My last semester in the public relations department has been very rewarding. I’ve taken away many skills, and I have grown in so many ways. Throughout the process I learned the true meaning of teamwork and how important it is to build trust within your group.

In my Advanced Public Relations course at the University of South Florida, small teams were created to develop and implement a public relations campaign for a client in the Tampa Bay area. It was an incredible experience that taught me about life, commitment, balance and of course, public relations.

I had a fabulous team that motivated, inspired and worked together to develop a successful campaign for our client. Throughout the various stages of the campaign, my team was there to support one another and to provide feedback and constructive criticism to each member.  Our campaign would not have been what it became without the leadership and teamwork that was exhibited through each member. They were incredible.

My team supported one another even when the clock could not provide us with any extra time. We pulled all-nighters and found ways to make each other laugh when bumps in the road became up-hill climbs. Together, we got through every step, side by side.

Each member had different duties that were their personal responsibilities. My team, however, recognized the importance of teamwork and united together throughout the entire campaign process. We shared our ideas, our skills and our individual talents  to create a campaign that our client can use to further their organization’s success.

Without the support and the constant teamwork from each member, our campaign would not have been what it became. Teamwork is an essential tool to lead a business to success. It is what lead my team to victory.
