Public Relations & Communications - Burlington, Vermont, United States
Maple Street Media was born out of a need for a student-run PR firm at Champlain College. The college's chapter of PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America) built this firm around a set of values important to the group and to the community they lived in. Innovation, collaboration, and localvore interests are what inspired our students to do what they do best: problem solve. With a non profit client looking for solutions, PRSSA students headed to Indiana. They took part in the 2016 national PRSSA conference and had the opportunity to listen and speak to other chapter firms, learning from these stories, the failures and unexpected successes. This information helped build the firm from the ground up.
