Summer Internship Available at CT-based Corporate Marcom-PR Boutique

The JLC Group is offering a spot (starting immediately!) for a smart, savvy and social media-friendly individual who aspires to be a modern day MadMan (or MadWoman).  Our clients include highly-demanding and successful entrepreneurs and corporate executives operating within financial services, technology, insurance, consumer products and risk management sectors.  Our clients engage our firm to help increase brand awareness and further position their respective products and professional services.  You can presume that we are even more demanding than our clients; a quality that sets us apart from others in our space.

The principals of our firm have served as mentors to dozens of young men and women in the course of their college and post college careers. Many of our proteges have since become leaders within start-ups, fast-growth companies and major corporations. Either we’ve always picked the right interns, or we’ve done a great job providing a spring board for people who know how to listen, enjoy learning, are multi-tasking, are able to think out of the box and are not easily-intimidated by challenges or obstacles.
