Whether Decibel Blue’s client is a world-renown brand or they are a start-up, our approach remains the same. Now in our 17th year of business, our Denver and Phoenix-based public relations agency is steadfast in upholding our brand’s values and taking care of each other and our families. Clients call us easy to work with, imaginative and effective, which is why some have been with us for more than a decade. We are seeking a talented individual who wants to become a member of our team, as a full-time Public Relations Account Executive.
All our accounts employ a team structure. You will never feel like you’ve been abandoned. Well, you might, but it won’t be because of something we did. Besides, that’s what psychologists are for. Initially, you will be asked to play a role on established client teams, and soon (hopefully) will then earn the opportunity to lead new accounts. The people who have flourished at Decibel Blue sincerely believe in the power of a team. We win and lose together and most importantly, we learn together.

What are the details?
Our culture is supportive, collaborative and as trite as it sounds, much like a family (the functional kind). We don’t take ourselves seriously but are very serious about our clients’ businesses. The Trainees are the backbone of our organization and embody everything we believe in.
How do I apply?
Send your resume and cover letter to thecove@decibelblue.com. Tell us why YOU belong at Decibel Blue. We don’t want to know about your classes or your great communication skills. If we wanted token answers, we’d hire your baby sister. DO say something interesting. Be memorable. Nothing impresses us more. Relax. Be yourself. Make it a conversation. Oh, and it helps if you ask what a Honey Bear is.
What can I expect?
Great Trainees understand that you don’t get anywhere in life without paying your dues. You will have typical “intern” duties, however, our promise is to give you a head start on what it means to be a professional in our industry. How to write an effective email. How to handle delicate situations. You will be trained in marketing/advertising/public relations. The ins-and-outs of writing press releases, assembling editorial calendars, pitching reporters, helping clients, developing ad campaigns, using social media. And then some.
We see how you represent Decibel Blue and hear how you interact with our clients and friends. We are casual and like to have fun, but this is still a business. We don’t care if you spend a few minutes scrolling Tik Tok, but deadlines better be met.
You have to earn that Decibel Blue credential on your resume. We don’t hand it out to just anyone. Real life experience is precious. We want you to have it here at Decibel Blue.
Who can a trainee be?
Thunderbird MBA’s, ASU Cronkite and University of Colorado students, career changers, freshmen, professional reporters and college dropouts have all joined the ranks of Decibel Blue Trainees.
And we have had nearly 300. 13 have gone on to have full-time positions with Decibel Blue. Many more work with agencies and companies in Phoenix, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Seattle, Boston, New York and San Diego.
What do I have to commit and what will I get?
We appreciate that the Program is unpaid and people are juggling jobs, families, class and obligations. The ideal time commitment is 15 to 20 hours a week. It takes awhile to learn the ins-and-outs, see accounts start up and campaigns roll out. Most importantly, you need to earn our trust before you will be assigned the more substantial and interesting projects. Whatever your time commitment, make it count instead of just sitting home and playing PS5. It’s your future, folks.
Anything else?
What you put into the Decibel Blue training program will determine what you take away. Work hard, have a great attitude and you will make friendships and professional connections you never imagined. Your resume bullet points will shame your competition in the job market.
We will work with you on your resume, cover letters and interviewing skills. Write recommendations. Cold call employers to sing your praises. We also belong to an international network of PR firms and have the capacity to open doors in dozens of cities around the world.
Once you join our team, you won’t say “you.” You’ll say “we”, and you’ll be proud of it.
When can you start?
To apply, email: thecove@decibelblue.com. Include your résumé and writing samples. Both are required for consideration.
