You don’t have to be in Washington, DC to be part of the political scene. Lesic & Camper Communications is doing just fine with their two locations in Ohio—Columbus and Cleveland. The agency’s specialties are media relations, public affairs and strategic counsel, and its staff has “decades of experience in journalism, public policy, government, political and issues management, and public opinion development.” While many of Lesic & Camper’s clients are Ohio-centric, they do have a few big names on their roster, such as Accenture and Nationwide.
Between the two offices, the staff at Lesic & Camper is extremely small—nine staff members and two “associates” (partner organizations). Lesic & Camper is what I would call “top heavy” in that they have very few junior-level staff members. However, this gives you an opportunity to really learn from the pros.
As I’ve stated before, there are still summer internships to be had! Lesic & Camper is currently seeking an unpaid Public Relations Intern in its Cleveland office. They have a few expectations from their interns, including a willingness to ask questions, an eagerness to learn new things, a strong work ethic and the ability to have fun. Now, a few things you can expect in return—how to build media lists, make follow-up calls, monitor news clips, craft media pitches, plan and organize events, and write news releases, media advisories and talking points.
Interested? Send a cover letter and résumé to account executive Meagan Meyer at mmeyer@lesiccamper.com.
