PR Intern

Greentarget’s Chicago office – in the historic Chicago Board of Trade building – hosts between five and eight interns at a time, year-round. The experience is very heavy on skills building, including learning to write press releases, draft media pitches, call reporters, conduct research, and create media lists. Interns work closely with every member of the team from junior associates to senior management. The internship regularly involves writing and speaking on the phone, so a comfort level with these skills is essential. Every day will be a bit different, and organizational skills are key to success and growth. 

Almost 100% of Junior Associates hired by Greentarget get their start in our internship program. Many of those former interns stay with Greentarget for years, learning and growing, including two who are now Vice Presidents at the firm. We are always on the lookout for fresh talent, and the internship program is a great way to get a taste of the unique type of PR we practice.
