Fellowship Program (July – December 2023)

Named America’s best boutique agency in 2021 and 2022, Clyde Group is seeking rising stars to join our award-winning communications agency as part of our Clyde Fellowship Program. We are currently accepting resumes for the July – December 2023 cohort of fellows. Under our vision to be the best agency to work for, we’re a principles-driven firm disrupting “business as usual” in communications through creative strategy focused entirely on results-driven client service. Our work deals with exciting national-level issues, including healthcare, education, agriculture, financial services, non-profits, civil rights, and more. Clyde Group team members should have an interest in, and enthusiasm for, the development of a rapidly growing agency. Our team is creative, ambitious, collaborative, and highly rewarded.

The Clyde Fellowship Program is designed to give recent college graduates hands-on experience in an agency environment and kickstart their career in public relations. Our Clyde Fellows play a crucial support role on 3 to 5 client accounts, as well as take on content, research, and creative tasks across the agency. In addition, through a professional development curriculum, Clyde Fellows gain industry expertise and receive: training in technical skills and industry tools; résumé and cover letter writing workshops and interview coaching; and mentorship from across the organization and at every level.

Clyde Fellows also participate in a semester-long capstone project where they work collaboratively with guidance from their managers to develop and present an original public relations campaign to address a real-world client issue.

To apply, you should have:

• Excellent writing and grammar skills
• Some understanding of, or experience in, public relations or public affairs
• Proven time management and organizational skills
• An interest in boldly picking up the phone and “pitching” reporters with client stories
• Basic understanding of digital communications, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn
• A healthy appetite for news and information, especially related to industry trends, issues, politics, and policy
• The desire to work with a cross-functional, integrated team to deliver award-winning work
• A commitment to uphold and defend the highest levels of ethical conduct
• A desire to work in a fun, fluid, and fast-paced start-up environment
• Respect for a culturally-diverse team
• The ability to work 40 hours a week
• The ability to work from our DC office
