Don’t just take it from us…
My experience as a Summer Associate at MikeWorldWide proved invaluable. I was able to expand my skill set and knowledge about the PR industry through hands-on work in the corporate, tech, and brand practices and I learned about how MWW brings people together along the way. I still keep in touch with fellow Summer Associates and have built great relationships with my colleagues since joining the team full-time.
The Summer Associate Program widened my knowledge of the PR industry as a whole and gave me a taste of different practice areas that I hadn’t had experience in before. During my time as an associate, I learned the importance of being proactive and inquisitive and anticipating the next steps to best support your teams.
Being a part of the Summer Associate Program was truly fantastic! Right away, I felt like a valued member of each team I was a part of and always felt encouraged to ask questions about the various processes of working at a PR firm. Favorite memories that come to mind include presenting to executive members of Crisis Text Line at the end of the summer for our small group project and setting up meetings with various team members that I admired and wanted to learn more from. They are the reason I felt so drawn to come back to MikeWorldWide after graduating!
