Why Should You Apply to CommAgency?
Applications for CommAgency Spring 2024 are open! We value providing prospective members with as much guidance, advice, and preparation as possible. To help us do this, we asked senior Bella Granada to share her CommAgency journey in order to answer a simple question: Why should you apply to CommAgency?
Bella joined CommAgency in the spring of her sophomore year. This application process was her first time formulating a resume and a cover letter, as well as preparing for an interview? – but she is grateful she did it.?
“I wanted to challenge myself,” said Bella. “I knew that CommAgency worked with real clients and that students got paid, which is another aspect that drew me [here].”
Bella recalls a CommAgency workshop during her first semester regarding the importance of encouraging one another to be their best selves. This beat rings true throughout each department.
“The support system that CA provides was pretty apparent [...], but it’s a really strong foundational element that we have of creating a community,” said Bella. “Everyone around you, not only in your [department], is willing to help and guide you especially if it’s something you aren’t familiar with.”
When Bella’s junior year rolled around, she made the difficult decision to step away from the agency to focus on other opportunities. One opportunity included the ability to study in Los Angeles during the spring of her junior year to participate in the Hollywood Program.?

However, time away allowed Bella to realize she wanted to reintegrate into the world of communications. This involved coming back to CommAgency for her senior year; rejoining the like-minded individuals that allowed her to fall in love with the agency in the first place.
“Being surrounded by other students who are hard working and striving to be their best inspires you to do the same,” said Bella. “There are a lot of people in CommAgency doing cool things, and to be a part of that community of people is really special.”
Getting paid to be passionate and creative is a pretty great thing – but CommAgency offers so much more. Bella adds:
“Someone should apply to join CommAgency because of the experience you will gain. It becomes a great talking point in interviews for future jobs and/or internships. CA is also a really unique opportunity that students of the Bellisario College should take advantage of, because there are very few people who can say that they have worked with real clients while representing the best of their college/while in college.”
