‘We are a team here, not a hierarchy!’

Hi everyone,

Hope that your internship is going fine.

My Internship provides really good work experience opportunities for me. As the previous week I was able to apply my knowledge on the different issues that arouse everyday. Several tasks were set for me to complete, thus encouraging me to overcome all the problems that turn out. As the days passed, I developed a strong desire to learn more about the PR field as the environment that I work is so challenging and demanding.

Since my arrival at Publico Creative, everyone did their best to ensure that I get the best possible work experience in public relation/communication and create unforgettable memories for me. My second week was full of challenges as I learned to set up a complete media plan for a huge event. It was not easy everyday as I had to work at the same pace like the other employees but they helped me a lot in achieving my targets and monitor me when needed.

My General Manager called Cora Korimbocus told me that in the organization, the interns were partially left on their own the first week to let them build up themselves within the organization values as it is important for new comers to understand the way Publico Creative works.Now after one week, I acquire the organizational culture and understood well my role in the organization. Now I can say that being there made me have more passion for PR and help me to work as hard as they do which results to being committed to a high level of client service.

Every day is a new day full of tasks at Publico and it helps me to build up a strong personality which increased my organizational skills and professionalism in my work. It raises my ability to do several tasks at the same time and to work in a team spirit as stated by the GM “we’re a team here not a hierarchy”

As I told in the previous paragraph, I worked on media plan each day. Publico ltd is set up of two organisations (department) which are Publico Creative (marketing and communication) and Universal Media (public relation and booking). So, when my duties were fixed up at Publico creative for the internal communication and direct contact with customers, I was sent to Universal Media in the media department to be able to manage with the press. It is for me a good experience to see how these organisational culture work out together as their approach to the everyday issues are different.

Kind regards
