So in my endless search for a summer internship I stumbled across an event marketing internship with the Atlanta Falcons training camp. As a Falcons fan, this opportunity was very appealing to me. I ended up applying for the job that would last two months with 40 hour weeks. I know that marketing is different than PR, but the internship involves community relations, customer service, sponsorship execution, operations, corporate hospitality, and event assistance. So there are definitely some aspects of PR involved. What I wouldn't be doing is writing press releases or compiling media lists. So I am not sure that this would work for the kind of internship the PR program requires. There is a slim chance that I would even get the job, but it would be really hard to have to turn it down.
I have really loved the event planning aspect of PR. With the Athletic Auction growing closer, I am excited to see everything come together. There is definitely a lot involved in planning any event; there are so many things that people don't think of. I would love to get an internship where I could work more with event planning. The Falcons internship might lean to much away traditional PR. I guess we'll have to see how things pan out.
