Press Office intern

TASCHEN is seeking a Press Office intern for its headquarters in Cologne, beginning November 1st, 2009 for a period of one year. The PR Intern will work closely with TASCHEN’s main Press Office to help implement effective PR campaigns and plan book launches and signings for new titles. Familiarity with the publishing industry and international print, online and broadcast media are required, as is an excellent knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook. Perfect German and English are a must, any additional language is an advantage. The work is extremely detail-oriented, so organization and great follow-through skills are also a must. Additional tasks could include maintaining our data base, scanning and filing press clippings, and generally helping out with whatever needs to be done. Passion for the arts, photography, architecture, travel, and fashion are a bonus as is previous PR experience in a similar environment.

If you feel this is you, please send a cover letter and your resume to Veronica Weller, v.weller(at)taschen.com. No phone calls, please.
