We're hiring a summer PR intern!
Are you a self-proclaimed “grammar nerd” and a stickler for AP Style? Do you enjoy getting the latest scoop from local and national news? Are you a self-starter and a team player? If you said “yes” to all of these questions, then consider applying for the Dala Communications summer 2019 internship program!
At Dala, we consider our interns to be valuable parts of the team. We encourage our interns to provide input and share ideas throughout the length of their internship.
Our interns get hands-on experience in a wide range of public relations and marketing activities that include, but are not limited to:
Attending client meetings to learn how we execute and manage strategic PR plans
Writing, editing, and distributing press materials
Developing and pitching stories to the media
Attending print, radio, web, and TV news interviews
Tracking and reporting media coverage
Learning how to plan, manage and track the success of an event
Creating content for Dala’s social media channels
Writing for The Dala Daily (our blog)
Attending occasional PR industry events and participating in seminars, webinars, and other professional training
Working within a client-focused team setting, interacting with all disciplines to get real-world experience and understanding of the collaborative nature of the agency environment
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 summer internship typically runs from late May through August. Hours are flexible, with a minimum of 12 hours a week at our office. If you’re looking to get hands-on experience in the PR field, send your resume, cover letter, two writing samples, and three professional references to Nelli@DalaCommunications.com by April 12.
Please, no phone calls. Applicants will be contacted directly.
