Talking Dog

My favorite memory of Talking Dog is winning the end-of-year client showcase my first year; the relief, joy, and camaraderie made it an incredible experience and a rewarding end to an action-packed year.

When I was researching graduate schools, Talking Dog caught my eye, and was actually a determining factor in my decision to attend UGA. I loved the idea of getting hands-on, tangible experience that complemented what I was learning in my courses.

I joined Talking Dog to gain real world experience through applying classroom skills & to get more involved with Grady College.

I am a big believer in DOING > LEARNING. Talking Dog gives students the opportunity to work on real campaigns for major corporations, having a true effect on their business by actually applying what is learned in our classrooms.

I joined Talking Dog to gain a broader perspective of the advertising industry while collaborating with students who have different passions, skills, and creative perspectives. I wanted the opportunity to learn how an advertising agency operates, grow as a designer and communicator, and be part of a community that challenges me to create meaningful work.

I originally joined Talking Dog as a transfer student to build connections at Grady, but it ended up shaping my entire college experience. It brought me an incredible network of friends and mentors while consistently pushing me to learn through peer mentorship and real world team activations!

My favorite memory in Talking Dog was presenting at BOTB with my team last year. Getting to see all the work we had put in throughout the year come together, and share that moment, the pride and excitement made it one of the most memorable experiences of my undergrad!

I joined Talking Dog to gain a more holistic understanding of the advertising industry and learn how different roles work together. I also wanted hands-on experience collaborating with people who bring different skills, ideas, and perspectives to a team.

The biggest benefits of being in Talking Dog would definitely be the amount of hands-on experience you gain. Talking Dog gives you the chance to work on a team of people with various talents, all working towards the same mission.

Talking Dog has defined my college experience, and getting involved sophomore year was the best decision I’ve made at Grady. The opportunity to plan, create, execute and present a full-scale ADPR campaign from the ground up is something not every college student gets to experience.

The biggest benefit of Talking Dog is the exposure to agency structure and client relationships. I have a better understanding of the industry I am hoping to pursue and was able to apply that knowledge daily in my internship this summer.

I joined Talking Dog to explore my interest in marketing and advertising. I have always been passionate about this area of work, and I knew Talking Dog would expose me to a plethora of opportunities (which it has).

The biggest benefits of joining Talking Dog are the networking and valuable industry experience you gain. Additionally, it is a great opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and make close friends!

My favorite memory with Talking Dog was preparing for our annual Battle of the Brands presentation last year. Before even presenting our work to anyone else, planning how we would tell our story made it apparent how far my team had come and just how much time and effort we had put in since our client reveal in the fall.
