Public Relations and Social Media Intern

Gunpowder Inc.

We are one part PR agency, one part social and content shop and a full-on creative and strategic partner to our clients. Our world revolves around earned media coverage and conversation. Big ideas are our most valuable currency but we earn our keep with workmanlike execution on programs big and small for every size of client, from scrappy start-ups to some of the world’s most trusted and storied brands.

We are wired differently than most agencies. We empower young people to do more than they thought they were capable of. We challenge our clients to stretch beyond their comfort zone. We work our asses off but know the importance of a work/life balance that keeps us fresh and inspired.

Most of our clients are in the enthusiast space. Outdoor recreation brands in the hunting, fishing and watersports categories, motorsports and foodie brands are some of our mainstays. And our people tend to be doers, not just spectators. We fish. We hunt. We ride. We cook. Our clients appreciate that. A lot.
