Public Relations = Performance Recognition

Hello everyone, I am Priya, 21 years, 3rd year BA Mass Communication student, Charles Telfair Institute.  I am actually conducting my internship in a  Multimedia Agency, MATAORA. They focus mainly on Web, Design & Net Buzzing (this is what i do). They do not have a real proper PR department, so i am getting the opportunity to act as a PR person for the agency, which is really amazing!!  

It's only my first week at work and i have been involved in quite some..., actually a lot of activities. Ive been net buzzing especially on social media, mostly professional social networking websites (like Digg, LinkedIn etcc...). Also written some online press release and articles, those have been published online since we work mainly with international (French) companies.

Now you guys might be wondering why my title is : Public Relations = Performance Recognition. this is actually quoted from Douglas Smith, later taken by my Boss. Actually in few weeks time, MATAORA will be launching its first Facebook Game (1st in Mauritius) and the agency is very busy since last week and since Friday we have been working real hard to have maximum of publicity over this the Beta Test for the game (its kind of a pre0test with professional poker players to see if its worth or nt). Since Friday, I've been doing  a lot of work around  and today during the meeting for the last week feedback, mt boss was so satisfied with team along with a special note for me!! he said , i quote " You are worth performance recognition, congratulation" and I was so happy that in my 1st week  @ work, Ive been congratulated by the Chef. :) i really had to share this!!

i just hope that everyone is really enjoying their internship, like i do. It hard for sure, for everyone to get the balance between courses and work, but its not only for the sake of  writing the report. Internship should also be fun and entertaining, enriching and inspiring.

In a few week time, the launching will be here and i know its going to be very busy around but i'm sure im gonna make through. I won't be giving too much information about this new game by MATAORA Games for now, that would come soon in the next post. for the time being, busy in buzzing the game beta test, and if you guys are poker player and know much about poker strategy, i guess this is your chance, go on the fan page of MATAORA Facebook and enroll for the beta test. (Sorry some publicity is gud, i could not resist :)

As from Wednesday (after the beta test) , the team will start the planning for the launching, so if anyone can suggest a launching party idea, venue etcc.. I'm open to anything!! Remember, its a facebook game launching party!!

Wishing you  all the best!!
