Spring has sprung which means the time has come to start the summer internship search. BLASTmedia’s public relations and social media teams are ready to see what you’ve got, budding communication aficionados!

BLASTmedia interns work one-on-one with our account execs, ensuring that you learn as much as possible about what we do and why we dig every second of it. Interns receive hands-on, real-world PR and social media experience and learn the ins and outs of agency life.

This isn’t your typical internship because we aren’t your typical agency. If you like to get your hands dirty writing pitches and calling top tier media outlets like ZDNet, Businessweek and The Wall Street Journal, engaging with online brand ambassadors on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube or gettin’ down with graphical composition (that’s a video development joke there) – all while grooving to Pandora on yoga balls – then you’ve met your match here at BLAST!

Apply for our PR, social media and video development internships today! We’ll be accepting resumes and writing samples for summer 2012 now through Friday, March 1.
