GolinHarris

Friday I went to the agency tour at GolinHarris with some classmates. Even though it lasted a little longer than expected, I really enjoyed it. Not only was getting to know some classmates a little more nice, but so was seeing a different side of the PR industry.

I seem to go through phases where I get really pumped about working in PR or just hate it. I'm still unsure what I want to do, but visiting GolinHarris was helpful. Seeing people who love what they do is so encouraging; I can only hope to have a job that I feel that passionate about.

The part that interested me the most was probably the lady that spoke about internal communications. I'm still a little unsure what that is exactly, but I think I'd like working within the company better. It seems more like HR than PR.

Some things I've been thinking about that I didn't get a chance to ask at GolinHarris are, How did they react to the movie Fast Food Nation (McDonald's was their very first client), and how exactly do you do internal communications? The lady only talked about what it was for and why they did, not how they did it.

Thank you again Dr. Lambiase for inviting us to go, I thoroughly enjoyed it. For those of you who were unable to attend, you really missed out on an interesting experience.
