Greetings one and all.
Well. Things are coming together...'Tokyo in the Sky' is coming along nicely.
I've scoped out the best ticketing options. Lots of emails here and there, corresponding with ticketing companies to try and get the best deal. I drew up a pro's and cons chart, but still have to make the final decision. Still waiting on ticketing companies to get back to me.
I have to attend lots of meetings scheduled for this Friday.- One with The C Restaurant, Audiovisual company and Eating WA. It will be interesting to sit there and see how things come together from nothing- to see how event managers build business elsewhere to create an event.
I got to work on a media release today... Can't say I'm too fond of them yet- I hope I like them better as time goes by- I just can't formulate the right words, and get to the point. Takes me ages to nail a sentence and even then I feel like I could spend another hour on it.
I put together a marketing plan- This included situation analysis, SWOT, Target Market demographics. Tamara was impressed with it, which was encouraging. It's nice to know your efforts make a difference, and your doing the right thing. Alot of the time I find myself thinking 'I bet you've done it wrong' ha ha turns out I'm doing okay.
It's good to know the money we have paid to go to uni really IS an investment- it's easy to think as a student 'will i really use this in the real world- Am I wasting my time!' But it goes to show, especially in Sarah's case with St John of God Ambulance- That we actually apply what we have learned to real life situations. ...That would have been a very intense day and the importance of crisis communication would have made a lot more sense.
Blog writing is actually quiet rewarding- to get a glimpse of how others feel about their placement. It's good to know I'm not the only one to lack confidence- But i guess that comes with learning and time. If you continually do something, you find a way to be the better at it.
Well I hope you all enjoy the rest of the week!
Bye for now
Angie.

Hi Angie,
Sounds like you are really busy and that events is something that really interest and suits you! How did you find the marketing plan that your supervisor gave you? Did anything cross over from a PR Plan or are they completely separate.Thats what I have found throughout my placement there is a very very thin line between marketing and public relations. I have also found that it is extremely important that both of these departments work closely together especially in areas that represent a companies corporate identity. I hope that the rest of the placement goes great for you!!! It seems like you are doing some great networking!
:) Holly
