Day Sixteen: Ketchum Pleon
Wednesday, my class visited Ketchum Pleon, an extremely prestigious and well-known public relations agency. Working for an agency has always been on the top of my career prospects list. I was very interested to hear what our speakers said. They explained the in’s and out’s of life at a PR agency, their different departments, and presented a few case studies. It’s definitely beneficial to learn about these things from young practicing professionals. It was really interesting because one of the speakers was from the US originally, so hearing her story was cool.
After the visit, I got together with one of my friends from school, Margaret. Margaret goes to Iowa with me, but has been studying at the London School of Economics all year. She’s been in London since October, so she is much more experienced with the lifestyle than I am. We went to the National Gallery to look at the amazing artwork on display there. She had already been there, so she was my tour guide for the day. After the museum, we went to dinner at a Japanese restaurant and I met a few of her friends. It was such a fun day, and so great to see Margaret since I haven’t seen her since Christmas break!
