TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - And the winner is…Kaitlyn Hastings! Hastings won Season Two of “The PR Apprentice” competition, hosted by Kidd Public Relations. The opportunity allowed four mighty interns to not only gain experience in public relations, but also compete for prizes, and ultimately a real job.
Each week, interns completed tasks for non-profit client GovLoop, a social networking platform for government employees. Alyssa Canales, Kaitlyn Hastings, Sully Moreno and Lynsey Sherman, known as the “fierce four,” competed in challenges ranging from writing traditional press releases to creating strategic plans incorporating social media. All PR Apprentices proved talented, but only one was left standing in the boardroom…holding a job offer.
Hailing from the University of Florida, 21-year-old Hastings will complete her Public Relations degree in spring 2010. She previously worked at The Independent Florida Alligator newspaper and Sahlman Williams Public Relations.
“We congratulate all of the PR Apprentice participants,” said Kelly Robertson, Director of Kidd Public Relations. “By entering this internship, they pushed themselves to grow professionally, and for that they should all be proud.”
