Unlock your PR potential: Scottish B-Corp agency, Muckle Media to host ‘Introduction to PR’ day in Edinburgh
In support of the agency’s commitment to its employee proposition, ‘Bright Careers. Realised.’ full service creative communications and public relations agency, Muckle Media, is organising an ‘introduction to PR’ day to support those looking to secure their first position within the PR and communications industry.
The event, taking place on Wednesday 5 June at the agency’s office in Edinburgh, will provide insight into the realities of working in PR and communications through a series of workshops, talks and interactive sessions delivered by communications professionals at all levels across Muckle Media.
It will be the first of its kind run by the agency, which hopes it will become a regular event to encourage people to get into the world of PR, giving them real insight into what their career could look like and supporting those who either want to make their start or move into the industry.
Attendees will also be given the opportunity to have their CVs reviewed, network with other participants and the wider Muckle Media team and will be invited to ask questions to an expert Muckle panel as part of an interactive Q&A session.
Linsay Brown, Director and Head of People and Culture, commented: “At Muckle we’re committed to providing opportunities for people from all backgrounds to begin a career in PR and communications. Operating as a pilot, we hope to be able to offer similar events throughout the year to allow more people to benefit from a practical understanding of what it’s like to work in PR and comms. Regardless of age, experience or PR knowledge, the day is open to anyone and will combine theory and practical workshops with the ability to speak to team members at all levels, who have pursued varied routes into PR and comms. We look forward to welcoming participants on the 5th of June and encourage anyone with an interest in taking part in the day to get in touch to find out more.”
This event follows wider work Muckle Media has been doing to bolster Scotland’s PR landscape by promoting working within the sector and empowering people to give explore a career in PR and communications. This includes collaborating with universities, colleges and high schools in Scotland to educate students on careers in PR and a Returners to Communications programme, delivered in 2021, to support individuals who had been out of work for six months or longer to return to or begin a career in PR and communications.
