UNLOCKING New Potential | Debbie, Muckle Media Intern

Debbie, Muckle Media Intern

This summer I joined the team at Muckle Media for a 4-week internship through the UNLOCKED programme created by the John Doe Group.

Coming from a completely different background in healthcare and after almost a year on maternity leave, I think nervous was an understatement. But from the minute I joined, the team at Muckle made me feel right at home.

I have learned so much from everyone about the work a PR agency does, it’s been fascinating to see all the different strands of marketing work together to bring a campaign to life and truly no two days have been the same.

I’ve had the opportunity to join brainstorming meetings for clients, brush up on creating media lists, press releases and sell-ins. I’ve learned how to monitor the results of those for clients and create coverage reports.

The Muckle team have kindly spent the time to teach me the various aspects of working in a PR team from social media to design and building media relations. It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience working here and the team are very eager to help, and have, very patiently, answered my many questions. I will leave not only with the knowledge I’ve gained from my time here but also more confidence in my ability to continue on to a career in PR.

I’m very grateful to both the UNLOCKED programme and everyone in the Muckle Media offices for the experience and time spent here. It has definitely set me up well for the future.
