PR Intern

Empowering 20-somethings to look, feel and be their best so they can achieve amazing things

At ASOS our 2,000+ ASOSers are immersed in the creative worlds, live on their mobiles and have a truly entrepreneurial attitude. As a company, we’re not trying to mimic or profit from youth culture – we are part of that youth culture.

There’s nothing that excites us more than finding talent, fuelling it, then letting it fly. Whether it’s developing the careers of our staff or investing in a new tech platform, we love knowing that we truly keep fashion moving forward.

Ultimately, we get excited by interesting individuals and we want to feed this individuality, empowering our people and customers to look, feel and be their best so they can achieve amazing things.

This placement will provide a valuable insight into the workings of a busy in-house fashion PR department and will give the candidate the opportunity to grow and build on their experience whilst working within the team. Working within the global PR team, the PR intern works to deliver the smooth running of the PR office and will provide support to the team on a day-to-day basis.
