of communications solutions to financial and professional services companies, and clients turn to us for our fresh and creative strategies.

At Prosek Partners, the stories we tell impact the global economy. As a member of our PR team, you’ll have the opportunity to tell stories in creative ways across multiple channels – to a worldwide audience. Whether you’re developing a pitch, crafting a social media plan or working on tomorrow’s headline news, no two days are alike. If you like to be in the center of the action, Prosek’s PR Development Program might be right for you.

Prosek’s four - month PR Development Program is designed to train the next generation of PR agency professionals. Our approach emphasizes real - world work amid a backdrop of continuous learning and mentorship.

Prosek Apprentices will:

•Develop a strong knowledge of the media landscape by creating

media lists and relationships with top journalists.

•Write content (messaging, press releases and pitches) to propel your clients’ brands.

•Take an owner’s role in every element of account execution by keeping track of action

•Become a master researcher by participating in the business development process.

Prosek’s Boot Camp program is a curriculum curated – and taught by –top leaders across the firm

on a weekly basis throughout the program. This professional development program is specifically designed to give Prosek Apprentices training that they can apply to their day-to-day work.

We invest heavily into the growth and support for our Prosek Apprentices, pairing each

Apprentice with a manager, a media buddy and a mentor.

•Managers are responsible for identifying their Apprentice’s strengths, areas for development, and interests to ensure they’re given the right tools to succeed.

•Media buddies help Apprentices navigate the financial media landscape and develop their media relations skills.

•Mentors provide support to Apprentices as they acclimate to a new environment and corporate culture.
