Build Your Skills & Find Your Passion in Public Relations!
At Ajenda Public Relations, we are creatives, learners, strategizers, and self-starters focused on reaching our client goals – and we hope you are too! Our team is small but mighty, and at our core is a collective passion for doing meaningful work for an industry we love.
The hospitality industry is always evolving and as PR professionals we get to be at the forefront of developing innovative campaigns that land in publications from Eater to Restaurant Business. We develop and build relationships with both journalists and TV producers but, most importantly, help our clients succeed. If you feel excited at the thought of seeing a line out the door at a restaurant's grand opening and know that you helped to make that happen or delighted at the thought of seeing your pitch turn into a story in a publication… then this internship might be for you!
As a national agency, we proudly represent a diverse portfolio of fast-casual eateries, franchised concepts, national and boutique hotels, and consumer packaged goods across major media markets. We're inviting enthusiastic individuals to join the Ajenda PR team for our Fall 2024 internship program to get a behind-the-scenes masterclass on how to make restaurant & hospitality businesses successful via PR in this day and age!

- Culinary Enthusiasts Welcome: If the sight of a new restaurant opening fills you with excitement, you're in the right place.
