One of the first days of working on the PPE I was
given a load of information to do, Kasia Mcnaught, the Project Manager, was
jetting off to New York for Fashion Week and so we had to cram everything I
needed in one phone call. Lucky there was always Facebook, email, and Barbara
to communicate with when I had a million questions.
Due to this being the first Perth Pet Expo we need a
lot of sponsors and exhibitors. One of my main roles is to communicate with potential
exhibitors and sponsors and basically send them our media kit and explain the
benefits of coming to this expo and the opportunities it posses for their business
with exposure, there’s a lot of phone calls and emails and questions and as
much as I HATE talking on the phone (I’m a Millennial), It’s a part of the job
and I’m dealing with it.
Another fun little part of being the PR intern is
updating the social media, everyone loves pet videos and photos so posting
funny and cute things to bring more awareness and likes to our expo is always
an easy perk of the job.
It’s a slow process but at the moment it’s starting to
really pick up and with the expo now partnering with The West Australian, the
‘momentum’ will only start to build and the event is going to be amazing.

Hi Kieran.
How are you finding your experience with social media?
I have recently started doing social media for a company and finding it enjoyable also. I think pet related content would be really fun to do as they are so popular online! When is the event? What else will you be doing in the line up?
I also find talking on the phone daunting, but I guess it gets better with experience I still find myself getting scared every time I have to ring up!
Do you find a good sense of satisfaction afterwards? I also feel extra confidence!
Hey Lucy,
I am loving the social media aspect of it, being an avid social media user and applying it to the internship is very effortless, I just have to remember the audience. The event is in December 6th and 7th, the aim is to raise awareness and educate the public on responsible pet ownership and showcase new products and of course it is gonna be a massive family outing.
Yeah every time I make a phone call I get more confident, like each one is less daunting than the other and the better the phone call the better i get at it!.
