January 2025 – We’re hiring for a PR & Communications intern

We are looking for a PR & Communications intern to join our team at Crest.

This 3-month internship is perfect for someone keen to explore the world of PR and media relations; building an understanding of how stories make the news and how to create compelling content. PR involves working closely with companies and brands to secure them earned media coverage across print, digital, broadcast and emerging media.

For the right candidate, there is an opportunity to apply for a full-time role at the end of the internship.

• An strategic thinker – we often analyse client data or zeitgeist moments to spot trends and tell compelling stories
• Proactive and diligent – we need a forward-thinker who can work under their own steam, as well as collaborate effectively with colleagues
• Team members take on a lot of responsibility from day one, so this role would suit someone who is happy to jump right in and learn quickly.

The role will involve:

• Writing – Drafting press releases, blogs and ‘thought leadership’ articles
• Creative thinking – coming up with interesting ideas and compelling press angles
• Research – Understanding new client areas and helping design media strategies
