FALL 2008 INTERNSHIP
Pure is an independent advertising, public relations and brand communications agency. Founded in 2003, Pure was created to offer select clients experience building some of the world’s most famous brands.
Internship Description:
The Pure Internship Program is designed to give interns an opportunity to learn alongside respected members of the advertising and public relations community. At Pure, we invest in people and technology to create a place for ideas to thrive - a place where people are challenged to rise to the level of their greatest capabilities rather than the limitation of their job title.
As the PR intern, you will be an integral part of our small yet incredibly busy team. The Pure intern works on several accounts, gaining both industry knowledge and real-world agency experience in a laidback and creative environment. Your days will include both long and short term projects.
Your unique internship experience at Pure will also be a reflection of the skills you are looking to develop. You will meet with a mentor throughout your internship to discuss your goals and expectations, providing you the opportunity to tailor your time at Pure to include your specific areas of interest. Your internship will also include conversations about post-internship possibilities.
