After having almost a three hour delay coming home yesterday, I am shocked that I managed to wake up early. I guess my brain is still on London time no matter how little sleep I get. During the delay, the flight home and this morning my mind has drifted back to this lovely trip. I […]

Day 12: Bittersweet Journey Home
We started our last day on our trip quite early as we would be traveling all day. After having a nice breakfast at our hotel, everyone finished packing and headed onto our coach to take us to the airport in Edinburgh. Once at the airport, we checked in, went through security fairly quickly, and waited […]
Day 5: It’s Called Fashion, Look it Up
Today was the day that I was looking forward to the most as far as media visits go. We visited Hearst UK, which is a media publishing parent company that owns many very popular and well-circulated magazines in the UK such as Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping, and Elle (which was the one I was the most […]
Day Four: UK Hearst
Hearst UK is a leading media company that publishes 19 magazines, including Cosmopolitan, Elle, and Good Housekeeping. Their office space was definitely the most awe-inspiring out of our media visits thus far, with offices and “ideation areas” throughout multiple floors of an office building, and an off-site building that contained a test kitchen and testing […]
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 Three: Battenhall and BCW.
This day, we visited two prominent media companies in London – Battenhall and Burson, Cohn, and Wolfe. Battenhall is a newer venture at only 6 years old, but has already won 10 Agency of the Year awards for their innovative work. They are a communications agency for the social media age. They consider social media […]
Day 3: Tired But Determined
On May 7, I woke up to the sounds of the city in London (and my alarm going off a lot earlier than I wanted it to.) I managed to get ready with enough time to grab some hotel breakfast. I tried some baked beans on toast, which is something that is popular here but […]
Day 3: Media Day
Today was the day we had all been waiting for… to finally not be jet lagged and it couldn’t have come at a better time. We had a full day of visiting media agencies on our schedule. Battenhall and Burson Cohn and Wolfe are the first agencies we got to experience in the United Kingdom. […]
Day 4: Last London Day
Today started out with a Starbucks run, only to find out that the drink sizes are not the same in the UK. A venti here in the UK is significantly smaller than the US version, much similar to the US size grande. After getting coffee and porridge (oatmeal), we headed off to start our long […]
Day Four: We were guaranTEAd a good time today
I never thought I would find a city I loved almost as much as I love New York. Anyone who knows me knows that New York City is 100% my place… but then I came to London. The way I’ve been describing London to my family and friends is a New York vibe but in […]
