This week was a week of uploading
blog posts I wrote that had been approved as well as writing more blogs and
focusing on 32dsg’s website content.
I usually upload Facebook
posts about upcoming events, working off my events calendar, however this week
their Facebook page was devoted to a competition we were offering for two
tickets to Perth Fashion week. I think I have mentioned before in one of my
previous posts that I have been made an administrator of one of their clients
Facebook pages. Not realising I was on the client’s Facebook page (thinking I
was on mine), I ‘shared’ the competition on their page. This has NOTHING to do
with them or their target audience and therefore was a big mistake. Luckily one
of the girls alerted it to me and I was quickly able to take it down. It just
outlined the fact that social media while it is easy to use, free and global,
it can be extremely dangerous. Luckily this was not such a massive blunder and
was easily fixable but you can see how quickly something can turn into a crisis
if it is not handled correctly. I may be able to ‘blame’ it on Facebook since
it said I was on my own page when I ‘shared’ the post (not realising I had to
click another button to say- switch to your personal page), however this would
never stand if you were to argue your case in a crisis. Technology may fail
you, but ultimately it is your fault in the end. You controlled the mouse and
you pressed enter.
After that mistake was quickly
rectified I continued with my work. I uploaded my Sharing Healthy
Conversations article- choosing the best photo for the subject (one
with the most important attendees included). I had to fix the lighting on the
photo first and crop it so that all the focus was on the people in it. I had to
link all the important peoples names to their personal pages (usually linked in
accounts) and make sure everyone’s names were spelt correctly.
I continued to work on companies that
are similar to 32dsg and an events list
for their Facebook posts. After looking over what needs to be included in the
report I was quite pleased to see that we need to write about our companies
competitors. Because I have been looking at what other companies there are
similar to 32dsg I have in fact been researching their competitors. I have also
been looking at what they are doing differently and how we could incorporate
some of these positive attributes into our company as well. By collating all
this information 32dsg can take the best of their competitors traits and add
them to their list of expertise.
It has been interesting for me to
look back at the events the company or the people who work for the company have
been involved in organising. From the Breast Cancer Foundation’s
illumination campaign to the Grand Prix ball, the people working at
32dsg have a diverse range of skills and networks. It’s a privilege to be
around such successful worldly people. The collation of events data that I have
been looking at, I will be putting into succinct descriptions to put on their
website under the events section. This is quite an important job (in my
opinion) since ‘case studies’ or previous experiences are important for those
wanting to use the company to see.
My blog post on the Perth Baby Expo got approved at 4:45pm but
I wanted to stay until it was up online, linked and positioned well. I stayed
on after everyone left however I like things to be done and to be done without
rushing. I don’t think I will ever mind staying behind to finish up and do a
good job. Once you’re at work, what’s another 40 minutes? I also got to write
another post for a Frasers
Restaurant lunch that the 32dsg team went to this week. It got
approved right away (showing how much better I must be getting with my writing
skills) and I put that one up too.
