Day 4: Still Not Sure What PR Is

Another day, another media visit. Today we had two visits with two different PR agencies, Battenhall and Burston, Cohn, and Wolfe. First we walked to Battenhall. It was raining and the walk there was slightly disheartening, but my mood quickly improved once we got there. First of all, the office space was decorated in a […]

Day 3: Media Day

Day 3: A Rainy London Day

Our day began with a rainy walk to Battenhall, a communications agency specializing in social media. The company was founded by Drew Benvie, who noticed the need for an agency focused on the digital world. After starting the company 6 years ago, the agency has grown to over 50 employees with international staff and partners. […]

Battenhall is a popular PR agency who is quite different than the rest. The lecture was intense and long due to all the different people who talked but […]

Day Three: Fairytales exist in London

Everyone always says the second night of sleep is the worst. I was naive and didn’t believe what was being told of me. I thought that if we did so much during the day that I would be able to sleep not only peacefully at night, but throughout the entire night. This just wasn’t the […]

Day Three: An Airport Romance

Today felt like forever, but not necessarily in a bad way. The day started early with two media visits on deck for the morning and afternoon. I was excited to get into the more intense side of the media visits for this trip, but was nervous I would possibly burn out before the start of […]

Day 3: Unlimited Holiday, Unlimited Opportunities

Wow. As if Jason MacKenzie’s extremely interactive lecture yesterday wasn’t interesting enough, today we visited two agencies that were just as intriguing, if not more so. Our first visit of the day was my favorite of the two agencies. It’s name is Battenhall, and I must say that if I was not extremely excited to […]

London Day 3 – Tokyo Drift

Today was a lovely day; rainy and busy, but lovely nonetheless. Our first stop was at a Public Relations agency called Battenhall. After a slightly damp journey, we arrived at the agency for our first lecture. Battenhall is a lot different than most agencies, and is truly unique. We heard from a multitude of people, […]
