Last semester we started a new series on this blog: a segment devoted to news from our Communication alumni. Today, we are featuring Anna Watson who received her degree in PR and Advertising in 2009. Anna served as the St. Edward's University Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) president in 2008-09 and just moved back to Austin a few months ago for a job as an account manager with Global Marketing Solutions at Facebook.
In addition to her day-to-day work with clients, Anna is working with the Austin steering committee of the Facebook Women's organization. Prior to joining Facebook, Anna was an account executive with the Greensboro, NC content marketing agency, Pace Communications, working with Verizon Wireless. While at Pace, two of her initiatives received 2011 Pearl awards from the Custom Content Council of America, including the Gold award in Best Overall Digital Strategy and Silver in Best Mobile Application.
