Public Relations Intern Fall Semester 2025 (part-time, paid) - Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism
Shhhhhhhhh … Hear that sound? That’s 32 miles of sugar-white sand beaches along the Alabama Gulf Coast calling out with a great part-time (paid) internship opportunity for the Fall 2025 semester! Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Tourism, the official destination marketing organization for Alabama’s Beaches, is looking for an outstanding college student eager to get real-world public relations experience in the super-fun tourism industry!
In your beachy internship, you will team up with the two-person Public Relations Team to promote Alabama’s Beaches to regional, national, and international travel-focused journalists and bloggers. You will work within the organization’s Marketing Department to see how PR, social media, branding, and advertising work together. The beach ballads we develop are diverse – the beach, water activities, a stellar culinary scene (all that great Gulf seafood), nature and the outdoors, golf, fishing, history, special events, and so much more. We work hard and juggle a lot of beachballs here, including pitching story ideas, assisting media outlets/journalists/bloggers with information and photography needs, planning media visits, working closely with our tourism industry partners, and then tracking media interactions, media coverage, and measuring our success.
Our empty beach chair is a good fit for a college student in the public relations/communications field who lives along the Alabama Gulf Coast and can work up to 20 hours per week. Your beach bag should be filled with strong writing abilities, solid organizational and time management skills, a passion to learn, and a lot of “never the same thing from day to day” flexibility. (Yes, we know summer is the normal time for internships, but while the nature of our tourism destination is that summer is the super busy season for visitors, the summer months are the slowest for our PR work efforts. We want our interns to get real work experience, and much of our busiest work happens in the fall.)
To toss your flip-flops in the application pool, the full job description and online application can be found at www.GulfShores.com https://bit.ly/ALBeachesPRIntern. Please include your résumé with a cover letter explaining why you chose public relations/communications as your major and why you are interested in this internship, along with a link to an online portfolio or attach two writing samples. The deadline to submit is Friday, March 28, 2025.
