PR and Outreach Intern


 

About Aurganics:

Aurganics is on a mission to revolutionize the skincare experience for Black and brown glow-getters, who have historically been left out of the beauty conversation. We create plant-powered skincare for melanin-rich skin, because our skin is worth more than gold (Au).

We are an ambitious, rapidly growing company that values both personal and professional growth for our entire team. If you thrive in fast-paced environments with a “do what it takes” philosophy and want to gain experience at a beauty startup, this is the place for you.


 

Role Description:

This role is a 6-month-long position with the potential for extension, conditional on superior performance. This position is unpaid, with a start date of April 15th, 8-10 hours of work per week. This role can be used for academic credit.


 

Responsibilities:

  • Create data-driven, community-centered, PR marketing strategy for the year
  • Develop and implement a systemic approach to compile and update media contact lists (i.e., influencers, journalists, podcasts, and media outlets).
  • Prospect influencers that align with brand values, and assist in managing relationships and collaborations within Aurganics’ current influencer network. 
  • Collaborate with team members to ensure we are responding to influencer inquiries in a timely and appropriate manner. 
  • Support the planning, organization, and execution of in-person PR events.
  • Assist in PR efforts by drafting press releases and media pitches.
  • Monitor media coverage and assist in building and maintaining relationships with media partners.
  • Provide weekly updates on progress, content produced, metrics, and KPIs (key performance indicators) in one-on-one meetings with the founder.

Qualifications:

  • Working towards BA or BS or other school equivalent.
  • Demonstrated interest in Public Relations, Communications, Marketing, or Advertising.
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and team player skills


 

What we’re looking for:

  • Creative thinker – excited about the unknown 
  • Media-savvy; enjoys both strategizing PR copy and copy creation (copywriting skills preferred)
  • Exceptional interpersonal and writing skills in interactions with team members, customers, influencers, and media sources
  • Eagerness to learn and adapt in a dynamic, unlimited company environment.
  • Ability to implement constructive feedback and maintain a positive, can-do attitude.
  • Strong time-management skills, dedicating at least 8 hours weekly to Aurganics.

Interested candidates should send their resume and a short paragraph indicating their interest in Aurganics to Sarah Houston (seh80@duke.edu).
