This program was designed around the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, a world-wide recognized event on advertising, and a great opportunity for communications students to learn, network, and grow as professionals. Starting in Paris, the program visits different branding and PR companies and then travels to Cannes to experience four days of the advertising festival on the unrivaled setting of the French Riviera. Traveling down the Mediterranean coast, the second stop is Barcelona, a city that combines the perfect environment for startup incubators and larger multinationals in the communications field. The trip ends in Milan, the global capital for fashion, where students are offered the opportunity to meet with representatives of marketing and branding in the design industry.
