RCA is a communications agency, walking the thin line between consultancy and advertising. They are in the top 5 of independent Belgian communications agencies, with a broad range of services: branding, advertising, social media, public communication, PR, online design and marketing,… I joined the RCA PR team as an intern, having a broad range of responsibilities: working on intakes, brainstorm sessions, and executions of PR projects; coordinating briefings and delivery for suppliers and agency teams (copywriting, corporate- and creative teams) and reporting on media coverage. After the 3-month internship, I was able to re-join the team to support them during the summer period of 2014 and 2015 as a job student.
