PR Internships: a Step Toward a Great Career

PR InternshipsDenim Marketing offers year-round PR internships and our interns get fantastic hands-on training in public relations, social media, blogging, search engine optimization, graphics, flyers and much more. A PR internship can be an exciting first step toward a great career. So, for the college students out there wondering how to get that first job after school, consider getting an internship while you are still in school. This year, as we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we are taking time to reflect on all the wonderful interns that we have had over the years.

Denim Marketing President Carol Morgan comments, “It is always rewarding to see where our interns land their first job and what they are doing currently. We hope that the experience they had with us helped them to put their first portfolio together, improved their writing and helped to shape what they love about the public relations and marketing industry. We have been fortunate to have some incredibly talented college students work with us over the past two decades. A huge shout out to them for their many successes and a big thanks for helping us get where we are today!”

We have offered PR internships since our founding in 1999 and since 2008, we have had the pleasure of working with 25 superb interns that have contributed to the success of our clients. These interns have gained relevant experience that’s helped them get to where they are today! We are so proud to have played even a small role in their successful careers. Let’s take a look at these interns and see where their paths have taken them since their time as an intern:
