Public Relations NST II Round | 2014/2015
Intro Dear AIESEC in Italy, There’s nothing new in saying that our organization is doing everyday something amazing and that there is no such thing in Italy as AIESEC, but we lack of external relevance and we do not always excell in communicate externally why and what we do. The good news is that you can contribute by using a tool called PR, and the even better news is that running the right PR activities in a proper way we can really have a huge impact on AIESEC in Italy. That’s why we decided to rethink about what is really important for our organization and to challenge ourselves by innovating our strategies. If you are willing to take a challenge, dare do be ambitious, represent AIESEC in Italy’s voice and face, make a difference on a large scale...well, this is probably the opportunity you are looking for. Good luck! Gaia
