Public Relations Intern

Boelter + Lincoln

Boelter + Lincoln is a full-service advertising agency located in Milwaukee's Third Ward.

For over 42+ years, B+L has helped clients build their brands with creative, results-oriented solutions. Unlike the typical client/agency relationship, many of these partnerships have turned into long-term friendships that get stronger each year. Why? Maybe it has something to do with our roll-up-your-sleeves Midwestern work ethic. We immerse ourselves in our client’s business, listening, collaborating, and innovating; finding solutions for problems. Selected as One Of The Best Places To Work by Milwaukee Business Journal, B+L’s staff tenure is almost twice the industry standard, which tells you a lot about some solid company culture. We believe strongly in a healthy work/life balance.
