Lawlor Media Group Internship
Pros or Benefits
I took a 5-month internship at Lawlor Media Group last year, and it was a fantastic experience. Indeed, I was introduced to the world of public relations and how it operates. I was requested to handle a variety of tasks, including clipping, client searches, deliveries, and event planning... I worked a lot of live events for a few customers who we represented in a variety of industries (restaurants, fashion, real estate, magazines...).
Cons
Work hours are long, with only a lunch break. There are no paid internships available.
Management Guidance
Delegate and try to trust your employees a little more.

083: 21C Media Group Brings Classical Music Into The Digital Age
Cultural charities were named the MVP in various categories in M+R's 2017 Benchmarks Study. The increase in email list size was more than double the national average for nonprofits (21 percent compared to 10 percent ). Signup rates for website visitors were also higher than typical for cultural NGOs, at 2.7 percent compared to the overall average of 1.1 percent. In terms of email list size, this industry also has the greatest Twitter and Instagram audiences.
We sat down with lawlor Media Group, a leading public relations, digital, and consulting company specializing in the performing arts world, whose digital clients include Plácido Domingo, Joshua Bell, and Yo-Yo Ma, and on the institutional side, they work with nonprofit organizations like the Los Angeles Opera, Opera Philadelphia, and the National Symphony Orchestra. (How about the YouTube Symphony Orchestra, as well?) They were involved in it.) One major concern we have is how to keep classical music and the performing arts relevant in the digital era.
Sean Michael Gross, 21C's Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer, who joined the firm in 2007 and formed 21C's digital business in 2009, answers our question. Fun fact: Before joining Whole Whale in 2017, Sean was Account Strategist Whaler Olivia Marlowe-employer Giovetti's at 21C (hashtag-battleofthebosses?).
Public Relations Specialists' Favorite Cities
Journalists rely on public relations pros to help them explain their tales. It's time to repay the favor. ValuePenguin looked at three factors – median pay, cost of living, and location quotient – to see which cities in the United States are the best for PR professionals to call home (more on our methodology below).
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the 208,030 men and women worked in public relations in the United States in 2014 earned an average of $64,050, or $30.79 per hour. (Managers in public relations and fundraising earned nearly twice as much, $115,400, but their data was not included in our analysis.) After analyzing more data from 337 cities, we discovered that working as a public relations specialist differs in a number of ways.
The Top Five Cities for Public Relations Professionals
These five cities received the highest marks out of 337 total. They are spread over five states and three time zones. Existence as a public relations specialist is different for each of them, but overall, it's a pleasant life.
Washington, D.C.* is number one.
D.C. takes the top spot on our list, with the greatest location quotient (a parameter indicating the demand for a PR professional's services) and the highest annual average compensation ($97,270). The city, which is home to some of the most image-conscious firms – and individuals – has its fair share of public and private sector employers. They even have their own Meetup group, which we guess is where the battle stories are shared and heard.
Arlington, Virginia, and Alexandria, Maryland are part of the statistical region.
New York
New York City, as the country's most populous city, has the most job openings, with 19,470. To put that figure in context, the average American city has only 565 public relations jobs. In addition, 79 percent of New York's PR employment are located in New York City, which is joined in our top 25 by in-state rivals Albany and Ithaca. In 2014, Edelman, the self-described "world's largest public relations agency," had 5,308 workers and approximately $800 million in net fees.
White Plains, New York, and Wayne, New Jersey are included in this statistical region.
San Francisco (California) is the third largest city in the United States
San Francisco compensates for having the highest cost of living in the United States (it costs 100 percent more to live here than in the typical city) by having the third-highest yearly average pay ($83,530). San Francisco, which ranks ahead of California towns Sacramento (seventh), San Jose (14th), and Los Angeles (14th) in our study's top 20, is a favorite summer internship option for flexible students due to its closeness to Silicon Valley firms. The San Francisco Public Relations Round Table, which marked its 75th anniversary last year, is home to numerous senior-level PR practitioners.
San Mateo and Redwood City, California, are part of the statistical region.
Madison, Wisconsin is number four.
Madison, the least densely populated of our top five cities (with only 1,210 jobs), is ranked fourth. It beat out more media-heavy Midwestern cities like Chicago as the only city from Wisconsin to make the top 80. Madison, like other cities with strong PR communities, has a significant chapter of the Public Relations Society of America, which is based in New York City and has more than 21,000 members nationwide.
Austin, Texas is number five.
Austin, the only city from Texas to make the top 20, is home to the University of Texas at Austin's Stan Richards School of Advertising & Public Relations, which is regarded as one of the best in the country. Only New York (31), Pennsylvania (30), and California (17) offer more universities with programs for aspiring public relations students. According to the data, Austin is the most affordable city on the list, costing 2% less to live in than any other American city.
Round Rock, Texas and San Marcos, Texas are included in the statistical region.
What's it like to work in public relations in your city?
It's not just about the numbers; there's also a human element to how welcoming a city is to a certain professional. We polled public relations experts in seven cities to find out their thoughts on the topic. This is what they had to say about it.
