Meetings

Yesterday, 6/09/2009
I built three media lists and then transferred them into a spreadsheet. The media lists were: Arizona business and finance publications, health care publications, and Chicago retail publications. Then I did some research on commercial tenant representation because we are trying to send out a positioning release about our client, but they are not giving us any new information. Their website, as along with their competitors, is very vague in the description of what they do. Every time we re-work the positioning release they say they do not like it because it is not very detailed, yet they will not give us any new information to put in the release. Ugh!!!! This is a challenge.

I meet with an advertising rep for a magazine called Security Products. We discussed possible advertisements and articles that could be placed in their up-coming issues. I had a nice debate with the rep about whether he thinks newspapers will completely die out or not. We also discussed advertising online. It was intriguing. But stupid me did not give him my business card, which would have been the smart thing to do. Oh well.

The meeting ran late and I was 30 minutes late meeting my friend downtown for dinner....

Today, 6/10/2009
This morning I wrote up the meeting notes from yesterday afternoon. I then e-mailed them to my boss and her associate. Apparently my boss was telling her associate yesterday that she was impressed with how professional I was with the advertising rep and how I interacted well with him. Kudos for me!

Then I booked a flight for my boss. She is going to a conference for one of our clients in Baltimore. After that, I research tenant representation some more and put together a research findings sheet. I didn't find much new information, but hopefully it will help. Following that, I made a list of publications for Arizona, Chicago business, and finance publications that will go in a document for a client.

And now, I'm blogging and watching the time melt away slowly. Sometimes being an intern is a bit boring.
