The Firm
Brunswick is an international corporate communications partnership that helps businesses and other organizations address critical communications challenges. We started in London in 1987 and have grown organically into a private partnership with offices in 22 cities around the world. Today, we have over 90 Partners – senior professionals from a range of industry backgrounds including media, government and finance – and a total staff of more than 570. In the U.S. we have offices in New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco and Dallas/Fort Worth. We help clients deal with challenges that can affect their valuation, corporate reputation or ability to achieve business objectives by developing strategies to best communicate both externally (to investors, the media and other stakeholders) and internally (to current and prospective employees).
The Brunswick culture is dynamic, team-based and meritocratic. Brunswick offices are “open office” environments where senior and junior colleagues sit side by side. This creates an environment in which all employees see, hear, and take part in all aspects of the firm’s business.
Opportunity
Real-time monitoring is a crucial part of what we do at Brunswick Group. Keeping the client up to speed on developments is a critical responsibility but also an opportunity to be well informed on our clients’ business, media followers and industry landscape, ensuring we can add maximum value to our advice to clients. We are looking for a “news junkie” who understands the media universe and the importance of information delivery. The Research Monitor Intern will be responsible for using tools such as Factiva, Google News, Google Blogs and Bloomberg to keep our client teams informed when articles/posts are written about our clients and their competitors in real time. The Research Monitor Intern will pull articles as they post, format them and send them across to key members on the team(s). At any given time, the Research Monitor Intern will be looking after 12-20 clients around deals, crises, earnings and announcements. This position is not a telecommuting role and we are looking for someone who can work full time - after a 10-week internship, this position could turn into a full time role for the right candidate!
Responsibilities include:
· Real-time monitoring of key client mentions in the media.
· Keeping up to date on Brunswick Group clients, industries in which we work and our clients’ competitors.
· Working with Global Analysis and Research Center to raise the bar of real-time monitoring for the Firm as a whole.
