My internship at Flare has come to an end. It definitely flew by; I feel like it was just yesterday when I was writing my first blog post, ready to embark on my journey. From helping to plan the World Runway Tour happening in October in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, to attending events, organizing media lists and the typical (not-so-glamorous) intern tasks, I experienced a lot and learned more about what I want to do. I was actually asked to stay longer to help plan the whole World Runway Tour but I made the tough decision to turn it down. Some people would think that I’m crazy for doing so but in the same way that I knew my place at my previous digital agency wasn’t for me, continuing my internship with Flare wasn’t for me either.
Going to miss these girls!
Although I loved being exposed to everything in the fashion industry and enjoyed the planning I had started for the World Runway Tour, I also really enjoyed liaising with the media and missed the agency side of things. I definitely don’t regret leaving my previous agency because this internship was a great experience and I learned something huge, which is a slight alteration in where I want to take my career. I’m going to give Public Relations a try but not just any PR, PR agencies specializing in fashion, beauty and luxury boutiques. It has all happened so fast but I’ve been offered an internship position with an agency that couldn’t seem like a better fit for me! I’ll tell you how it all came about next time because I start tomorrow, so it’s goodbye Flare, hello Lotus Leaf Communications!! Here we go again.
Goodbye gift from my managers
