SCG traveled to New York City for a briefing with client NTT America and The New York Times.  Shannon O’Neill, account executive for SCG, spent the day with NTT America executives and visited the NTT America headquarter office on Park Avenue.

Shannon said The New York Times building in Times Square was stunning. She was not only impressed with the architecture (especially the lobby garden), but also thrilled to have the opportunity to venture inside the offices of one of the largest metropolitan newspapers in the U.S.

SCG is excited to welcome aboard Nicholas Smith.  He will be participating in SCG’s 3-month internship program, which provides students with the opportunity to gain practical, real-life work experience in the field of public relations.

Nicholas is a senior at the University of Virginia (UVA), where he is a candidate for B.A. degrees in Economics, as well as Political Philosophy, Policy and Law with a minor in Leadership through the McIntire School of Commerce.  He first recognized his interest in public relations while working for the Charlottesville activist group, Advocates for a Sustainable Albemarle Population.

Nicholas currently writes for UVA’s student newspaper, Cavalier Daily.  In addition, he is actively involved in the Community Engagement and Environmental Sustainability committees of the Student Council, a program developer for UVA’s Resident Life Office, a volunteer at Madison House community service organization and a brother of the international business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi.

In his spare time, Nicholas enjoys going to the gym, reading about sci-fi and fantasy, and volunteering for various environmental conservation and community sustainability groups.
