Hi all
Week three of my placement and half way through. I can't help thinking that I should really start my report! I have began writing little notes to myself and will hopefully get started very soon.
This week has been a quiet one for me. Not many new tasks but I am constantly working on continuous tasks. I like the fact that I am in charge of a whole new concept here at Alzheimer's WA. I believe I mentioned it before, the Dementia Champions. I have completed my Marketing plan, which my supervisor was very happy with (after I tweaked it a little) and they will be implementing my plan over the year. I am very satisfied with my placement, as a simple idea creates so many new options/avenues for Alzheimer's Australia WA and I'm only half way through.
I am currently doing a media release for a new Bunbury office. Classes have taught me that I need an eye catching headline and opening paragraph, which I am having a little trouble with. It's not too easy writing a very exciting headline for a new office opening. I think I have finally come up with something that will hopefully catch the eyes of the journalists who receive it. It may sound silly, but I am really excited to see something I have written turned into an article. I am not from a Journalism background and defiantly prefer my Marketing background (to my PR), but the media release aspect of PR kind of excites me!
I am really glad I have experienced working in the Fundraising and Public Affairs department of Alzheimer's Australia WA. I am also working in a Local Marketing job and even though I never really understood the difference of PR and Marketing, I can really notice it now that I am working in both fields.
Overall all is going well and hopefully I can kick start my report writing before Uni takes over my life at the start of semester!

Hi!! Deanna.
The more work i do at my placement, i have even forgot that i should write a report, thanks for talking about the report, i was going to remember when finishing my internship. anyway congrats for having something to write, the Marketing plan, that is something big which you can use in your report and your portfolio.
In regard to the media release, am from the journalism background and i know some journalists who can use your lead paragraph as an excuse for not publishing your media release, they would just say the lead para was silly, we thought it was not serious. anyway i hope they will publish it.
wishing you all the best in your placement.
