Our PR firm handles a variety of accounts in industries ranging from commercial real estate and construction services to education and corporate social responsibility. We consider our team tiny but mighty and therefore need an intern willing to work hard and contribute along the way. A successful Dala intern is detail-oriented and a resourceful self-starter with a positive attitude. An understanding of media relations, social media, and AP Style, along with strong written and verbal communication skills, are required.

The spring internship typically runs from January through May. Hours are flexible, with a minimum of 12 hours a week at our office. If you want hands-on experience in the PR field, send your resume, cover letter, two writing samples, and three professional references to Elizabeth@DalaCommunications.com by November 23rd no later than 4 p.m.

Please, no phone calls. Applicants will be contacted directly.
