Agency experience in the fast run – two weeks at Ballou PR

Avatar-Foto Phil Dwyer - 2nd Jun, 2017

Hi, my name is Linda. As part of an internsthip I’m doing at Bitkom, Germany’s biggest Tech Association, I’ve spent the past two weeks working at Ballou PR in Berlin to get a little taste of what it’s like to work in an agency.

Although two weeks isn’t a huge amount of time, I got the chance to work on many different projects at Ballou.

Tasks ranged from writing a press release about how to buy your wardrobe, translating some text about tax issues to brainstorming for social media campaigns. It turns out working in a PR agency requires a pretty diverse mix of skills. It was challenging but really exciting to familiarise myself with lots of different business models and content themes.

One of the main things I learned at Ballou PR is that every company has an interesting story to tell, you just need to find it. Sometimes the challenge is to convince clients that this doesn’t have to be solely about their core business, but should always link to the wider ecosystem.

Big thanks to Ballou PR for a great two weeks, loads of new insights and making me feel like a part of your team!
