This internship offers academic credit for students and is perfect for anyone looking to gain experience in public relations and the fashion industry. We are seeking hard-working self-starters who can thrive in a fast-paced environment. Interns are expected to work 1-3 days a week from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM, Monday through Friday. This is a 2-4 month commitment.
We have seven departments: Celebrity, Influencer, Media, Showroom, Events, Operations, and Business Development.
Celebrity tasks include, but are not limited to: secure placements on celebrities and support the gifting team with processing gifting requests. You will play an essential part in executing strategies to increase brand visibility within the celebrity space. This role will provide valuable insight into how PR firms collaborate with talent to enhance a brand's presence in the industry. Individuals should have a strong knowledge of today's most popular artists, actors, and A-list celebrities, as staying up to date with key figures in the industry is crucial.
Influencer tasks include, but are not limited to: secure placements on influencers and support the gifting team with processing gifting requests. This role is much like the Celebrity team, but with an emphasis on influencers rather than celebrities. You will play an essential part in executing strategies to increase brand visibility within the influencer space. Individuals should have a strong knowledge of today's most popular content creators and social media personalities across platforms like Instagram, Tik Tok, and YouTube, as staying up to date with key figures in the industry is crucial. This will also provide you with valuable insight into how PR firms collaborate with influencers to enhance a brand's presence in the industry.
Media tasks include, but are not limited to: conducting editor outreach, managing editor gifting initiatives, and consistently monitoring for brand product placements or mentions in weekly and monthly magazines, as well as online platforms. This role will also involve assisting with social media management, ensuring brand visibility across various digital channels.
Showroom tasks include, but are not limited to: helping secure placements on celebrities and in magazine editorials, particularly with publications working alongside freelance stylists. You’ll handle merchandise pickups and drop-offs, prepare items by organizing and bagging as needed, and assist stylists in the showroom and on set to ensure everything runs smoothly. Additionally, you’ll help merchandise and maintain showroom aesthetics and gather images to pitch to stylists for their clients’ upcoming events.
Events tasks include, but are not limited to: build outreach lists of potential brand partners for our multi-brand events, provide administrative assistance, and aid in event production.

Operations tasks include, but are not limited to: intake and out-processing of inventory using our LaunchMetrics Fashion GPS system. Fashion GPS is a comprehensive inventory and event software utilized daily across all departments within our company. This role provides a valuable opportunity for individuals interested in merchandising, wholesale, administration, or buying, as it offers hands-on experience in inventory management, textiles, and sample coordination. You will gain insight into the logistics of fashion operations and develop essential skills for managing inventory. While the majority of your internship will focus on other departments, you may be asked to assist in the Operations Department as needed.
