15 Apr 2024 Little Rock agency hires students for a day
LITTLE ROCK — Public relations students from four universities across Arkansas joined The Communications Group (ComGroup), Arkansas’ premier marketing and public relations agency, at its downtown office for the 2nd Annual ComGroup Classic. The award-winning, intern-led event provides aspiring professionals with industry insight into a full-service agency and highlights the agency’s commitment to mentoring students. This year’s event was immersive, showing students the development and execution of a public relations plan.
ComGroup presented a $500 donation to the University of Central Arkansas Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) Chapter to use toward increasing students’ knowledge of public relations and the communications field.
“We created our internship program to invest in the future of our industry and to develop the next generation of leaders,” said Lora Mosley, ComGroup Public Relations Specialist and Internship Coordinator. “The ComGroup Classic enables us to do so on a larger scale and provides students with insights they can’t obtain inside a classroom, including the collaborative nature of a full-service marketing and public relations agency.”
“Last year’s inaugural ComGroup Classic was a great event for all in attendance,” said Braden Jones, Resident Intern and event coordinator. “We enhanced this year’s experience by providing students a closer look at what agency life is really like.”
ComGroup’s award-winning services in public relations have earned the Bob Sells Best in Show Award from the Arkansas chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) and are led by two APR-accreditedPR professionals. The agency serves a growing portfolio of globally recognized clients throughout North America in a variety of industries including agriculture, B2B and the public sector.
