Week 3

Monday 29 April
Today is my birthday and although I was working I still had a lovely day. My first task was a bit boring as I had to clear out the boxes of their promotional packs and put them back in the right places. Their promotional packs are boxes full of postcards with pictures and some blurb on to convey the types of event that have been done in the past. These are given to clients and when they go to meetings to portray the events they have previously done to give future clients an idea of events they hold.

After this I then had to edit the powerpoint for NABS on their logos again as some slight changes had been made. This was a powerpoint of all the logos that represented the companies attending this event. This allowed me to keep up to date with the latest companies coming and kept me in the loop of who was the most important, and enabled me to know a little more about the event.


Here is a photo of one of the slides from the powerpoint, this was the magazine section and gives you an idea of who was attending the NABS event.

Tuesday 30 April
Today I created the prize slips for the massive balloon wall that was going to be in the entrance for the NABS events. This meant writing up all the different prizes on a word document and putting them in a grid with writing on the back so it all had to fit into the right boxes. This took a while because printing on double sided paper meant that you had to have the words in exact place for it to work and it wasn't in line with the opposite page which made this task more difficult.
There were some great prizes on offer such as a Diamond and Pearl Necklace and Wireless Tickets as well as some nice ICE watches.

Here is an example of the slips of paper I then had to cut out and put in the right section.


Wednesday 1st May
Today I was asked to go through the rich list 2013 and look for possible clients that might be interested at looking into throwing events organised by GSP. This was rather interesting as I got to read about a lot of new companies and know more about companies I already knew. This was a rather challenging task as a lot of wealthy people like to keep their information private, so took me longer then I though to find some information. It was quite successful as I managed to gain a few people information but not many. 

This ended up taking up the whole day as it was tougher then I thought to find out some information I wanted so this was the only task I did today.

Thursday 2nd May
Today I got asked to help with finding some venues for a new event they had just been asked to do for a birthday in Milan. This was very interesting as I have never been to Milan and is a place I'd love to visit so I was intrigued to look into some venues. 
I found some amazing ones such as the Dolce and Gabbana resturant called 'Gold'. This was a venue that has held events for celebrities such as Bruno Mars, Justin Beiber and Kylie. 


Friday 3rd May
Today I carried on with searching for venues for the event in Milan, this was rather challenging as the customers wanting this event wanted this restaurant for the entire weekend which meant losing out on other sales that weekend, and it was the same weekend as the Grand Prix so would be busy. However we were able to come up with some amazing restaurants for their clients which was great!

Next I then helped look for venues for a bar mitzvah that was 'Prom' themed it had to be appropriate for a prom and be allowed to dress the venue. This was hard as a lot of venues weren't happy for us to come in and change the venue around unless it was an empty hall or we paid a lot extra which was in our budget.
