Outside the Square

A learning lab for budding PR professionals

Each year – from July to end October  - AUT’s final year PR degree and post-grad students run their own Public Relations Agency called Outside the Square. This unique programme has helped hundreds of not-for-profit organisations achieve excellent PR results often for little or no budget.

Working in teams of 2 - 5, the students can draw up and implement a communications strategy, plan a large event or friendraising activity, write reports, news releases or newsletters or even launch a product. They’ll tackle projects with energy and enthusiasm.

They work on a voluntary basis, and only with not-for-profit clients, or in partnership with a PR consultancy. The projects should be ones they can ‘own’ from the start and complete in a 10 – 12 week time frame.

Senior AUT Communication staff and handpicked professional PR mentors closely monitor their work so that clients can feel confident they are benefiting from a high standard of work.
