Tomorrow is going to be my 8th day at Variety WA. It's scary
to see how fast six weeks has gone, but looking back i have accomplished so
much in such a short amount of time.
My internship journey started 10 weeks ago when i started
researching PR agencies in Perth. To start off i contacted: PPR Perth, Soapbox
PR, 3AM Thoughts, Muse Bureau, Magenta Boutique Creative Agency, and Clarity
Communication. Everyone i spoke to gave me the same reply "..email me your
resume and we will see what we can do" or "..sorry we don't take on
interns". I came to a dead end with no one calling me back or replying to
my emails so i decided to call up Charity's around Perth! After calling several
i finally got a call back from Variety WA saying they were desperate for some
help and asked me to come in ASAP to meet up and introduce myself and I ended
up starting that week! They asked me to come in every Tuesday and Wednesday.
On my first day i was told i will be working on one of
Variety's annual events- The Santa Fun Run! So far for the event i have done a
3 page document outlining target audiences,
3 media releases, a detailed list of all the schools within a 20km
radius of the Fun Run, an email seeking sponsorship and played around with
Photoshop to create a poster with past pictures to put in newsletter's. Even
though i was given the Santa Fun Run as my project while being at Variety i
have also created posters for the
ambassador children, who are sick or disabled children that Variety has helped
and i have helped research and plan a casino event that may be held at Lama bar
in Subiaco.
The best thing about doing my internship at Variety is how
Katie (Marketing manager) goes through all my work at the end of the day and we
discuss what I've done. So far all my work has been used for upcoming events or marketing purposes!
