Hey guys. Today I will finally venture away from the third person to write about my departure from Street Attack. I’m Preston Landers, and I’ve been an intern at Street Attack since February. On Monday, I leave for a semester abroad in Australia’s University of New South Wales. I’ll be a stones throw away from the Great Barrier Reef.

As a member of the Street Attack creative team, I contributed dozens of experiential and digital promotion proposals. In my time at the head of Street Attack’s social media, I increased our Twitter followers by nearly 100 and created the Facebook account that I have since helped to gain over 330 fans. Yet, beneath it all, it’s not the proposals I have written or the virtual friends I have amassed that I am most proud of – it is the actual experiences I participated in and the great friends I have made.

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity Street Attack has given me and this internship has most definitely influenced where my marketing career will head in the years to come. Street Attack has proved the perfect forum for me to “flex my creative muscles.” I’ll surely be attacking streets long after I’m outta here.

(Also, I managed to sneak a pretty great recipe for smoked salmon on this blog a few months ago. I recommend you find it and try it out. )
