We did it!
The media event happened today and was, in my opinion, a success. I walked around with one of the groups and, while it took some time and effort to get them to warm up and be friendly, it seemed like overall they enjoyed the activities, found it a fun atmosphere and positively responded throughout the day. I took photos throughout the day of the different activities, speakers and graduation ceremony, helped Lee print out all the graduation certificates and gave the main reception the schedule of the event in the morning along with all the rooms and mine and Chloe's phone numbers in case people from the media did show up - which they did, as we got a reporter/photographer from the Bath Chronicle!
All photos that I took on the day can be seen here, apart from the ones I took of the Big Draw and film sequence activity since those were taken using other people's cameras.

Last week mayhem!
This has been the last week leading up to the media event, and it's definitely been busy!
Our team was in charge of contacting all media, which we have done, trying to get media coverage, getting the information packs and goody bags together, plus designing all signs, badges, invitations and posters.
For the information packs, I found and bought a pack of 25 basic folders made of recycled brown card. While at first we were thinking it would be good to have colourful ones, we thought that the appearance would go well with the university's environmentally friendly theme. I also bought a pack of 25 A4 labels to put on the front of the packs to maintain brand identity and make them look better. I asked Lee to design the front cover of the information packs, which is below:

Media coverage and last week to do list
I got a reply from my contact at the Bath Chronicle, Graham Holburn, who said he would forward the email and press release on to news editor Paul Wiltshire. As the rest of the contacting people on the marketing team were calling the different sources of media, I asked Ed to call his contact at the Bath Chronicle from the behind the scenes documentary they did on it and confirm if they were coming or not. He did call, but they were busy with publishing that week's issue and asked him to call back on the day they decide on what news stories will be in the next week's issue - which is Thursday, the day before the event! Let's hope.
I made what's hopefully the marketing team's last to-do list ever (!!) for the last week leading up to the event, seen below:
Exciting....one week left!
