We’ve just learned that one of our recent public relations interns, Shannah Henderson, is being considered for an eight-week social media internship with Charlie Sheen. Shannah is among 40 people in line from the position, for which 75,000 applied.
We’re not surprised that Shannah made the short list. She really impressed us during her time here. She was an exceptional intern: very responsible and thorough, and she frequently offered well-grounded suggestions. Shannah clearly cares about the quality of her work. We enjoyed having this warm, friendly college student on our staff.
While we’re very proud of Shannah, of course we also recognize that Charlie Sheen is without doubt one of today’s most notorious celebrities. For better or worse, whoever is chosen for this internship is bound to get the experience of a lifetime.
What do you think? Is this a professional opportunity that will look great on her resume or would she be better off seeking another less controversial internship? https://www.kare11.com/rss/article/916941/391/MN-college-student-finalist-to-intern-for-Charlie-Sheen
Robin will coordinate the writing for your newsletters, social media posts, website, blogs, newsletters and press releases. “I like interviewing clients and spokespeople, hearing their stories, getting to know their personalities and listening to how they phrase their thoughts,” she says. “It’s fun to transform what I’ve learned from those conversations into media-grade content.”
Robin enjoys shaping content to ensure that the message will be clearly received. “When someone understands the relevance of what they’re writing and can position it properly for their audience, their work tends to be more convincing and on point. I’m fortunate to have a very diverse background, which gives me a good perspective whenever we bring on a new client.”
An IABC- and Mercury-award winner, Robin says her practical experience in the health sciences has proven particularly beneficial as she interprets clients’ scientific information for mainstream media. “But it’s no longer sufficient to write well,” she cautions. “As marketers, we must now comply with the intricacies of digital marketing. That involves a whole set of rules, which are constantly evolving.”
