About The Program

A successful Fellow at EvolveMKD will have strong, intuitive written and verbal communications skills, and should be fueled by an inner drive to learn new ways of thinking and hone their craft. They should be a self-starter and have strong research, project management and organization skills.

Passion and enthusiasm for the work, as well as team collaboration and respect are required.
Company Overview
EvolveMKD was founded in 2014 by Megan Driscoll as a 100% independent, female-owned agency with a clear mission: to build something intentional, inclusive, and built to last. Twelve years later, that mission has evolved. What began as a PR and digital marketing agency has grown into a Brand Relations agency, exclusively dedicated to helping clients in healthcare, aesthetics, and biotech build and protect the relationships that matter most — the practitioners who recommend a brand, the consumers who champion it, and the media who keep coming back.
We thrive from our restless discontent, constantly looking to elevate our work and our skill set. We're building out a team of high performers with an uncommon level of modesty. Because no one is above the work. From every level, anyone can and does jump in. You'll never hear us say "That's not my job." We live and die off our credo, Be Kind, Don't Suck.
We’re proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work for the ninth year in a row. Additional Agency honors include: 2026 Quantum Certified Workplace, 2026 Digiday Top Workplaces and 2026 Inc. Magazine 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America!
EvolveMKD is based in Manhattan, and we operate on a hybrid schedule (in-office 3 days a week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday). Relocation assistance is not provided.
