Description:

We are an entertainment public relations firm in LA. We represent celebrities, fashion and lifestyle clients.

You will learn how to be a publicist - crafting pitching, researching, and promoting.

Youll be making the rounds calling and emailing outlets. The pitches will be guided by us though you will be given extraordinary freedom to play with them, make changes as needed. A big part of this internship will be on the phone, so leave that timidity at home.

We also will ask you to contribute creatively to campaigns and voice your opinions on pitches. Sometimes we miss the obvious and we need someone to call us on it.

As far as writing is concerned, youll be writing biographies and press releases. Standard stuff.

Were looking for someone who has Tuesdays and Thursdays available, for 4-6 hours a day depending on how busy things are.

Our interns have gone in-house for True Religion or Beach Bunny Swimwear. Some decide to go corporate and some start their own firms. We cant take credit for their success, but we can say we nudged them in that direction.

Most of the internship revolves around:

- Calling and emailing media outlets with pitches - print, television, radio, online, etc.
- Working with the lead publicist on pitches
- Working on individual clients campaigns and keeping track of your work
- Researching new outlets
- Contributing ideas to current publicity campaigns
- Writing press release and bios
