21st week

Its coming to an end of the big agency and I have enjoyed some parts more than others. At the beginning of the the project I didn’t know what I would get out of it but this project has helped me out in getting interviews for placements. Recently I’ve been offered an interview for digital marketing in Bolton, it’s an exciting opportunity however I’m torn between studying in Spain or a one year placement. I know what you might think- a year placement off course! Although for this placement I would practically be my own marketing manager as I would be the only marketing person for this company (Emeli education). If I were to do a placement I would like to learn from it and I feel that this would be a big challenge to take on board. Specially after going to an assessment centre for brand marketing (Spectrum brands) just before I got an offer for the other placement. I found brand marketing interesting and more fun compared to digital marketing,

The assessment day consisted of doing fun activities such as making smoothies from one of their products such as the ninja blender and pitching one of their products on how we’d market the product along with thinking about the packaging/budget. However, I’ve not heard from this placement back yet.

I was enthralled to find 2 groups were presenting their video today. They were both fantastic which made me doubt on whether we should have done ours as a power point instead. It had already taken us a while and a lot of effort so we decided to keep it. I asked Mark if we should include the posters we made in the video in response to yes if it adds on to the festival. We also had made 2 customer personas, but our video was already 15 seconds over.
