What are the responsibilities and job description for the Public Relations Intern position at Foxglove Communications?
The Position: Foxglove Communications is seeking a sharp, hospitality-obsessed Intern to join our growing team. You'll work alongside a tight-knit group of strategists and storytellers on an acclaimed national roster of clients who are setting the standard for hospitality across the country.
This role is for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, relationship-driven environment and brings both initiative and intention to everything they touch. If you're energized by hospitality culture, care deeply about the craft, and want to do meaningful work at a boutique agency that punches well above its weight, we'd love to meet you.
Candidates must be based in Philadelphia, PA or New York, NY. This is a hybrid role with regular on-site presence at client meetings, media appointments, and events.
Who We Are: Foxglove is an award-winning PR and marketing consultancy specializing in hospitality. Founded by strategist and storyteller Gia Vecchio, we represent the people, businesses, and non-profits defining the future of hospitality in America. Through strategic planning, thought leadership, partnerships, experiential and authentic storytelling, we build purpose-driven brands and amplify their impact to mainstream audiences on a global stage.
No jargon. No stunts. No antiquated tactics. Just old-fashioned relationships and a new-school approach to PR.
We've been named to Observer's PR Power List, recognized as PR Net's Hospitality Agency of the Year, and have grown from our Philadelphia roots to include offices in Chicago, New York, New Orleans, Nashville, and Austin.
