From our interns: Claire’s experience
Interning at Adoni has led to one of the most valuable experiences of my student life. Not only did I develop my skills, I learned industry knowledge from my colleagues.
I came to Adoni with a lot of journalism experience but without much PR experience.
Studying a Bachelor of Journalism and Communications at The University of Queensland (UQ) provided me with the opportunity to complete an internship that would introduce me to the industry. So, I researched PR companies and found Adoni. The rest is history.
My other experiences at numerous news and media organisations (Channel 9, 4ZZZ Radio, PropertyMash.com, the Fraser Coast Chronicle & Orange Sky), prepared me to embrace the challenging and fulling world of PR.
Majoring in PR at UQ taught me the basics skills, but it was at Adoni I learned how to use these professionally and create great content for various clients.
The people at Adoni were super helpful and made me feel like I was a part of the team instantly and I can’t thank them enough for this experience.
This has led to me achieving a part-time position at Adoni as a Communications Assistant, which I couldn’t be more thrilled about.
My Adoni Journey
To understand why I enjoyed my time at Adoni, let’s travel back to the beginning.
I was a starry-eyed University student only a semester away from graduating, trying to gain some industry knowledge before I stepped out into that big wide world.
I had no real-life major PR experience but was willing to learn anything I could about the profession.
From day one, the Adoni Media team took me in and raised me as one of their own. I learned skills in SEO, how to create media and client databases, write articles styled for clients, research, create social media content, call newsrooms, pitch ideas and so much more.
I also learned how to create graphics for social media posts and work with programs like Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Cloud, Canva and Wrike.
There was never a moment at Adoni that I felt out of place and the team always encouraged me to work my hardest and achieve great results.
If there was ever a moment where I was unsure of what I was meant to be doing or needed some clarification, the people at Adoni were always willing to give me a hand.
From that shy University student, I feel as though I have emerged as a confident PR professional, who can achieve anything.
I am really excited and grateful that I can continue my journey at Adoni Media and learn more from these amazing people.
