Public Relations & Brand Strategy Intern

OC Consulting, New York, NY, United States


Summer PR & Brand Strategy Intern — College Credit | New York City

Osmund Charles Consulting (OCC) is a New York–based boutique consultancy specializing in luxury public relations, brand strategy, and wholesale development. Our clients span fine jewelry, fashion, hospitality, and lifestyle — with work spanning press strategy, influencer and KOL partnerships, retail introductions, event production, and editorial storytelling.

We are accepting applications for a Summer 2026 Intern to join our team in New York City.

The Role You will work directly alongside senior leadership on active client accounts from day one — not in a siloed support function. Responsibilities span multiple workstreams and reflect the full scope of boutique agency life:

Press research & outreach

Influencer & KOL research

— identifying and vetting creators, stylists, and cultural figures by category, audience, and aesthetic fit; supporting seeding and gifting coordination

Wholesale & retail buyer research

— identifying target accounts and buyer contacts across specialty retail, boutiques, concept stores, and department stores; supporting outreach and presentation materials

Event support

— assisting with press breakfasts, brand activations, trunk shows, and trade events including logistics, guest coordination, and on-site staffing

Sample & asset coordination

— tracking sample loans, press pulls, and gifting programs across clients

Coverage tracking & reporting

— logging placements, calculating earned media value, and preparing client-facing recaps

Brand materials support

— contributing to pitch decks, lookbooks, one-pagers, and brand narratives

Strong writing skills and genuine interest in luxury, fine jewelry, or fashion

Highly organized, self-directed, and able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously

Sharp research instincts — able to identify the right contacts efficiently

Proficiency in Google Workspace; familiarity with Cision, MuckRack, or Instagram analytics a plus
