Fun fact: My friends refer to me as "Nugget" at all times, but that's probably because I am a total of five feet tall.


What exactly is Pinterest?  Pinterest is a virtual corkboard that allows you to bookmark and share your online interests by "pinning" them to your boards.  They can be used for a variety of things such as planning a wedding, decorating your future home or saving your favorite pumpkin spice recipes!  Although it is super addicting and helps you avoid your homework for a few hours, it is a great tool to organize things you like and share them with your friends.  Tech Crunch, a blog centered around technology start-ups, claims that "Pinterest Joins Twitter And Facebook As The Newest Self-Expression Engine."

This week at PRSSA, we heard two very different perspectives about public relation (PR) strategy in the digital space. Kaitlyn Denhihy (UGA ’09), a digital strategist at Engauge in Atlanta, shared a little about life at an advertising agency and case studies from two recent digital campaigns. Life at an agency is crazy and fun, but at the end of the day, they are working hard to create measureable success for clients. Denhihy stressed the importance of networking (both digitally and IRL (in real life)), and securing internships that are hands-on. Once you get experience, you become a great asset to potential employers. After all, we are the digital generation; in the age of social media we are the first generation that grew up surrounded by technology. And this is exactly what employers are looking for in entry-level hires.
