Public relations can be tough an industry to work in. As a PR professional, your job is to get people excited about your clients’ products, services, or news. That isn’t so easy when your client manufactures plungers or is laying off 10,000 workers. On the other hand, it can be a lot of fun when you have amazing clients who do things that you are genuinely excited about. Bender/Helper Impact is a PR and communications firm that works with some great clients in some pretty exciting industries. Their four areas of practice are: Entertainment Content, Entertainment Technology & Consumer Electronics, Interactive Entertainment, and Consumer Products. Just to give you a taste of what that means - they worked on the launches of video games like “Metal Gear Solid 2,” “Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex,” “Diablo II” and “Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon.”
Although Bender/Helper Impact kind of sounds like a nutritional supplement for Hollywood stars after they go on a 3 day drug and drinking binge, they actually look like a pretty cool firm to work for. They’ve put together their own promotional video, so we’re going to let that do the talking (subscribers, you’ll need to click through to this post to view the video).
So what about interning at Bender/Helper Impact and being a “bender helper” (we made that term up, they didn’t)? B/HI doesn’t offer too much information on their internship program, but it does seem that they accept internship applications year round. They take interns in all four of their divisions, and the internships appear to be unpaid. Bender/Helper Impact is located in Los Angeles, CA (they do have an office in New York, but we’re not sure if they take interns there too), and you can apply for an internship with them by sending a cover letter and resume to resumes@bhimpact.com.
