Almost there and it feels like I've just begun

So I'm three weeks into my placement it feels like the learning has just begun!
I'm so busy all the time that it feels like my head is about to explode sometimes.

I was given a bit of a reality check yesterday when I was promptly reminded by one of the stakeholders that one of the trade shows I had been planning was only a month away! STRESSSS!
I'm not usually one to let things get away from me but this one did in amongst all of the other work I've been doing like copy write and media releases.

Needless to say I have spend the morning going through all of the forms and planning of what needs to be still done for the event.

I have also been handed another event by my supervisor, as the company is going through an App development at the moment, I have been given the task of planning the App launch for later next month. I'm loving the events planning that's been handed my way all the time as this is the area of PR that I love the most.

Another thing I have been doing this week is assisting with the edit of copy for the new website. Working closely with the Marketing team, a new product launch is been set in place and my job has been to write the copy for the website and assist in working with stakeholders on achieving what they want to be the desired image of the product to the industry.

As Imdex recently bought another company as part of an acquisition I have also been assisting with the communication to other stakeholders, shareholders and industry that this company is now part of the Imdex family.
This task is a lot more extensive than I thought! It involves not only communication the news with shareholders, employees and industry but also other organization such as the Tax Office and Financial institutions. Nevertheless I have been enjoying learning how to word letters and documents differently depending on who they are going to.

I am looking forward to my last week of placement and everything it has to offer and look forward to working closely with the PR team in the future.
