Yes, it’s true. Elasticity is looking for a public relations intern. Welcome to the most boring blog post in human history about our search for an internship.
Background
Elasticity – Stretching Boundaries
Analytical to the core, we leverage data to understand, identify and build audiences–creating authentic, breakthrough creative content and harnessing the power of the digital media landscape to build connections, elevate brands, and drive customer loyalty that ultimately increases revenues for our clients.
Yawn.
Job Description
In this role you’ll be expected to assist the public relations team with various duties across clients. Clients will be assigned to you via an intake form that explains the task and desired goal. Your position will be supervised by the internship coordinator within Elasticity, who will communicate with your internship supervisor at your university. As an intern, you’ll be part of the team, fully integrated, working and learning alongside the full agency.
You’ll work an estimate of 12-15 hours a week. If this will not satisfy your internship requirements, other arrangements can be made. Over the course of the internship, you’ll develop materials you can use in your portfolio, after they’re approved by the intern supervisor to be free of proprietary material, including names and confidential info.
So exciting. Triple yawn.
