Beyond the Pines is Whitworth's student-run public relations agency. The group meets during the fall and spring semesters to provide a wide range of services to nonprofit organizations in the greater Spokane area.
Our Team
The agency is overseen by a faculty advisor, who is responsible for initial contact with clients, overseeing the quality of student work and providing guidance to students.
Students can serve in three different roles:
- Account managers: responsible for communication between the client and the students and for coordinating students' efforts
- Creative team: responsible for creating and designing various materials
- Logistics specialists: responsible for assisting with details – often including research and contacting outside groups – in completing projects
What We Do
Our group offers a wide range of skills to complete a variety of public relations work. Past projects include the following:
- Branding materials, such as logos
- Event planning
- Audience analysis
- Website design/redesign
- Social media strategy
- Focus groups/research
- Flyers, posters and other offline materials

Our group completes work pro bono. Students are eager to gain experience in public relations; this results in free, high-quality work tailored to organizations' needs.
