This summer I joined the team at Muckle Media for a 4-week internship through
the UNLOCKED programme created by the John Doe group.

Coming from a completely different background in healthcare and after almost a
year on maternity leave, I think nervous was an understatement but from the
minute I joined, the team at Muckle made me feel right at home.

I have learned so much from everyone about the work a PR agency does, it’s
been fascinating to see all the different strands of marketing work together to
bring a campaign to life and truly no two days have been the same.

I’ve had the opportunity to join brainstorming meetings for clients, brush up on
creating media lists, press releases and sell-ins. I’ve learned how to monitor the
results of those for clients and create coverage reports.

The Muckle team have kindly spent the time to teach me the various aspects of
working in a PR team from social media to design and building media relations.
It’s been an incredibly rewarding experience working here and the team are very
eager to help, and have, very patiently, answered my many questions. I will
leave not only with the knowledge I’ve gained from my time here but also more
confident in my ability to continue on to a career in PR.

I’m very grateful to both the Unlocked programme and everyone in the Muckle
Media offices for the experience and time spent here. It has definitely set me up
well for the future.
