Founded in 2005, Shamin Abas is a boutique firm specializing in communications, experiential marketing, affinity partnerships, and business development for category-leading, ultra-luxury brands.
Whether at the pinnacle of their respective vertical, or an emerging brand on the path to domination, our clients each hold the critical attributes necessary for us to activate our methodology and position them at the apex: extraordinary design and manufacturing; disruptive technology; tangible differentiators from competitors and exceptional attention to detail.
We are actively seeking an experienced Public Relations Intern to join our team, working remotely.
The Shamin Abas Intern is responsible for assisting team members in executing creative marketing communications programs for clients, as well as providing back-up administrative support. Interns are encouraged to be a contributing member of the firm; we value and support the desire to learn and to get involved, but it will be the Intern’s task to take initiative. We want to introduce them to the demanding, exciting, and rewarding world of public relations and provide them with the skills necessary to enter the workforce.
Tasks include, but are not limited to: reading newspaper/online articles daily; drafting press materials, including press releases, pitches, and social media content; compiling/qualifying media lists; performing research and presenting findings; collecting/clipping publicity; other tasks as assigned by team members. This is a valuable opportunity to work side by side with a team of professionals and clients across the ultra-luxury realm including the automotive, yachting, aviation, design, and lifestyle industries.
