Creative

October 1, 2009 – This week, Stephanie Marchesi, President, Cohn & Wolfe New York, is the featured blogger on PRWeek’s Insider blog. Stephanie is discussing creativity in the digital age and how the definition of creativity is changing as a result of the incredible interconnectedness of the Web.

Cohn & Wolfe is seeking an intern to join our small and dynamic creative department.

This individual must be organized and capable of juggling multiple projects at once. In addition, he or she should thrive in a fast-paced environment and be able to interact effectively with all levels of employees from junior staff to the CEO.

Projects include everything needed to support a busy Public Relations agency, from RFPs and PowerPoint presentations to traditional print design work including invitations, press kits, newsletters and other collateral for a diverse and high-profile client base including industry leaders in consumer products, pharmaceutical and fashion/beauty.

Previous experience working in a design environment and also interfacing with outside vendors, especially printers is a plus. Knowledge of either Quark and/or InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop is required. Any multi-media experience is a plus. Design environment is Mac with some office utilities on the PC.

We are looking for highly creative, motivational candidates who can deliver on results and are not afraid to think outside of the box. If you are looking for the opportunity to work in graphic design and you enjoy an entrepreneurial fast-paced work environment, Cohn & Wolfe wants to speak with you!

Cohn & Wolfe is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

At times, we use the terms “media agnosticism,” “cross-channel creative” or “non-traditional” to convey the notion that ideas brought to the table by public relations need not be “standard” PR tactics. The concept is a good one and warrants repeating – particularly today. These catch phrases serve to articulate an even simpler truth – ideas rule.

Eight-hundred and twenty-five billion dollars ...  (Place your right pinky finger to the side of your lip when you say that.) Lay 825 billion one-dollar bills end-to-end and they would stretch to the moon and back … and to the moon again … and halfway back.  Forget black holes, these babies are green, complements of the U.S. Treasury.