New York City
“There is a plethora of creative talent and innovative organizations in New York. You must go outside of the box and discover a creative edge to make yourself and your client stand out. While this can be challenging at times due to how huge New York can feel and how many outstanding individuals live and work here, it also makes it exciting and motivates me to work harder to help clients achieve greater success.” — Blue Foundation Media's Jess Camp
“Working in live entertainment in New York is difficult because there are always a hundred other events that look and sound just like yours. There is an overflow of information due to the sheer quantity of things going on, making it difficult to stand out in a journalist's mind.” — John Capo | Public Relations by John Capo
“Being a publicist in New York City is the best job in the world because the city is like a media pressure cooker. Aside from being the country's largest media market, the variety of media means that publicists must learn how to pitch a national TV show, a professional trade journal, and a non-traditional online influencer all at the same time. Because the media's attention is so valuable in this town, publicists are expected to be the best at what they do in order to cut through the noise and establish relationships. On the other hand, it means you have a lot of opportunities to learn, grow, and advance in your job. Furthermore, publicists in New York have more access to top celebrities, nationally known events, and one-of-a-kind initiatives than in any other city. I have PR acquaintances in different places, and I've noticed that their work tends to be more focused on the local market. Because they don't have direct access to national media, their clientele and work tend to gravitate toward local outlets. However, I have acquaintances who work in the national media, particularly in Los Angeles and Chicago, but who must fly to New York to do any in-person networking.” Alterna Haircare's Tyler Williams
“New York is the global media capital. It's the ultimate public relations proving ground. I've worked with PR companies and publicists all throughout North America, and I'd say their quality of life is probably better, even if their professional view is a little less global and behind the trends.” Lawlor Media Group's Norah Lawlor
“We're headquartered in Northern Westchester, so we arrange media days for customers there with various media based here because we're only a short train ride from the city. It's a competitive advantage for other public relations firms or company.” — BlueChip Financial Public Relations' Bill Bonigiorno
Los Angeles, California, is the fourteenth largest city in the United States.
“Working as a publicist in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles is fantastic since there are constantly events to attend with your clients. Many journalists are also headquartered here, so it's fantastic to be able to drop by their offices, say hello, and discuss your clients with them. JAG Entertainment | Melinda Jackson
Seattle, Washington is number 16 on the list.
“We have clientele from all across the United States, as well as overseas. The issue with PR in a huge market like Seattle, Tacoma (where I now live), or the San Francisco Bay Area (where I grew up and began my PR career) is that competition is severe, and getting local attention for your clients is more difficult.” Three Girls Media, Inc. — Erika Taylor Montgomery
Phoenix, Arizona (34).
“Many digital agencies in Phoenix (and elsewhere) try to add public relations to their service offerings and fail miserably. There are only a few holistic public relations company that gets it, and even fewer companies established here that can fully get the benefits of public relations and execute it effectively. You're on your own out here, and you'll need to create a network of media contacts and industry colleagues outside of Phoenix.” DriveTime | Chris Piper
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (59).
“Because I work with a lot of country music singers, a lot of people assume I'm situated in Nashville. But, seriously... These days, it doesn't matter. I've collaborated with artists from Canada, the United States, and Sweden. Artists from Alaska, Washington, Missouri, Nashville, and other places have performed for me. I've only ever had one Pittsburgh-based artist. Because it's a worldwide market with everything available at the touch of a button, it shouldn't matter where you're from as long as you know what you're doing and have the contacts.” MTS Management Group's Michael Stover
Chicago, Ill. (64).
“Chicago is wonderful for PR because it isn't as overpowering as New York City or Los Angeles, and you can form genuine connections with the media and fans. Also, if you work in sports, Chicago is a fantastic city.” rEvolution | Dan Lobring
“I've worked in Chicago media for nearly 30 years... There are so many fantastic eateries in Chicago. I'm a restaurant and food product representative who specializes in representing restaurants and food products. In Chicago, we are tremendous foodies, and I adore that about our city.” Andrea Foreman | Andrea Foreman Public Relations
“Chicago has a massive media presence that is only rivaled by New York and Los Angeles, so I believe it makes life a little simpler having so many wonderful media outlets right here in our hometown. If you want to work in a PR agency, we have lots of openings; if you want to work in a corporate or in-house setting, we also have plenty of openings.” Triumph Books | Bill Ames
“Working as a public relations specialist in Chicago provides you with fantastic access to a wide range of venues and sources. Working as a public relations specialist in a big city has many advantages. I have buddies in Los Angeles and Miami. They have unrestricted access to resources. There may be a benefit to expanding your client base. A bigger city means a bigger population, which means more opportunities.” — The Media Group, Inc.'s Danielle Sorresso
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (65).
“Our area of expertise isn't so much geographic as it is industry-specific. We've established ourselves as market leaders in the retail sector, as well as those who provide services and products to retailers. Because of the entertainment nature of L.A. and the amount of corporations based in New York, New York and L.A. are always the leading cities in PR. However, we've seen that companies that specialize in a specific niche industry continue to do well no matter where they are located.” Annex Communication Methodology | Kelly Coughlin
These were the three main questions we considered when compiling the list.
1. How much can a public relations specialist earn in the city?
On the basis of median annual compensation, we evaluated the top cities for PR professionals. When it comes to establishing a career or relocating, income is most likely the most significant issue to consider. A high pay in an expensive city, on the other hand, may be less appealing than a lesser wage in a less costly city. The affordability of our next metric is taken into account.
2. What is the cost of living in this city?
We'll move on to the cost of living now that we've established the median pay. The cost of living is a measurement of how far one's money can stretch. In our analysis, cities with lower cost of living index numbers were ranked higher. The average city, for example, is given a score of 100. A city with a cost of living index of 157, such as Washington, D.C., means that living expenses are 57 percent higher on average than the national average.
3. What is the city's location quotient for PR professionals?
Although a location with a high median pay and low cost of living may appear ideal, work possibilities may be few. This is explained by our third component, which favors cities with large location quotients. The location quotient compares the concentration of public relations experts in a given area as a percentage of all occupations to the national average. A higher location quotient, we believe, indicates a larger demand for public relations services.
