A Rainy British but Italian Day
Today’s agenda seemed a lot more hectic when looking at the schedule. My class had to wake up early for today’s lectures. The first lecture was Battenhall. 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: Media Visits and Oxford Street
Wednesday, May 8, 2019 I’m going to apologize in advance for my lack of pictures today. I don’t know what it is about London, but every place we visit has amazing hospitality. Today, we visited Battenhall and Burson, Cohn & Wolfe and both places had beautiful spreads with breakfast pastries, fruit, juices, and water. They […]
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 […]
Day 3: Battenhall & BCW
Two media visits today. The first was Battenhall. The agency has had all kinds of success. They don’t even seek out business, it comes to them. Drew explained how he started his 50+ employee business with just him and it has grown to its current size. The staff rotated and presented on different topics including […]
Day Two: An adventure
Okay so today was pretty grand, I woke up and had fruit for breakfast (vegan af). Anyways, we went to Regents and I have thee best lookin’ blister you will ever set eyes on (on my left ankle). A gift really. So then we saw Jason who was dope, he wasn’t boring or too much […]
Day One: aka the most tiresome day I’ve experienced in years
Okay so, let me start off by saying that this was a super nerve-wrecking, exciting and productive day. Day one of this trip, I knew would be full of “pinch me” moments, feeling like you’re not “across the pond” and trying to get accustomed to people driving on the WRONG side of the road. So […]
Day 3: Bittersweet Symphony – The Verve
We had a wonderful day today filled with visits from some of the coolest creatives in London! We left the hotel early to make our visit with the agency Battenhall. As soon as we walked in, I knew that we were in a creative space with plants hanging all over the place and the relaxed […]
