6th Week

After a week off, this weeks tutorial was all about brainstorming ideas and creating a plan for our project.

Our project plan has little information at the moment but this should change when the project gets moving. We created lists that we believed needs to be carried out in order to get the best ideas going for the project.

I think we are going to have to carry out a lot of research in order to start an effective PR campaign. Any information or draft ideas that we have will put into DropBox so that we all can see it but also Nick as he wants to be involved.

We also had another meeting with Nick, after hearing from other groups how difficult it is for them to get in touch with their clients. I am glad Nick is so involved and is really available to get into contact with. The meeting also included the social media team where our group gave an overview of lookout! But also what Nick wants from us as a team. It seems as though Nick wants both the PR and Social Media team to work together. However, I do think having such a big group might effective productivity and could slow down any progress. Also, there was still 2 members missing from the social media team which could suggest some communication problems in the future.

We left the meeting with Nick wanting a quick 10 minute meeting every Wednesday after our tutorial so any queries or no information can be passed on.

5th Week

During my 5th week, me and my group created questions for our client LookOut! We created questions that would help us have a clear understanding of the project and what it is the client wanted us to do.

The next day we had a meeting with Nick at the LookOut! office which is conveniently located next to the John Dalton building on the MMU campus. Nick was really engaging and showed his enthusiasm for the company and to the fact that we was on board for the PR project. In addition to seeming really grateful that we was taking part, which made me a lot less nervous and looking forward to working along side him.

We was due to have a meeting with the social media group as well, but the social media team didn't respond in time. So I believe another meeting will be arranged so that we will be all together. 

When I was first given the project I was quite confused and didn't really understand it was that the company actually did. But, I left the meeting with better knowledge of the company and also what they want us to carry out regarding the project.
