A Taste of the Events Industry

My first few weeks at Magenta have been an amazing experience.

I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to assist with a launch event for one of Magenta’s clients, London based store Matches Fashion. Myself and two other interns were responsible for dressing the models for the fashion parade that was to be featured at the event.


I have done a small amount of event assistance work before but I have never had anything to do with backstage dressing, so I was a bit nervous that I wouldn’t be quick enough to get the models ready in time.

I never thought that I wanted to work in the events side of the PR industry (I have previously completed an events management unit, but I didn’t enjoy it all that much and came to the conclusion that events weren’t really for me), but after this experience I have definitely changed my mind. Although they can be stressful, I think that being able to pull together a successful event is a huge achievement and I could tell that the girls at Magenta were really proud that their hard work had paid off.

This experience has made me even more excited for what’s to come both at my internship with Magenta as well as in my future career!
