About the role
From learning how to write press releases and speaking with journalists, to running online campaigns that influence public opinion or behaviour, this is a role that will see you work with a handful of clients and help them be seen and heard by their chosen audiences.

The list goes on, but essentially you will learn from some of the best people in the business and become equipped with the tools to build and grow a successful career in PR.
What you need
- Excellent writing skills
- Ability to prioritise tasks and work to tight deadlines
- Capable of working on own initiative but more importantly as part of a team
