Halfway There!

Hello all!

I’m Sarah Wood, a senior from N.C. State (That’s me to the right). I joined Articulon in January as a public relations intern and am excited to report that I have now reached the halfway mark. It’s gone by so fast, but I’m learning so much.

Working at an agency is definitely different from working for one organization. Instead of working with one client, you’re working with multiple clients daily on different projects. The projects vary, which is great because it provides more opportunities to learn and utilize your creativity. With one client we could be working on rebranding a new identity to target a broader audience, and another client we could be working on revamping their website to be up-to-date.

Most assuredly, a lot of things can go on during a day at a public relations/branding agency. Now that I’m halfway toward the end, I’m definitely excited to see what will come my way when I get back from spring break.

And speaking of spring break, I will be going down to Louisiana with an organization from N.C. State, Center for Student Leadership, Ethics and Public Service (CSLEPS), on an alternative spring break trip to work with Habitat for Humanity on a site near the Gulf Coast, one of the disaster areas from Hurricane Katrina. I know my group and I are eager to go down there and help the communities in need and learn a little about that Louisiana culture that we don’t see up here!

While I’m gone I’ll take pictures and bring them back to share so people can see what we did and what we learned. When I get back I know the other half of the final semester of my college days and the other half of my internship will be waiting on me. I will be excited to come back and learn, but for now this intern is headed south and might end up on the bayou!

Be back soon!

– Sarah
