SGPR is a creatively-driven media relations, influencer, and experiential agency championing a personal approach to public relations.

Our clients range from Fortune 500 brands to challenger startups. We’ve launched brands that challenge the norm like Billie, tapped the Green M&M as Zappos’ newest “shoefluencer” ahead of the Super Bowl, when M&M’s spokescandies were put on hiatus, and poked fun at McDonald's broken ice cream machines with Jack In The Box.

Don't be fooled by the name - while the agency may have been founded by two "small girls" (our founders are as self-deprecating as they are short), we are committed to being a diverse and high-performing company that is dedicated to creating an inspiring workplace for everyone - including men (who sit on both our leadership and people policy team) and taller individuals (who compromise of the entire company save for a few even smaller smalls).

What is the SGPR Summer Fellowship?

The Summer Fellowship is a 12-week full-time work experience and training program running June 2nd, 2025 through August 22nd, 2025. Open to Spring (May or June) 2025 graduates only, this paid and highly competitive opportunity will give aspiring communications professionals the chance to learn from and work alongside the team at Small Girls PR as full contributing team members (aka no coffee runs!). The aim of the SGPR Summer Fellowship is to prepare recent graduates with the foundational skills necessary for most entry-level jobs in PR, communications, and beyond.

To qualify for the Fellowship, we are looking for candidates who are able to work out of our NY or LA office 2x/per week (on a predetermined schedule that optimizes in-office collaboration with a fellow’s respective team). Additionally, this opportunity has the potential to lead to permanent, full-time employment as an Account Coordinator, therefore all eligible applicants must be willing to work out of our NY or LA office 2x/per week upon completion of the Fellowship, as it is a condition of accepting a spot in the Fellowship program. While the Fellowship offers the potential for a full-time position, it is not guaranteed. Transition to a full-time role depends on multiple factors, including the Fellow’s performance and the company’s current hiring needs.

How you’ll make an impact:

• Join one of our teams who work across a variety of client industries including retail & beauty, consumer technology, social impact, wellness, influencer marketing and more
• Attend specifically designed training sessions on topics such as: media list building, reporter relationships, pitch crafting, influencer marketing, and public speaking etc. 
• Learn how to build and develop media relationships through personalized pitching efforts to reporters, editors, and influencers and begin to create your network
• Source and curate relevant media and influencer lists that your team can use for future events and storytelling opportunities 
• Be your team's organizer by keeping an inventory of digital assets, attending weekly calls + taking notes, and ad hoc tasks as needed
• Track your team’s success by pulsing search engines, alerts, and social media to ensure all client placements and mentions are monitored, captured, and interpreted
• Attend regular virtual brainstorms and come up with innovative ways to create shareworthy moments for clients and obtain editor attention
• Contribute to the drafting and writing of media materials for brands

Why we’ll love you:

• Detail-oriented: Can spot a typo a mile away, diligent with formatting, double checks everything twice, and never forgets or misses a deadline
• Self-starter: You are exhilarated by the opportunity to own entire projects and assignments. You feel totally comfortable being autonomous
• Creativity: You love coming up with new and experimental ways for everything
• Efficient: You are able to work quickly without sacrificing work quality
• High standards: You expect personal performance and team performance to be nothing short of the best

The Fellowship is a paid opportunity which will be provided in the form of a stipend. This year’s stipend will be $9,600 and will be paid out on a biweekly basis.

SGPR will make sure you have everything you need to excel in this role including:

• Additional $100 stipend to be used to support your work-from-home setup (plus company-provided laptop) for the 3 days working outside of the office.
• Reimbursement for roundtrip MetroCard to cover travel on in-office days
• 2 PTO days as well as 2 sick days to use throughout the 12 weeks in addition to company observed holidays during the period
• 3 WFAnywhere days which means you have a bank of days that you can use to “work from anywhere” during the Fellowship rather than from the office.
• Access to professional development programs geared specifically toward Fellows just beginning their careers, including how to write a pitch, influencer marketing, experiential marketing and more!
