message boards, email discussion groups and live chats to generate
exposure, publicity and sales. 
• Utilize writing skills to create copy and PR content within specified
guidelines for internal and external clients. 
• Never get anyone coffee – unless you want to or a client requests some
from you specifically. 
• Gather and compile research data in a comprehensible format. 
• Participate minute by minute in conversations that surround content
and brand, answer comments, and mediate. 
• Create content for feeds and snippets in various social media sites. 
• Participate in social media, as both yourself and white hat avatars,
on client’s behalf. 
• Optimize tags on feeds, sharing sites like YouTube/Flickr and search
engines through copywriting, creative & keyword optimization. 
• Create and update daily, weekly and monthly client and internal
reports. • Create reports and executive summaries in a clear, concise,
and timely manner.

Interested individuals should submit cover letter, resume, social media links and one original idea on how a B2C brand could use the social world to engage their audience to Emily Eldridge (eeldridge@whygopure.com) and Amy DiFrancesco
(adifrancesco@whygopure.com) by April 15. Those applicants granted interviews will be notified by April 15.

Internships can begin between the end of April and June 1. Pure interns do not earn monetary compensation. However, there is an opportunity for interns to earn a permanent part-time or full-time paid position after four or more weeks. All participants will be reviewed by August 15 to determine whether internships should continue into the fall.
