Beginnings

Hi Everyone,

My name is Sophie McKay and I’m currently in my final semester of a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Public Relations at Curtin University.  Upon arriving back in Perth following a semester in England I was faced with the task of finding a suitable placement for my PR393 Internship. 

I researched options in Perth, emailed my resume to a number of organisations and heard back from Cannings Purple.  I attended an interview with the Managing Director Warrick Hazeldine and National Director Karen Brown in late July and was offered a part time intern position to fulfill the requirements of my PR393 Internship.

Cannings Purple is a rapidly growing strategic communication consultancy based in Perth.  Specialising in corporate affairs and investor relations, they boast an extensive range of clients including Landcorp, Bunge Australia and The Gold Resources Response Group and operate successfully across a number of sectors.


I’m looking forward to starting my internship at Cannings Purple and operating out of their West Perth office for the next two months.  This will be my first opportunity since commencing my degree that I will be able to apply the theory learnt over the past two years and be involved in a ‘real life’ public relations organisation!
