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 7: Brunch & The Beatles
For once, my day didn’t start early in the morning! We had the morning free, so I was able to sleep in and feel nice and refreshed for the day. I went to breakfast with Mya Burns and Maddy King at this cute cafe right outside our hotel called Rubens. I had a cinnamon and […]
Day 5: Visiting the Queen
Today was the day we said goodbye to London and hello to Windsor! After four busy days in the bustling city, it was refreshing to take a step outside of it all and experience the beauty of the countryside and smaller town of Windsor. As a fan of the Royal Family, I was extremely excited […]
Day 7: Alexa, play “Eleanor Rigby”
Alexa, play “Eleanor Rigby” by The Beatles. It’s Mother’s Day and I’ve only seen my mum once, maybe twice, in the last five months, so I’m missing her today – but I am certainly sending my love from the United Kingdom to the United States. <3 Back on track – it was relaxing to have […]
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 6: Alexa, play “Sugar We’re Goin Down”
Alexa, play “Sugar We’re Goin Down” by Fall Out Boy. When you think of an small town in England, Stratford-upon-Avon is what comes to mind. The timber-frame homes, small marketplace and local shops made for cute Pinterest-esque photo opportunities during our short time in Stratford. Our main experience in Stratford was to be the guided […]
Day 6: Shakespeare & Stratford
After getting breakfast at our hotel, our group started the morning off with a guided tour of Stratford-Upon-Avon. Our guide was very insightful and full of Shakespeare knowledge. She took us around Stratford-Upon-Avon, walking through parks, a cemetery, church, and up and down the main streets of Stratford-Upon-Avon. […]
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 […]
Lovely Stratford on Avon Doth Not Disappoint
After a good night’s sleep and yet again a wonderful breakfast at our hotel, we set off to explore Stratford with our guide Vicky. A primary teacher who is also into archeology and teaches that part time at the university level, she proved to be a font of information about Shakespeare. She stunned several of […]
