“All Things Advertising” Continues with VaynerMedia

In the spring of 2023, leveraging connections across the advertising industry, our program organizers launched the “All Things Advertising” Field Trip - an immersive experience that provides our young men the chance to explore the advertising industry and learn about the various roles & responsibilities associated with entry-level positions and internships. In years past, our Kings have visited EssenceMediacomm, Saatchi & Saatchi NY, TikTok, Hearst, BBH/LeTruc, & Amazon offices. They participated in real-world brainstorming and campaign development exercises, which left them educated and feeling inspired to pursue this sort of work in their own academic and professional journeys.

During our second outing in 2024, Foday Koroma, a Kismet alum, originally joined us as a chaperone, but leveraged the opportunity to network with industry executives and landed himself an internship with BBH/LeTruc. His journey is a true testament to the impact that career exposure experiences like these have on the young men in our community. 

On August 14th, we hosted our fourth such field trip young men of Kismet of Kings will be visiting the top social media creative & production agency in the industry, VaynerMedia, as an extension of KoK Summer Entrepreneurial Program. 

The morning started with a VaynerX Overview and discussion on how to pursue a career in advertising. The Kings then pitched the business concepts they’ve been developing in preparation for breakout “maker” sessions, where VaynerMedia strategists & creatives helped them make, in real time, social media ads for their companies - culminating in a watch party to see who came up with the best creative!
