Plan, Stress, Execute, Relax!


Cannings Purple has been working with the international agribusiness; Bunge who is involved in the wheat market, dedicated to grains trading and has been successful in combining with a network of key players in the domestic grain supply chain to facilitate exports to global customers.

Bunge left the important planning, deciding and executing for the official opening of its new grain export terminal in Bunbury and cocktail party in the hands of Cannings Purple.

I was asked to help source custom wine bags, blue carpet for a ‘red carpet affect’ and numerous other small tasks for both the launch and cocktail party.

The day finally arrived and all I can say was that it was a long day, I was up at 6:30, driving down to Bunbury and when arrived it was all systems go. I was given an information pack, which included:
           
-Contact details
            -Event checklist
            -Running time sheet
            -A mud map  

Threw out the day I was helping set up the launch event, shadowing the photographer and gathering names of those in each photo as well as ushering people attending the event onto the bus and providing them with valuable information.


Once the launch event was about to finish myself, Sophie and Danika raced over to the Bunbury BREC Centre where the cocktail party was to be held in 1.5 hours and started preparing the venue for the night ahead. The 1.5 hours we had felt like 10 minutes because soon enough it was 4:40pm and we were racing to our hotel to quickly get changed and we were back for 5:00pm for the cocktail party to start.

It truly was an amazing day and night and made me realize how much blood, sweat and tears go into an event like this. However you feel a sense of happiness and relief when the event all comes together and more importantly the client is extremely happy, that’s when you know you have done your job and now can relax! 

Being able to be apart of this event has allowed me to expand my experience in this work field. I was able to apply knowledge from the unit PR Techniques in relation to organising an event, event checklist and a running time sheet. 

I am excited what else the rest of my days at Cannings Purple have to offer me!
