THE INTERN DIARY: productive day

I’ve been meaning to blog about a few topics but just can’t seem to find the time. I’m hoping to post them this weekend.

My day was pretty interesting and productive. My boss treated everyone to lunch today so we all sat in the boardroom, eating, talking and laughing.

As I am now on my second blogger outreach campaign, I finalized my media list and started pitching. We have a specific number of products to ship out to the bloggers so this will be a bit time consuming. I don’t want to pitch to everyone on the list and end up getting responses from all and have to turn people away so I will have to pitch a few people at a time. So far I have three people on board which is great as they all responded within an hour of receiving the pitch. I realized I actually love pitching. Creating the pitch to cater to your target, personalizing each one and then getting an email from the target, thrilled to hop on board with the campaign is kind of exciting.

I have one week left of my internship and I think I might speak to my boss so I can continue interning, except only part-time. With quite a few people leaving to go on client business trips or on vacation, I want to finish up everything I’ve started. I would really like to see the results of the campaign I’m working on. The senior account manager that I report to will also be swamped as she has to manage two other accounts while one account manager is on vacation for almost three weeks. I’ve just started applying to jobs (horribly late, I know) so I really won’t expect to hear from anyone calling for an interview for a little while so I might as well keep myself busy

Tomorrow is going to be extremely busy for me as I continue pitching and begin a holiday news release, about three other writing tasks and a few other things.

I should probably get some sleep as I am beyond exhausted and have a long day tomorrow.

Toodles!
