Futurecamp Findings

As our first semester at humberpr comes to an end we sit here in social media class and reflect on what we have learnt. The class was all atwitter as discussions began.

It is interesting to see how far we have all come; now using social media to its maximum to help us add value wherever our PR careers take us and begin building networks that will help us in the future.

It all comes back to a quote from one of our instructors on the first day of school:
"It is okay to be a B student, but be an A+ networker"

The more I learn about social media the more I learn that it is a great platform to get me the coveted A+ grade. By engaging with coversations with people in the PR industry through Twitter, blog comments, etc. and adding value through your own opinion and knowledge in given areas it can link you with people you would otherwise never have the chance to interact with.

To check out what fellow 1C students have to say check out Caitlin's blog for some 10 second interviews.

Not Your Average Fashion Show...

Last week I was lucky enough to see The Heart Truth Show at LG Fashion Week. It wasn't the typical fashion show that I was expecting. The show consisted of 20 dresses by 20 different designers (with they own solo shows during the week) modelled by 20 powerful Canadian women all working together for one great cause.

It was great to see a relaxed show as the women danced, even shimmied, down the runway. In a week that is driven by fashion it was refreshing to see it working towards gaining awareness of an important cause.

With Olympic Athletes, TV personalities, actors and more there was someone that everyone Canadian woman could identify with.
