Fall PR/Social Media Internship

The job:
An integrated agency calls for an integrated internship. The PR/social media intern will support a variety of content areas throughout the agency, including but not limited to public relations, social media, account service, learning and development, recruitment and The Business to Business Network (BBN) international efforts. As a cross-discipline content developer, the intern will focus on perfecting his/her communication skills for a variety of channels (online, print and broadcast) and audiences (internal and external). Interns will be exposed to nationally known consumer and trade clients in industries ranging from home furnishings to manufacturing and health care. Interns also may assist with internal agency communications and branding.

Each day as the BR content marketing intern, you’ll have opportunities to explore your passion, grow your talents and collaborate to learn from creative minds across multiple disciplines. While our focus is on our clients, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to join in on an array of activities. From softball and soccer to yoga and boot camp workouts, you’ll have time during lunch and after hours to get to know. It’s easy to get acclimated here and to find people with similar interests, be it art, wine or Kubb (you’ll find out). Because sometimes the best ideas happen at our parties and social clubs. We’ve been called a Top Workplace, one of the largest marketing agencies in Wisconsin, a place to grow a career and oh, yeah, that place with the great river views. Should we meet?
