On May 16, the last day in Scotland and of the trip, the entire group embarked on a ghost tour. At this point, it is safe to say that some were feeling relieved at the thought that we would be home in 24 hours, some were feeling upset at having to say goodbye to this […]

Day 4: I Hearst London
I woke up very excited to go to the Hearst. Not only am I a fan of so many of the companies and magazines they work with, I knew we would be sitting at a panel with Kenya Hunt, who I am a huge fan of. Not being able to grab breakfast I left the […]
The British Broadcasting Corporation
It seems as though no matter what your interests are there is something that comes out of the British Broadcasting Corporation that is right for you. The 2006 BBC facility addition, Quay House, exemplifies this sentiment. Whether you are interested in seeing how the world’s largest public broadcasting corporation is innovating to use modern technologies, […]
Day 3: Battenhall and Beyond
Day three in the UK and it started off with a bit of rain. In the morning, we headed off to Battenhall, a very amazing agency in London. We met with an array of people, starting with the founder, Drew Benvie. He stressed the importance of social media, and how he saw the importance of […]
There’s No Place Like Home
I’m coming for my cat!!! We woke up at the crack of dawn again to catch our flight to London, so we could connect straight to Pittsburgh. That was easy peasy. My luggage got through fine. The ride was nice. BUT we arrived at Heathrow and our flight starts to get delayed, and continues to […]
There is Rest for the Wicked
I have been waiting for this day all week. It was the free day! I decided what my body truly needed was rest, so I let myself sleep in for a little bit (only until 11). Threw a cute outfit on and put some shades on. I stopped for some toast down at the hotel […]
Putting Media Visits to a Rest
We started early once again. This is all new to me because I think I have said it before but I normally don’t wake up until 11 at the earliest. We were going to talk to Ollie Davis from the Fringe Society, who host the Fringe Fine Arts Festival, which is the largest street festival in […]
Traumatized before 10 a.m.
We woke up nice and early for our flight to Edinburgh. We got the nicest bus we ever got for our 10-minute drive to the airport. What was about to happen to me in this airport I was not ready for though. I was traumatized this morning. I was bringing a carry-on bag, and I […]
Media City or Emerald City
We were back to being up and at it in the morning, and we met at 9:15 a.m. in business casual for an hour-long ride to Manchester to get to Salford University and BBC. When we arrived, the space was so cool. I didn’t realize they were in the same little complex of businesses. They […]
Let’s all go in a Yellow Submarine
Today had a really good start. I got to sleep in. I still ended up getting up at like 10:30, so I could go to brunch with my friends. We met at a brunch place called The Hub that was pretty close to our hotel. Everyone had to meet back at the hotel lobby to go […]
