Public Relations Intern (Midtown)

Berk Communications offers students and post-college graduates the chance to learn and assist in the world of public relations. Berk Communications provides public relations and strategic marketing counsel to help companies and individuals convey their message to the public and the media.

An internship with Berk Communications is extremely coveted and very hands-on. Interns work directly with all members of the Berk Communications team in an effort to strategically meet client demands and needs. Completing this internship successfully will not only provide you with great material for your resume, but more importantly, will prepare you for a potential career in many fields related to public relations (marketing, journalism, human resources).

Berk Communications intern duties are, but not limited to, the following: clipping articles that feature our clients from the morning papers (New York Times, The Post, Daily News) and online websites; organizing the weekly events list; assisting in deliveries (packages, checks, etc.); creating/faxing tipsheets; working on/organizing media contact lists (food, travel, nightlife, fashion, music, business, etc.); brainstorming effective marketing tactics for appropriate clients; creating and updating client press kits; creating/editing pitches; utilizing media contact software for individual requests or long lists; helping to execute events (planning, invitations, organizing, rsvp lists, night-of duties, etc.); and reporting to account executives for individual needs and tasks.

We are also interested in bringing on an intern with graphic design experience to assist in making flyers, invitations, and visual presentations online. Designers need imaginative flair, awareness of up-to-date visual arts trends and working knowledge of the latest computer packages.
