This weekend, March 5-8, the PRSSA chapter from Ohio University will be traveling to Chicago to tour six major agencies and attend a networking dinner. Many students participating have only just begun venturing into social media networking on the professional level. You can track our progress by visiting here. If you wish to communicate with the group, please use the Twitter hashtag #ouchi09. We would love to hear any and all advice/comments/encouragement as we explore Chicago together.
The chapter has been split into two smaller groups so that each can visit three agencies. We have scheduled meetings with the following firms:
* Ketchum
* Fleishman-Hillard
* Ogilvy
* Edelman
* Ruder Finn
* Weber Shandwick
If you wish to meet with us at the Hard Rock Cafe on Friday evening, please send me a DM @PaulMatson or @ScrippsPRSSA. In addition, several members of the chapter will be taking footage of their experience which is being compiled into a YouTube video. If you are in the area, we would love to have you featured as well.
Thank you to everyone who has assisted in putting this trip together. In short, this explains my absence from posting the past few weeks. Upon our return, I will be able to resume my normal posting schedule. I will also be guest blogging on PRofessional Development next week with CMU's Rachel Esterline.
You are always welcome to leave a comment or send me an email at pauljmatson (at) gmail (dot) com.
