“I heard wonderful things about Hunter Public Relations through a classmate that interned the previous summer. All my expectations were exceeded once I became part of the Hunter PR family. From day one, I was given challenging projects and through my work with Altoids, I was able to incorporate my passion for art into my career. I learned that initiative goes a long way, and the internship is truly what you make out of it.”

“From day one as an intern at Hunter Public Relations, I was given tasks that challenged and excited me. The internship was truly hands-on, allowing me to coordinate logistics for events, draft pitches for media and participate in agency brainstorms. I was so impressed with Hunter PR that I jumped at the opportunity to become a full-time employee!”
