ABOUT OUR INTERNSHIPS

Learn and grow as a Pierpont intern alongside PR and marketing veterans 

Pierpont Communications—one of the top communications and PR firms in the country, with offices in Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, Denver and Phoenix—offers internship opportunities to current college students and recent college graduates. 

At Pierpont, our interns are a valuable part of who we are. That’s because an internship at Pierpont is an opportunity to learn, grow and develop first-hand.  

Our goal is to give interns a diversified experience where they walk away with a deeper understanding of how account teams work, as well as the tactical know-how to meaningfully contribute to areas like media relations, content development, public relations, and public affairs. Pierpont now also offers a digital marketing internship. 

The deadline for applications for Summer 2026 internships is March 1, 2026.

OUR CULTURE

Driven to succeed as individuals and as a team

We are driven to succeed as individuals. But we know that working together, we are even stronger. We foster an environment of respect, encouragement, compassion and inclusion. That means our interns learn how to work as a team and participate in regular roundtables with Pierpont’s senior experts where they can ask questions of our veteran communicators. Pierpont interns also join intern chats where they build their networking skills and forge new connections with their peers.
