My public relations work experience week at Partners PR was an amazing experience and it was a lovely change from my regular week at school. I wanted to do something that would help me in the future and I was pleased to get the opportunity to explore PR in an agency setting.

I had a vague understanding of what public relations is and wanted to give it a try. I’ve learnt so much from the team and now think it’s something I’d like to do in the future. It’s given me a great insight into what’s involved in working day to day in a Yorkshire PR agency.  

Before this week, I didn’t realise how vital PR was to a growing business. I’ve now found out how PR helps companies build and maintain a positive reputation and how companies can manage crisis communications in case things unexpectedly go wrong.

To do well at this job you need to have a fun and creative side that enjoys creating pieces of work that thousands of people will see and read. I got to experience firsthand how hard Partners PR works to make sure their clients get the recognition they deserve.  

Working at Partners PR has given me a greater interest in working in this industry in the future. Anyone who is enthusiastic about making an impact on what businesses or consumers see online or in person should consider exploring a career in PR.  

I’ve enjoyed my week learning about PR and I’ve obviously enjoyed meeting up with the lovely office dog, Flo. It’s been a fun and fascinating week and what I’ve experienced will help me in the future.
