Recently the Fleishman-Hillard Washington, D.C. office teamed up with the LAGRANT Foundation on a career workshop for 20 local college students. The LAGRANT Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to increase the number of ethnic minorities in the fields of advertising, marketing and public relations.
Fleishman-Hillard’s partnership with LAGRANT goes back several years and includes two previous career workshops in Los Angeles and St. Louis.
Along with a number of FH DC account staff, I had the opportunity to lead a three-hour workshop for students from American University, Georgetown University, George Washington University, Howard University and the University of Maryland.
The presentation provided a global overview of FH, an in-depth look at FH DC, information on FH’s specialty practice groups (Hispania, African-American, Out Front) and internship program, and an interactive Q&A session about social media and job search tactics.
It was a fantastic event and will surely lead to further opportunities for both the students and FH DC.

Thank you for supporting the LAGRANT Foundation! While I was unable to attend this workshop, I was excited to see this blog post and read about the day. As a LAGRANT Foundation Scholar I value and appreciate the opportunities companies like Fleishman-Hillard offer and just wanted to say thanks on behalf of all the scholars who couldn’t be there.
I am a current LAGRANT Foundation Scholar and I am glad to know that your company supports and sees the value of giving minorities and equal opportunity. I hope to hear from your company and be considered as a summer intern.
