event planning and logistics.
- Want to work for a company where everything you do each and every day impacts our bottom line.
- Want to join a team that is always engaging, challenges you daily, will keep you laughing so hard your stomach may hurt and will remind you that there are still passionate, yet whacky and awesome people in this world.
We…
- Believe in the power of self-awareness, intellectual honesty, judgment, empathy and positive energy as our team values.
- Pride ourselves on offering internships that teach and help students understand what the real ‘job’ is like – we want your experience here to add value to your ultimate career aspirations and challenges.
- Work hard because we love what we’re doing, but also highly value personal downtime that may, or may not involve pants (designing them, selling them…wearing them?).
- Work great as a team.
- Will back up our talk with credible experience, compensation and/or course credit, random acts of team-wide fun and awesome co-workers.
- Are excited to hear from you.
