Public Relations Intern (Winter/Spring 2027)

Kyle Arnett is a corporate and B2B PR firm helping ambitious brands earn attention, protect reputation, and create lasting business impact.

We exist to serve the companies we came from: advertising agencies, media companies, and the technology firms rewiring both. Today our clients span advertising and marketing services, media and entertainment, sports, technology, and social impact. Our work runs across seven practices, and clients work directly with senior leadership on every engagement.

Kyle Arnett is seeking Public Relations Interns for the Winter/Spring 2027 term. This is a structured, mentorship-driven internship designed to teach the fundamentals of corporate and B2B public relations through supervised, hands-on work. This is an academic internship offered for college credit. Candidates must be enrolled at an accredited institution and eligible to receive credit through their school's internship program. The experience is built around your education: coursework-aligned training, regular instruction from senior practitioners, and a schedule that accommodates your academic calendar. The role is fully remote. Interns support the firm's research and monitoring functions across several practice areas, working under the direction of a supervising senior leader who reviews all work before it informs client strategy or reaches a client.

• Industry events and moments. Researching the organizers, programming, and deadlines behind the events that shape our clients' visibility, including Advertising Week, Cannes Lions, CES, and the Upfronts.
• Awards and recognition. Researching awards programs, category structures, judging criteria, deadlines, and past winners, and supporting entry preparation and submission management.
• Media relations. Maintaining research on journalists across trade, business, and technology press, including beats, recent coverage, and outlet moves, and supporting media list development and coverage tracking.
• Owned editorial. Capturing content across firm activity, supporting the firm's newsletter and social programs, and helping map target audiences and prospects.
