A unique experience and opportunity in the marketing mix

The golden opportunity to work on a client communication strategy during the placement internship stay was unique experience and allow me to view new avenues for Public Relations Tactics. The idea never really come to mind since in Mauritius Virtual Reality is still a rare thing and using it as a Tactics within a communication strategy is something that can be viewed as Revolutionary. On a Public Relations perspective a tactic using Virtual reality to promote the service or to give the client a first-hand simulated experience is an excellent way to communicate about your product or key message. This was one of the communication tactics that may be put in place after my Internship ends in a client overall strategy

Another part of communication strategy was the social media communication development plan. The need to design and pre-planned events with an overall explanation of its working was a bliss when you realise the unique opportunity to make qualitative and quantitative research to enhance your strategies. 




From content marketing post, photo contest, game design creation making use of events or make used of people passion to promote the client image, the difference in margin from the learning of the university and the job is thin but this time the importance of precision and details have a higher impact. This was part of a 3 phase plan of the client communication strategy that will be run over the course of 12 months if the client approves the pitch.

The Research and development part of the communication strategy was very interesting either on the road safety campaign or the airline company campaign. Both in terms of qualitative and quantitative research or in research of thematic for the campaigns. Some of the themes that was research upon were Vision, Visibility and safety on the road, use of seat belts and child restraint and effects of road crashes. This is where research emphasis were made on high rate campaigns by reviews their evaluation reports, view their key messages to be input in the local context and give ideas to designers for various themes that are to be implemented.
