Members Enjoy Spring Trip to Georgia Aquarium, CNN
IABC @ UGA had a fantastic Spring Trip to the Georgia Aquarium and CNN Headquarters on Friday, April 17. Eighteen students enjoyed an exciting, behind-the-scenes tour of the world's largest aquarium led by Aquarium public relations specialist Francesca Allegra.
During lunch at the CNN Food Court, UGA students were joined by IABC/Atlanta members including president Stephen Boyd from Luckyfish, Southern Company's Tripp Cagle, Jamie Traynor, Jillian Boyd and Renitra Simon, and Jackson Communication's Audraine Jackson.
After successfully passing through CNN security, the group was treated to a very interesting presentation and question/answer session with CNN's digital and off-channel marketing departments.
CNN digital marketing employees discussed CNN Shirt promotions, topical promotions, CNN mobile and iReport, CNN.com video and social media efforts. Additionally, off-channel marketing efforts such as the Democratic and Republican National Conventions' CNN Grill, Black in America, Planet in Peril, and Election Express Yourself were featured.
