Baltimore Marketing Agency Trek
Carey marketing students participated in the Baltimore Marketing Agency Trek on November 14, 2024. The experience brought students to two local marketing agencies: Media Works and Weber Shandwick. The day began at Media Works, where students engaged in a panel discussion with industry professionals and learned about opportunities and events with the American Advertising Federation and American Marketing Association. The group then visited Weber Shandwick and learned about award-winning campaigns, discussed case studies for large brands such as Pop-Tarts and Maryland Department of Transit, and networked with employees during a happy hour with all Weber Shandwick employees. Students left inspired by the insights and connections gained throughout the trek.
