Worked on a pitch for a prospective client. I probably re-did and edited the PowerPoint for the presentation a million times. It's crazy to think I was in the office from 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM and all I worked on was a PowerPoint. Well, I went to the bank, CVS, and Starbucks for my boss, but that is really it.

I got to come into work 2 hours later than usual. It was nice to get extra sleep. As soon as I walked in the office we had a conference call from client 6. We talked about an event we are planning for them and about vertical markets that we could reach about their products and services. Apparently the pitch went well, or so my boss thinks. The embedded video worked on the PowerPoint, which makes me happy because it was tricky to place in the presentation. Unfortunately, the people we pitched to did not have an audio system. My boss was creative though. While the video was playing of our television clips, she spoke about how she pitched them, how they got the story run, and how often they get certain segments. Keeping our fingers crossed to get this client. Then after that, for client 7, I created a vertical marketing kit binder. I already had the information to put in the binder because it was provided by the client. All I did was buy a binder/separators from Walgreens, label, 3-hole punch, and assemble. That was my day, though it doesn't seem like a lot, but it kept me busy the whole day.

Today, I got into the office at the regular time. Both of the internship interviewees cancelled their meetings, so that freed up the morning. I put together a Chicago fashion magazine contact media list and after revision from the boss's associate, I'm now adding more contacts. My boss is going to take me and her associate out for lunch for the long hours we pulled for the pitch. I love free meals!
