This is a guest post by Heather R. Huhman. Heather is the media relations manager at a national health care professional association and entry-level careers columnist for Examiner.com.
Peppercom Strategic Communications is definitely at the head of the public relations agency pack. The Holmes Report, which ranked Peppercom as one of the nation’s best places to work for three consecutive years, says, “…Peppercom’s people certainly feel well rewarded, giving the firm high marks for its generous pay and benefits…As well as… providing some of the most progressive perks in the industry.” Peppercomm has offices in New York City, San Francisco and London. They’re a full-service agency that provides events/sponsorships, digital communications, green/environmental PR, global communications, crisis management, partner relations, internal communications, executive leadership, and more. Their main areas of expertise include clean tech, professional services, financial services, consumer products, technology, and industrial and manufacturing.
Peppercom is constantly seeking interns for their New York City office. To score one of these gigs, you’ll need to “be creative, organized, have a basic understanding of public relations and have strong communication and writing skills.” Note that all internships are full-time. The deadlines are:
Spring: January-April (Deadline to apply: November 30)
Summer: May-August (Deadline to apply: March 15)
Fall/Winter: September- December (Deadline to apply: July 31)
Interested? Submit your resume with a cover letter to Alicia Wells at interncommittee@peppercom.com. Also, I recommend you listen to this podcast produced by former interns and read PRiscope, Peppercom’s blog about navigating the journey of entry-level PR. The internships are paid, so take that into consideration as well.
