Internships in PR in London
Here are just a few example roles our communications interns have taken on before:
Web Content
Creating content for the web is a key element of many internships in PR in London. From social media and LinkedIn posts to updated website pages, PR professionals spend a lot of time creating and drafting written content. Interns gain experience writing for specific audiences and platforms, as well as writing with the company’s voice and brand in mind.
Copywriting
Copywriting interns gain experience drafting press releases, newsletters, and partnership announcements, to name just a few. Depending on the industry, an organization may publish a quarterly magazine or an annual organizational update. Frequently, PR professionals draft content for company leadership, including speeches, internal letters, and statements.
Social Media
For many companies and nonprofits, social media platforms are a key part of promoting a brand. Interns may gain experience in everything from creating a publication calendar for various platforms to responding to customer comments and messages. Social media is also a great way to gain support for fundraisers, events, and product launches.
Brand Partnerships
Brand partnership is an exciting area of public relations because it allows interns to work closely with professionals outside their own organization. Many organizations use partnerships to grow their audience, garner attention for a campaign or fundraiser or create close ties within an industry.
The industry
Public relations is a career field that can be found in every country, company, and industry around the world. Top global PR firms may advise hundreds of organizations, while boutique firms often specialize within an industry, for example healthcare. Experts in the industry are focused on building and promoting a certain image for their company, and work closely with local media as well as organizations in the wider industry to do so. The industry is constantly growing and changing, and is increasingly connected to fields like fundraising, advertising, and finance.
