Shure Incorporated today announced the winner of the
Company’s second annual “Get the Gig” internship competition. After a process
of three rounds of reviews, Truman University student Brooke Giddens has been
selected to join Shure as the Company’s Artist Relations intern from May
through August 2013.
“Once again, we went through a lengthy review process to
find the right person for one of the best summer internships on the planet,”
said Cory Lorentz, Artist Relations Manager at Shure. “For someone interested
in getting their foot in the door of the music industry, I don’t think I’m
exaggerating when I say this is their dream job. And, believe me…it is a job.
The ‘Get the Gig’ intern will have to work hard, but we feel that Brooke is up
to the task and we look forward to welcoming her into the Shure family.”
This summer, as the “Get the Gig” Artist Relations
intern, Brooke will support Shure by assisting with the execution of social
media campaigns and managing positive relationships with Shure artist endorsers
through personal contact and product support. She will also help coordinate
Shure-sponsored events such as artist clinics and trade shows.
“Given my passion for music, I felt like the ‘Get the
Gig’ program was designed just for me.
This opportunity means everything, and
I’ve never been more pumped to go to work,” said Giddens. “This summer is going
to be an incredible learning experience—another step toward achieving my future
career goals. I can’t wait to understand the music industry more, seeing what
really goes on behind–the-scenes, and to learn from the Shure Artist Relations
team.”
