Talking Dog- UGA Advertising/Public Relations Internship Opportunity

 Juniors and Seniors,


North Oconee High School is partnering with the Department of Advertising and Public Relations in the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia to offer select internships to juniors and seniors. This year, the internship will be virtual and students will be expected to meet weekly via zoom for approximately 1 hour on assigned dates. The internship runs September 2020 - April 2021.


Talking Dog, a full-service, student-led advertising and public relations agency, matches qualified interns with our student teams serving national and local clients. Past clients have included Coca-Cola, Hotel Indigo, The Backpack Project, White Tiger Gourmet, Porsche, and many others. Interns should be prepared to work in a fast-paced team environment and will complete the internship having gained experience in various areas such as: project management, advertising, public relations, digital media production, photography, research and copywriting.


Each intern will be placed on a team of 6-8 UGA Talking Dog students who will be assigned to a national or local client. Interns will be paired with a mentor on each client team and will be working under Soha Imam, Director of Interns, for Talking Dog. Meet Soha below as she guides you through an overview of the agency below.
