Communications & Public Relations Internships

As a part of this field, career paths range from brand ambassadors to publicists to content strategists. In Southeast Asia, a combination  of regional and local approaches to PR is most effective. PR tactics need to appeal to specific populations to succeed, so repackaging content is often a very successful method of working within different markets.

With the advent of social media, an entirely new sphere of influence has opened up when it comes to PR. Not only do professionals in this field have to monitor and manage their clients’ images through higher media like news outlets and entertainment channels, but also through various social networks. Social media, though, can also be used to the advantage of PR because virality is an excellent tool for publicity.
