Did you always want to be in the broadcast business? You might want to think about making your start at zcomm, a Bethesda, MD based broadcast public relations firm. What kind of services do they offer? “Radio news releases and video news releases, TV and radio tours, radio and TV PSAs, radio promotions, client-sponsored syndicated radio, satellite radio features, corporate videos in English and Spanish, webcasts, online video and podcasts,” according to the zcomm Web site. I just love seeing small agencies with big-name client lists, and I guarantee there will be a number of zcomm’s clients that you’ll recognize—Hershey’s, American Express, Honda, and Oreos, just to name a few. And like more and more boutique firms today, zcomm was founded by a woman—former ABC Network news correspondent Risë Birnbaum.
If you thought there were no internships left for the summer, you were definitely wrong! zcomm is currently seeking its next summer intern. Candidates must be media-savvy, good communicators, detail-oriented and energetic. Another requirement? “You must be willing to have fun.” Interested? Send a cover letter and résumé to jobs@zpr.com. Also, I recommending reading zcomm’s blog, The Buzz, before you apply. There’s no word on whether the internships are paid or not, so you’ll have to figure that one out on your own.
