Class Year: 2016
Major: Public
Relations, Health Communications
Hometown: Lewis
Center, Ohio
Internship: Bricker
& Eckler LLP
Location: Columbus,
Ohio
Internship Responsibilities: I was a Public Relations and
Marketing Intern at Bricker & Eckler LLP for eight months starting in the
spring of 2014. Bricker & Eckler is
one of Ohio’s leading law firms and has more than 140 attorneys in four offices
located in Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati-Dayton and Marietta. As an intern in the Practice Development
Department, I executed PR and marketing strategies for the law firm, which
included writing blogs, press releases, business letters, articles and internal
communication copy. I performed extensive research, created marketing lists and
regularly updated Bricker’s website.
What I Learned: I have gained experience in HTML coding,
copyediting, fixing broken links, utilizing mass email marketing services,
marketing database management and more. My favorite part of the internship was
my supervisors treating me like an invaluable member of the team and trusted me
with responsibilities that did not consist of typical administrative work. The
assignments given to me from the other eight members of the department made for
incredible learning experiences as well as portfolio samples. In addition, I
found it very cool that I was featured on the company’s Intranet floor plan and
that I had my own phone number.
I learned to take chances and try new things because you
never know what you like until you try it. I am grateful for the incredible
internship I had at Bricker & Eckler and would recommend the firm’s
internship program without reservation to other students studying public
relations, marketing or communications.
