Company description:

HamletHub is meeting the demand from community residents to know what is going on in their town. HamletHub is the source for information on events, weather, breaking news, local politics, and police activity for towns. Residents can not only read the news, but now they can help write it, and discuss it. We strive to be a place where messages are heard and responses are reacted to immediately. Whether it is building a new middle school, local school board agendas, or an upcoming charity event, most issues affecting communities are unknown or misunderstood, and HamletHub is changing that.

Due to our rapid growth, there are many opportunities for students to learn about every aspect of a business, from marketing and strategy to building an infrastructure capable of scaling. We have a new office in the heart of Ridgefield, CT that is designed to be a bright and spacious place to write and work, and interact with other journalists and media executives. Hamlethub
