SMU PRSSA Kickoff: Agency Tour With FleishmanHillard

The Public Relations Student Society of America chapter at SMU is excited to kick off its first agency tour event of the new school year! On Wednesday, October 1st, students will have the opportunity to visit FleishmanHillard, an industry-leading, global PR and marketing firm, with a base in Dallas, TX. 

What to expect?

• Students will learn about what agency life is like, specifically at FleishmanHillard. 
• Students will have the opportunity to take an on-site facility tour and participate in a Q&A session with PR professionals. 
• Remember to dress to impress! Either business casual or professional is acceptable.

Why should you attend?

Agency tours are a great way to expand your knowledge of the PR industry, network, and develop possible mentors. No matter where you are in your career journey, it is never too early to put your foot in the door at agencies. 

FleishmanHillard is most notable for its specialized work in brand and reputation management. The organization has offices across the world and has worked on a variety of projects ranging from the fields of Sports and Lifestyle to Government and the Public Sector. This unique opportunity will allow students to get a glimpse of what working at a renowned PR agency looks like and learn more about one of the largest PR firms in Dallas. 

This agency is also home to SMU’s very own Jennifer Little. Little is a Senior Partner and General Manager at FleishmanHillard, as well as an adjunct professor in the CCPA department. Truly a great way to see a professor of practice in action!
