Your branded content BFF 📣 Content strategy & editorial direction for B2C considered purchase brands 💭 I lead content marketing programs that drive loyalty, create brand affinity & build audience trust
When I was 23 and desperate to break into the magazine world, I turned down an internship at Time, Inc. An undergrad professor and long-time columnist for Sports Illustrated set up an interview for me with one of the big-time editors there. This professor had taught my Magazine Writing class and was the first person to tell me that I could make a career out of writing. I had no idea how to do that, of course. But I moved to NYC and commenced applying to "writer" jobs. When this interview came up, I was ecstatic. One weekend morning, I took the 1 train to 50th Street and walked to the Time Life building, adjacent to Radio City Music Hall and Rockefeller Center. It was a Devil Wears Prada fever dream. 😈 I had a lovely chat with the editor. I was truly in over my head, but he was kind and asked me a lot of questions about my writing. And then he explained that the opportunity to work as his part-time assistant was an unpaid internship, and that I would have to be available during random weekdays. I was already temping as a receptionist during the day and working evening and weekend shifts at the children's section of the Upper West Side Barnes & Noble to afford my half of the rent and a Metrocard (which was $79 a month, omg). I knew I couldn't hack it as a waitress or bartender. I couldn't rely on my parents to pay my rent. I needed a day job. And so I turned it down. Nevertheless, I eventually got where I wanted to go, after a two-year detour as a lace salesperson, followed by student-loan-funded graduate journalism school. In J-school, I landed a paid internship at Meredith over the summer; after graduation, I got a full-time role as a local news reporter. 📣 The ability to take a low-paid or unpaid internship is a privilege. 📣 It has nothing to do with work ethic. There's simple math involved for many of us: You need X dollars to survive. There are 24 hours in a day. If you work 8-10 of them unpaid, how can you make X dollars in the remaining waking hours? Sometimes, you can figure it out. I couldn't. When we talk about the GymShark job or the absurd salary "ranges" posted for jobs from $25,000 to $600,000 or the unpaid "opportunities" lurking around the boards, we're talking about exploitation, but also about privilege. Many of us don't have the privilege to take these exploitative positions in the first place. We need to stop legitimizing them by crowing about the "access" they provide. Labor is labor and no one should have to work for free to jumpstart their career.

⭐️ Experienced Fractional CMO | 📈 CPG Growth Accelerator Proven To Profitably Scale Brands | 💡Innovation Strategist | 🔥 Omnichannel Expert
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Way to go Megan Bungeroth ! This needed to be said, and based on the engagement the post has gotten, unpaid internships and low pay for lots of experience are far to common practices. I often hear of people “discussing” (read: complaining) about not being able to hire marketers, and inevitably someone will suggest “hiring” an unpaid intern for the summer or a semester. Hiring = paying, otherwise it’s a volunteer position and should be advertised as such. I didn’t have the luxury of taking an unpaid internship in undergrad, and for the same reason, I attended grad school at Southern Methodist University as a professional student, working FULL TIME during the day. Your girl had bills to pay, including student loans. But, as always, I did what I had to do and here’s what I learned: 💡Time is money 💰 💡 Know your worth (then add tax, gratuity, and round up to the nearest dollar 🤣) 💡 Respect people’s expertise 💡 If you value the work enough to bring someone on, then pay them accordingly 💡 Marketing is a discipline, you get what you pay (for just like everything else 😉) #marketing #paidinternship #fractionalcmo #cpg #consumerproducts #retailindustry

Even at the age of 34 I am still having to reject applying for my dream organisations in the #tourism #heritage and #VisitorExperience space because I would need a second job to be able to afford to live. And as a disabled individual I just can't put myself in that position. Simply put, too many roles in the industry are low paid, part-time (but don't offer flexibility to have another job) or fixed-term for very short periods of time and therefore massively lacking in security. I've never had ambitions to be in a manager role, my passion comes from engaging with stakeholders and audiences working 'on the ground' and using my own practice while being a disabled person to inspire others to be more inclusive and deliver impactful experiences. But when you look at what jobs are on offer the majority that can be considered to have a wage that you can live on are at a senior level only. Despite being ten years into my career, it's hard to not be disappointed with how little has improved in the industry in the area of worker inclusion, access and job security. #inclusion #hr #JobSeeking #JobHunting #DisabilityAwareness #Employment #Opportunity #OpenForWork #Work #OpenPosition #VisitorEconomy #UK

