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 […]
Day 2: Alexa, play “Take a Walk”
Alexa, play “Take a Walk” by Passion Pit. And I don’t just reference this tune because I amounted 8.1 miles yesterday. Day two began with a lecture by Jason MacKenzie at Regent’s University about the current media landscape in the UK. While in black and white this media visit was labeled at a lecture, it […]
From to Student to Wizard
Day two of London took a fun turn. The morning started off with the class going to Regent’s University where we had a lecture with Jason Mackenzie. The lecture was not a long and boring American lecture that I am used to. He was quite entertaining to listen to while getting my fellow peers involved […]
Day Two: A great start to our media visits
After a good night’s sleep and a filling breakfast, we headed to Regents via the Tube and our first lecture. Jason MacKenzie, managing partner at the Nudge Factory, led a lively session on the Current Landscape of the UK Media, comparing it to our situation and challenging the students to keep the 90-minute session interactive. […]
Day 2: Okay, Eye see you London.
With a full night of sleep, the group felt a little more recharged today and rightfully so because we had a visit to our sister school Regent University here in the heart of London. After some much-needed coffee and breakfast we made our way though the “tubes” of London and found ourselves outside the school […]
