Could you describe what your day-to-day looks like as an intern for Hundred Stories PR?

• Developed and executed weekly social media campaigns on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, driving engagement and brand awareness through strategic content planning and creation.

• Created compelling pitch deck presentations to effectively communicate campaign strategies and outcomes to clients and stakeholders.

• Wrote and edited copy for a monthly newsletter, creating engaging content that increased subscriber interaction and brand loyalty.

• Designed and produced visually appealing Instagram Stories, enhancing audience engagement and promoting key campaigns.

• Built and maintained a comprehensive media contacts database in Excel, streamlining outreach efforts and fostering media relations.

What aspect of your internship is most enjoyable, rewarding, and/or useful?

I would say the most useful aspect of my internship was the ability to gain hands-on access to daily life at a PR firm. That was exactly what I was looking for in my internship, and it's incredibly rewarding to learn that I have what it takes to make it as a PR professional in the modern workplace.

Did your internship meet your expectations and how will it impact your career goals?

I would say yes, my internship met my expectations. I think this will help my professional and long-term career by the networking I was able to make. I was fortunate to work for a woman who has been in the PR world for several years in NYC, and I am confident this internship will lead to a full-time position either with Hundred Stories or another PR company.

How did ArtBound Initiative help you the most?

They helped me the most through their resume-creation program. I needed a lot of help with my resume, and their resume-creation services were incredible. I feel much better about my resume now and have been getting more interviews as a result. I also found their career-mentoring services to be very helpful as there was always someone I could reach out to and rely on for professional advice and help.
