4th Week

We unfortunately didn't get the project that we pitched for.

We were allocated the LookOut! PR project which I am sure we will enjoy participating in. LookOut! is a media company that carries out numerous different types of research for business. Together as a group will have to come up with a PR strategy for the company.

I am looking forward to developing new skills as well as experience a real life marketing project. Hopefully by the end of the project I will understand more clearly what aspects of marketing I enjoy and how I work best.

3rd Week

The 3rd week was the week we delivered our pitches for the project that we wanted. My group pitched for the I-Com project. Our group didn't end up practicing our pitch and perhaps we could of delivered better if we practiced more. There was numerous groups that pitched for the same idea so there is lots of competition in who gets allocated the project.

Personally pitching and presenting is one of my weakest areas and I hope to develop this skill throughout my time at University. Hopefully there will be plenty of opportunities for me to practice and work on this skill.

 

2nd Week

After forming our group, the team then had to choose and create a pitch for the project that we wanted. We first wanted to pitch for the Wireless project but later in the week we decided to pitch for the I-Com project. We though that this project would fit our skills and experiences better.

We found it difficult to find the time that we was all free to prepare and rehearse. Therefore, we came up with the solution to assign different areas of the pitch individually.

Also during the tutorial we discovered and identified what makes a group preform well together. We also discussed theory practices such as Tuckman and Klatzenbach & Smith.

1st Week

The first week was all about motivation and how every individual is motivated in a different way. However, being self-motivated is a key aspect that employers want from their employees. 

Also today we got ourselves into groups, I am in a team with Emily, Mia, Zoe and Ella. In our teams we are going to work on a project using our marketing skills. Next week we will pitch for the project that we want. 


The Belbin Test

After class we was asked to carry out our own Belbin Test. The results showed that I am most suited to the executive role as well as the driver and chairmen. I believe these results match my personality well as I like to get tasks done efficiently but in a enthusiastic way while bringing the time together.