I once attended a session about the job market for college students. A prominent HR professional messed it all up by humiliating some students that raised a question about unpaid internships and she asked them: -"what you're studying?" -"what do you actually know about that?" Trying to justify exploitation with "gaining experience". Too bad we couldn't ask her if her clients were paying her invoices with knowledge and experience. As a student coming from a different city and on a full scholarship, I knew I was in the wrong room. How do you even get to the job? What will you eat during lunch breaks? What will you wear to be presentable and honor the institution you'll represent? How are you fulfilling all the needs a human being must to be able to have peace of mind to perform your job? To those things, nobody has ever been capable of providing answers so far...

This is a super interesting argument. Me and my friends have talked about paid and unpaid internships in many occasions. On the one hand we all want paid internships. Labour is labour and we all deserve to feel appreciated for our work. On the other hand entry level jobs have decreased immensely. Many of us students can simply not find work experience at all during or after university. Now many companies have to pay their interns a lot of them decide that they don’t have the budget to have any interns at all. It is a dilemma that I have not been able to solve in my head yet. Do you suffer being broke and accept the unpaid work experience or do you not have any work experience at all? Also being broke for a bit is the good scenario. Like Megan has explained, many of us have rent to pay. Even if you would want to, in many occasions you can’t take the unpaid offer because you can’t afford it. And then only the privileged get to start with the unpaid jobs and work themselves up. Meanwhile low-income kids miss out on those opportunities. But now that there is a lack of all entry level opportunities, the ones that are suffering are the ones at the bottom once again. With only a few vacancies, a lot of people apply for the same jobs. Only a minority get them, most of them from a privileged background for many reasons (education, time etc). Or people get into their industries soley from connections. Or people move to big cities like London to make it and countries like Scotland experience brain drain. Urgh, I don’t know. I don’t quite have a solution yet.

What prepared you for a career in public relations? ✏️ A degree in journalism with a major in public relations, and internships with the Appalachian Ohio Public Interest Campaign (AOPIC) and my dad's advertising firm prepared me for a career in PR. AOPIC helped the 'non-influential' citizens of Southeast Ohio combat fracking threats. I wrote their press releases, attended events, and wrote and issued the newsletter. My dad taught me how to run an agency and the PR classes taught me 'technical' skills like the elements of a news release and how to put together a press kit and write like a journalist. Obtaining a PR degree is worthwhile. If someone is exploring the PR field, find an internship or PR volunteer job to try it out or simply, take a class.

The way you spend you time and energy matters, and interests can play a part. Interests can be fun as a standalone or they can extend into unpaid or paid roles. What are your interests and do they leak into other areas of your career? *And if it does, the best ideas on whether to and how to will come from you, but by asking we can help you consider what role interests might play.

Today's instalment of 'things I wish I knew' comes from Tom Ingoldby, Velvet's senior account director. Check our page again tomorrow for the next tip! * * That we’re all (kind of) making it up as we go along * * I sort of fell into PR - it wasn’t part of my life plan. I did a Masters in Film, filmed a sitcom pilot as part of my dissertation and wanted to be a script writer. I was obviously going to write the new ‘Friends’. It was just a matter of when. So to fill some time during my post-uni summer, I got an internship at FRANK PR. The reason? My mate did it and said it was fun. So I thought, why not? And I loved it. Forget ‘Friends’, I was all about FRANK. A couple more internships followed and then I got a proper, big boy job at Chameleon.Turns out I loved b2b tech PR. And the rest, as they say, is history. The point is, none of this was part of the plan. The sitcom script still remains half-written, I’ve dipped my toes into FMCG PR and then back to tech, and now I’m part of the SLT at Velvet - where I believe I have found my home. All the time, learning as I go, working things out, making mistakes. A bit of bullshitting, a bit of false confidence, a bit of cheekiness but always a goal to get better, to progress and to learn. And the more you progress, your lack of original lifeplan means less and less. My colleagues over the years have ranged from ex-Royal editors for tabloids, to former rock stars who toured with Metallica, and even someone who invented an odourless dog poo bag. But what did they all have in common? They never planned to be in PR. Did it matter? No - they were all great at their jobs which they learned on the go. I guess it takes all sorts to make a PR professional. #publicrelations #PR #communications #PRagency #digitalPR #velvetpr #clevercomms
