Digital Public Relations

Forbes Advisor is looking for an Intern to join its growing Digital Public Relations (DPR) Data team within Forbes Marketplace, North America.

Working on the Forbes Advisor DPR Data team, you will learn how to research and source high-quality and relevant data available for use in DPR studies and campaigns. Interns will support the DPR Data process: how to interrogate data for geographic, demographic, or other criteria that support the study’s methodology; and how to identify and weigh the key metrics necessary to create a robust multi-source data analysis that is understandable and engaging. Interns may also have opportunities to create data visualisations to illustrate key study points, including maps, charts, and tables.

Because the DPR Data team is part of the broader Forbes Advisor DPR team, you will also learn valuable digital public relations and link-building skills, and may work closely with the Forbes Marketplace Editorial and SEO teams as well. DPR Interns will help support the various projects, campaigns and tasks that are fundamental to the success of the overall DPR team.

The role offers valuable exposure and experience in designing and executing DPR data studies for a successful consumer-facing brand. If you're looking for challenges and opportunities similar to those of a startup, with the benefits of a seasoned and successful company, then read on:
