I’d like to talk about the future

So as part of my final blog I’d like to talk about the future.

From our internship I think we have learnt a lot, about ourselves, our industry and the general environments in which we will hopefully be working in every soon.

Your self- I know I’ve learnt what I want to do and what industry I want to specialise in. My internship taught me specialisations and industry focuses which were fields I wasn’t really suited for. Not because of incapability but rather personality and interest based preferences.

The Industry- The world of PR is fast moving, intense and all about networking. If you have good media relation skills as well as good people skills you can go anywhere but it is a dog eat dog world and you do need to take care on what you say, who you say it to and watch your back at times.

The Environment- My biggest learning curve is that a workplace needs to be positive and 

productive and those that work in it need to be passionate about what they are doing. I want to be in a position where I love me clients and sincerely believe what I’m doing is for the best, for the good of the people around me and not for commercial or momentary needs. Now I know money doesn’t grow on trees but keeping your integrity as a public relations practitioner means for a happy life overall even outside of work.

This leads me to some shameless advertising. This unit has pushed me further to my dreams of having my own business and creating that healthy life work environment while doing something I love. I studied public relations and film and I’m starting this business which I feel is a perfect mix of my learning at Curtin, experience and skills. 

Company: Run Riot Media

Target Industry: Creative Arts (Film’s, theatre shows, festivals, exhibitions, music or other creative outlets)  

Objective: To create digital content for client’s social media and online needs. 

This means taking photographs for Facebook or of the client’s event for their website. It means creating video opportunities for the client whether it’s about their day to day tasks or an advert or introducing a key figure of the organisation to their stakeholders. It means putting together electronic press kits for live shows, films or events or even organising launches and screenings. 

I’m still working on the web design at the moment (I would have loved to share some of my work!) but if you’re interested in collaborating with me in some projects/ events or just meeting up for coffee chats, email me at info@runriotmedia.com or remember the name and facebook me.

Thanks guys so much! Good luck to you all
