Internship

Fenton is a leading public interest PR firms with offices in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, DC, San Francisco and London. We develop and execute strategic media campaigns across a wide range of causes such as global warming, public health, violence prevention, and women's rights.

The successful candidate will work for, learn from and be mentored by experienced professionals as they conceive and roll out traditional and digital communications strategies. The ideal candidate will feel comfortable multi- tasking, be proactive and enjoy taking on new challenges in a creative environment.
