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
  • Video production

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.
