Pros
Interning at B2 Communications gave me invaluable PR agency experience. What distinguishes the B2 internship program from others is interns get to work directly with the principals and develop genuine relationships with them. They also host educational workshops called "B2 University" that cover a wide range of PR related topics. Principal, Missy is an accredited and highly respected public relations professional. She allowed me to shadow her at client meetings and taught me how to master the client service mentality. As an accomplished journalist and PR professional, principal, Kyle brings a unique perspective to B2. He invested time in me to polish my writing skills, as well as taught me about media relations. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I had to fly back home in the middle of my internship program. Both principals were empathetic and even offered to continue my internship virtually. They believed in me and my skills, and I am grateful that they allowed me to continue learning from them. Their ability to quickly adapt to a virtual internship model made it feel like my internship with them didn't change. I highly recommend interning with B2 Communications if you are interested in public relations and want to gain hands-on experience in an agency setting.
Cons
Some days may feel slower than others, but your internship is what you make of it. Be proactive and ask if there's anything else you can do to help.
