The spring is always an insanely busy time here at BIGfish: post-CES follow up, Taste of Iceland, press events and much, much more, so we rely heavily on our interns to help out with some pretty important projects. This semester we were lucky enough to have not one but two incredibly talented and hardworking public relations interns on our team: Bella & Karoline. They helped with social media, media lists, pitching (and securing coverage for our clients!), writing blog posts and a plethora of other things.

Check back later this summer to apply for our fall PR internship!
