Following in our client’s footsteps, C. Pharr recently served as a mentor to a high school senior as he began exploring his interests and options for his future career. Last week, the C. Pharr team had the pleasure of hosting a local high school student from Parish Episcopal School for a week-long internship. Our intern, John, got a taste of agency life. He learned about media research, helped draft media pitches, observed client calls and he even had the chance to review a few award-winning public relations case studies, giving him an overview of how a PR campaign is implemented from start to finish. After getting his feet wet in the PR world, this is what John had to say about his experience at C. Pharr...
For
the past week I've been interning at C. Pharr & Co. as part of my
graduation requirements as a senior at Parish Episcopal School. I am required
to complete a one-week internship in a profession I'm interested in studying in
college.
This week has been an expansion of my creative writing classes in a business setting with an entirely different subject matter, and a quick foray into the connections between business and media and how they affect the news. Both of which I have found extremely enjoyable and rewarding – even if the next time I read a magazine I'm completely disillusioned.
John C., graduating class of 2014 at Parish Episcopal.
Thanks for spending the week with us, John! We hoped you learned a lot!
