Internship: Week 11

O my goodness.  I apologize profusely for not updating at all this month.  Between finals and papers and ash clouds, life has been crazy hectic.  But all that that really means is that I will have some very interesting posts to come.  Trust me you will be updated on all that went on in my last few weeks in London.  So now I will take you back to the last week in April.

I missed my alarm on Monday and woke up by chance extremely late.  That made for an interesting start to the week.  Luckily I pulled myself together in that little time.  Patrick was gone Monday so I went about preparing articles for twitter.  We had gained 20 the week before and that was the highest growth in one week that we have had since I arrived.  Although Partick was gone, I was given the assignment to write a Press Release to be reviewed in the morning.  It took most of the day.  I also read the latest packaging news magazine.  I ended the day with the results from the Purina search for a company to design their cat food package.  I listened in on the call between Purina and Suni.  Unfortunately tdg did not get the account but they were shortlisted and received some very good feedback.

On Tuesday morning, I felt less rushed but I also had to look a little bit nicer because some executives from the Newcastle office were stopping by to talk to Patrick about the direction of the company.  Thrishira was there and it was the first time in quite sometime that the office was full.  The meeting between the executives was shorter than expected and we all went to lunch next door at the Clerkenwell Kitchen.  That’s when we realized that I only had three days left.  We talked about what I could expect when I got home and Patrick shared some of his gossip websites with me.  I finished the day by editing the most recent thought piece for a German publisher ad reading some weekly publications.  It was not a bad start to the week.


The rest of the week was pretty normal.  In Advertising we talked about product placement and watch the new James Bond Movie, Casino Royal, to look for placements.    This week was our last in week out in a museum for art class.  I don't remember much from that week.  This is why I should have blogged right away.  What I do remember is that we went to Brighton on Friday, and that trip was so awesome that it deserves its own post.  That will be next.


Pip Pip Cheerio!
