Let me paint you a picture of why I felt the need to write this blog post…

The public relations industry here in the U.S. relies heavily on an effective use of the English language. As a field, it is competitive, charismatic and all about the compelling nature of the written and spoken word. To be an effective PR practitioner, the ability to write well is mandatory, be it for business proposals or internal reports, it’s essential. Simultaneously, we also need to speak well for presentations and pitches.

While this is very true, event management is not as simple as it appears. From all of the experience I have on planning events, I have concluded five must-knows as an event planner.

Meet Fall 2014’s First Member of the Month!!

Leave a reply
There’s absolutely no question that TriSight is composed of some of the best and brightest students at USC. Within each client team, our members continue to impress not just their account managers, but the e-board, the clients, and the entire Annenberg community as well. To show off some of the fantastic members that make up TriSight, we have been asking account managers to nominate one member to be in the running for the title of Member of the Month.  After being selected, the Member of the Month is given the opportunity to have a caffeine-fueled meeting with the faculty member of their choice and will be featured on both TriSight’s YouTube account and blog. 

Our first Member of the Month for the Fall 2014 semester is Nathalia Alves Tavares Da Silva. Nathalia, a sophomore who will be graduating in May of 2017, is a Communications major working toward minors in East Asian Languages and Culture, focusing on Chinese, and Video Game Design and Management. While she is originally from Brazil, she has lived in Mexico and China for most of her life. In addition to being a member of the Viterbi team since this summer, Nathalia has been a TriSight member since her freshman year, when she was a member of the SCA team. Aside from being a superstar member of TriSight, she currently works for ASCJ as a part of Stacy Smith’s research group. Additionally, she is a part of the Alpha Chi Omega Sorority and has plans to get more involved in both recruitment and alumni connections within the organization. Nathalia’s favorite part about going to school in Los Angeles is attending events with amazing speakers and having opportunities for hands-on work, especially in the entertainment field.  The next time you see Nathalia, make sure to tell her congratulations!

Want to Practice PR? Then Brand Yourself!!!

By: Jiangwen (Maggie) Hui

At nearly every self-introduction session for a new class, teachers asks students to talk about what kind of PR they would like to practice in the future. Answers are usually very diverse. When you excitedly talk about an area of PR you’re interested in, have you ever wondered not only how you’re going to get there, but how you’re going to be a good PR practitioner in that field? While it’s important to think about how you’re going to get those things, maybe you should start with branding yourself.

In Spring 2014, TriSight Communications worked with filmmakers from the USC School of Cinematic Arts on their short film Tomorrow.  Tomorrow tells the story of two best friends in high school, Trevor (Zachary Roozen) and Clark (Daniel Rashid), growing up and having to face their feelings for each other at a New Year’s Eve party. Directed by Leandro Tadashi and written by Josh Johnson, the film is astonishing in its honesty and authenticity.
