London Calling
Why is Global Ad & PR worth doing?
There are many reasons the Global Ad & PR course and trip are worth taking. First, we will be traveling to a city the majority of the class has never visited before. We will be experiencing and absorbing the culture and history of the capital of the United Kingdom. We will have the opportunity to meet and create lasting relationships with industry professionals in the U.K.
This study abroad opportunity is more appealing than other European options, due to the fact that there is an entire semester long course that prepares each student for the trip. Students who study abroad in Florence, Italy are provided with a 4-5 week orientation course before their journey, but having an entire semester before “crossing the pond,” has reassured me that I am extremely well prepared for our trip. The course at Kent State University will include; establishing an area of expertise, contacting advertising and public relations professionals in the U.S. and the U.K., and researching individual fields of interest, tourist attractions and neighborhoods in London.
I am looking forward to visiting top agencies in London. One of the agencies our class will be touring is called We are Social (wearesocial.net). This agency specializes in the understanding of social media with digital, PR, and marketing skills. Some clients include; Heinz, Adidas, Heineken, Kleenex, HP, and PayPal. They plan to open an office in New York City. I am also looking forward to becoming a tourist and experiencing the views of the city at the top of the London Eye, observing the Crown Jewels in the London Tower, shopping in Covent Garden, and catching a football match.
I plan to learn as much as I possibly can through making connections in London that will help me explore job and internship opportunities in the future. I would love to gain insight on creative executions to help me expand my abilities as a copywriter.
I am thrilled about having the opportunity to expand my connections on a global landscape. I am excited about traveling to a city I have never been to before to gain experience in my chosen profession. This is an experience of a lifetime that I will never forget.
