Most PR students can cobble together a decent press release, but the heavy lifting comes in finding the story that matters. That's why in addition to interactive types, we look for interns who understand where the best stories come from ---we look for the trendspotters--- students who have a sense for what’s next. We’re looking for integrated communicators who want to help redefine the future of public relations and social media.

Tasks include: daily monitoring and internal reporting on latest trends in social media, PR, design, marketing and other client-related industries; planning, editing and contributing to the Mindspace Blog; pitching story ideas to local and national media; actively contributing to client brainstorming sessions and media planning; copywriting and editing across various channels; advising and assisting clients with social media campaigns; compiling client clips and assisting creative, new media and account teams as needed.

Thrives in a deadline-driven, entrepreneurial environment; demonstrates professionalism at all times. Location: 2402 S. Rural Road in Tempe, two miles south of ASU. Join us.
