My name: Lauren Ruzinsky Company: Alice Marshall Public Relations Location: New York, New York About the company: Alice Marshall Public Relations is a firm that specializes in luxury travel and goods. The clients range from exceptional high-end hotels to exotic spas and skincare products. Intern Duties: I help manage five different accounts, whether that is clipping articles, writing social media posts, or taking notes during conference calls. It's true what they say - no day in PR is the same. Some days I'm running an errand across town and others I'm writing pitches to send out to bloggers. What I've learned: I have learned so much about the travel industry, especially the luxury sector. I'm always researching top travel trends. I have also learned about the importance of building relationships, especially with media outlets and their journalists.

My name: David Lafferty Company name: Memorial Health Location: Marysville, OH About the Company: Memorial Health is a fairly large hospital system in Central Ohio with over 30 service lines, 160 skilled physicians, 600 employees, over 500 volunteers and around 20 physician office and specialty care locations associated with them. Intern duties: I'm managing their social media outlets, primarily Facebook. As well, as working with the PR & Marketing team on several different hospital projects and initiatives! Most days here I'm working between 4-5 different projects! What I've learned: I've learned that the Health field is a different type of organization when it comes to PR. It's more about communicating the hospital as a brand really, we need patients to come to us and in turn provide them with the care we publicized to them in the beginning. |
