What are the responsibilities and job description for the URGENT HIRING: Spring 2026 Public Relations Intern position at BR Public Relations?
PUBLIC RELATIONS INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITY
FOR SUMMER 2026
From Grammy Award-winning musicians and global pop-up events to pioneering businesses and multi-million-dollar attractions, we help turn our clients into blockbusters—and our interns into stars.
This is an excellent opportunity for a student seeking an unpaid for-credit internship with a respected and dynamic national PR agency based in Manhattan. Our firm has been recognized by Expertise.com as one of New York’s top PR agencies since 2017.
We have two internship positions available beginning May 26, 2026, for students who can work two days per week (excluding Fridays) through August 28. Hours are 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
We are also looking for an intern to start immediately to work Mondays and Tuesdays through August 28.
This internship offers hands-on experience in all facets of entertainment and business public relations, as well as the opportunity to work directly with the agency president. Interns also have the opportunity to accompany the agency president and clients to media interviews—including television appearances in studio—which can be a fun behind-the-scenes look at how PR works.
One of the clients you may work on this summer is the global pop-up event Diner en Blanc. Our agency handles its national, international, and local PR, and on the day of the event we operate a Media Lounge at the secret location—providing a unique opportunity to experience high-level event publicity firsthand.
We are seeking a bright, motivated student who is comfortable multitasking, works well as part of a team, and also enjoys taking ownership of individual projects. Previous internship experience and some familiarity with the public relations or communications industry are preferred.
Responsibilities include:
• Assisting with live events, including media check-in and interaction
• Creating social media posts, tracking trends, and helping grow followers
• Researching and developing influencer outreach lists
• Participating in client meetings
• Conducting online research for clients
• Researching and maintaining media lists in Cision, a leading PR database used by PR agencies and communications teams
• Monitoring trending topics and breaking news for opportunities to position clients in stories
