Thrown in the PR deep end.


Upon  my first 10 days interning at the newly established Aaron McPolin creative studio,  I have possibly undertaken every student project we were ever assessed on in the PR Techniques unit - but this time... its real life.  I shook the nerves and completed the following tasks urgently and hopefully impressively.  (real life)

Tasks;
I have written a media release for the studios official opening night and submitted it to publications.
I actively followed up my media release submissions with a phone call and managed to get a story published in the Western Suburbs Weekly.
I have written a vision and mission for the photography studio.

I have started a public relations plan with the communications manager, which required us to liaise with  all artists and team specialists who occupy the space and gather a collection of goals and objectives.
I have started a new Facebook page and have been given admin control to disperse exciting company information to fans and potential clients.
I also was heavily involved with organising the opening night and overlooked guest RSVPs leading up to, and on the night of the event.

 


Aaron in Action. Art Meets Fashion Night.
I definitely feel I have already been given an important role within the establishment. I have approached each task with great interest and in return my supervisor has given me a lot of creative input, therefore I feel very welcome.  I learned in PR Consultancy that ideas and creativity go hand in hand. I would also like to add passion fuels creative ideas too (of course!). I'm really passionate about the fashion industry and here at the studio I work closely with the resident fashion photographer, Aaron, and the in house stylists.  I find myself really interested in using my creative initiate to help the team.
Im very blessed to be working with a passionate team who collaborate everyday on bettering their mission.  A bunch of cool kids really who share the same passion. It looks like its going to be a fun and beneficial month ahead.
