Kellogg's PR and Communications Intern - 12 Month Placement

Job description

At Kellogg's we have a vision of enriching and delighting the world through foods and brands that matter; with the purpose of nourishing families so that they can flourish and thrive.

Our Vision and Purpose are at the heart of everything we do. Simple yet powerful, they define why we're here and where we're going - made possible by the extraordinary talent of everyone who works here. People like you. Our heritage, through the inspiration of W.K. Kellogg, continues to drive our company and keeps us committed to creating a stronger future every day, by putting people first in everything we do.

Operating in more than 180 countries, across 6 continents, with dedication and passion from each and every one of our 30,000 employees, we are extremely proud of our ever growing portfolio of over 1,600 food products, which include iconic brands such as Pringles, Frosties, Special K and Corn Flakes.

Our company is a place where innovation lives on, where we never stop learning and where we're excited about tomorrow. It is this belief that brings us together and sets us apart.

WHAT WILL I BE DOING?
Help us grab some grrrreat headlines! We're on the hunt for someone who's passionate about public relations to join the in-house PR team at Kellogg's for a 12-month placement.

We're looking for someone who's passionate about public relations to help make us as famous for our PR as we are for our brands.

From our MediaCity, Salford headquarters, you will play a role in promoting our iconic brands – from Kellogg's Corn Flakes to Pringles - and our community work (like our school breakfast club programme) to the UK press.

But, like any in-house PR role, you'll need to be ready to try your hand at different things. That's why we're looking for someone who can help out with our internal communications, events and corporate social responsibility programmes too.

Whether you are studying for a degree in PR isn't important, but a ferocious appetite for the media and a willingness to roll up your sleeves and muck-in is.

As a Kellogg intern you will have the opportunity to experience a challenging, meaningful role that contributes to our business. During your placement at Kellogg's you'll be building your network and expertise in a thriving environment of professional development and teamwork.
