Full-Time Fellow (recent college graduate)
About Us: E&V is a full-service strategic communications agency based in Raleigh, N.C. We help our clients find their voice – what to say, when, where, and how to say it. And then we get the right people talking about them – the right way – through the right channels. That’s what leads to not only getting our clients noticed, but making them successful.
Our Services:
- Brand Management
- Issue Advocacy
- Reputation Management

About the Fellowship: The fellowship program at E&V allows fellows to dive deep into E&V culture and assigned accounts. They are onboarded to three-four accounts and will become an integral part of the team by attending internal and/or client meetings. Our agency’s leaders believe it’s E&V’s duty to help our industry continue to grow in the Triangle and make it the best it can be for the businesses established here every day. So, we search for give-back opportunities to the community and industry, and we approach our fellowship program no differently. Structured as part mentorship program, part pre-entry-level job, we give our fellows a great deal of freedom, while also offering dedicated fellowship advisors to guide them, as needed. We not only invest in professional development opportunities that help our fellows thrive at E&V, but also expand our sessions to industry-wide content that will benefit them throughout their career. Throughout the fellowship program, fellows’ managers also aim to harness and strengthen the same five key qualities all full-time E&V staff seek to demonstrate each day:
- Drive
- Discipline
- Excellence
- Mastery
- Leadership
