Hi everyone!
Sorry I haven’t blogged in a
little while, I’ve been ridiculously busy with university and my new job. I’m
taking a quick coffee break from studying at the moment now, so I just thought
I’d quickly update you all on what I’ve been up to.
In between graduating, endless
hand-ins and my birthday, I’ve landed a new job as Senior Marketing Consultant
at Fitness Focus magazine. I can finally say I’m doing a job that I enjoy and
that I no longer have to suffer the tedium of telesales!
It’s definitely a job where I
work with, and not for, everybody in
the office and I’m able to put all my skills to good use. I do a bit of
everything, but mostly I’m the person responsible for getting health and
fitness instructors and clubs into the magazine. I’m itching to get involved with
some of the design and editorial work too.
I’m also solely responsible
for the publication’s social media, which I love. The magazine’s website is
currently in production, but I’ve just set up a Twitter account to increase the
awareness and reputation of Fitness Focus. I’m making the point of individually
thanking each new follower and making sure I reply to every single tweet we
get. It has been quite time-consuming but I do think that it’s really going to
help in building relationships with stakeholders. I’m going to post plenty of
photos too, document the making of the magazine and also set up a Facebook page
very soon.
The magazine is officially launching
in the New Year, and I’ve been given the task of creating the launch party, so
this is an excellent opportunity to put what I’ve learnt about PR planning in
practise. I’ve never put together an event before, so I’m quite nervous about
it, but also really eager to show the office what I can do. If it goes well,
which I will make sure it will, there will be lots more opportunities like
this, which I’m hoping will boost my PR profile and credibility.
I’m excited to see what
opportunities this job may bring, and want to contribute to the magazine’s
success as much as I possibly can. Everything is going well at the moment, and
even though I’m up to my eyes in coursework, I’m really enjoying life.
Oh, and make sure you follow Fitness Focus on Twitter!
Thanks x
