Internship

NOTE: Curator is working remote these days, so you do not have to live in Seattle to apply for this job.

The Opportunity

We are a Seattle-based creative earned media and influencer relations agency focused primarily on lifestyle brands. We are always looking for stellar public relations interns to join our ranks each quarter. The interns will assist us with portfolio-building client work and day-to-day agency operations over the course of a 10-week time period. Interns will learn what PR agencies are really like through hands-on work with a variety of clients, media outlets, events and more.

The Agency

Curator’s mission is to help brands curate and participate in the conversation of the marketplace, while developing strategies that align core brand promises and ever-changing consumer behaviors. In other words, we don’t spin; we help companies naturally join and create media and social conversations to help elevate their company and products in an authentic way. 

Our Clients

We work with a wide variety of clients across consumer and lifestyle industries. Interns will get to experience what it means to work in an agency by tackling PR projects for clients in several categories, including travel, hospitality, real estate, financial services, technology, and more. Some of the clients our interns will get to work with include:

  • Delta Air Lines

  • Gesa Credit Union

  • Washington’s Lottery

  • Ziply Fiber

  • and more
