Just plugging away

Monday, June 22
For the first hour and twenty minutes of the morning, we had our weekly internal staff meeting. We went over each client. Out of the five page weekly report, I got two things assigned to me. After the meeting, I sent out a new appointment release for client 6 to Indianapolis and Chicago business publications. I was suppose to send out another new appointment release, but I'm still waiting on the headshot that I need to send with it. When sending out the one new appointment news release, I realized that the emails for all the publications were all over the place in the shared files. So I created a basic reference sheet for quick use when you sending out mass releases and then another more detailed list for individual contact. I also made a specific folder in the company's shared files just for media contact information. Hopefully that makes things easier.

For the rest of the day I worked on putting an advertising value report together for client 8 and looked up skateboard shops that would possibly partner with our new client (client 9).

Still could not send out the other new appointment release because our client still hasn't sent us the headshot. Instead, I worked more on the advertising value report. The problem is we don't have all the clippings. I don't know the column inches for all the articles and have no references on how much advertising cost for any of the mediums we had articles/broadcasts placed in.

Then I did some searching online for European/UK security trade publications. I found two... basic search engines just don't do the trick when your looking internationally. Afterwards, I started printing off documents to update my client folders, but I think I was annoying the associate, so I put that on hold for another day. Now I'm blogging and counting down until I leave.
