So, this is the last week of my placement . Looking back on it now, the past eight weeks have flown by! I have learned a lot of great stuff and built up my portfolio which I know will help me in my career in the field of Public Relations and Corporate Communications.
My biggest accomplishment – taking the lead on the intranet and internal e-newsletter. I basically created new templates from scratch using a “common look and feel” (once again branding is important!). I worked with correspondents for their contributions. I also wrote some of the content myself. Although, I didn’t get to see the newsletter launch, I hope I left behind is a valuable bank of stories, contacts and designs that will help my fellow communicators to launch the intranet redesign and e-newsletter when the time comes.
Overall, my look into government communications has offered me an opportunity to expand my love for online communications and web design. While I’m not an expert in html I am fully dedicated to creating an online presence, a coherent brand image. Soon I will be working on another website for a client and I can’t wait to learn even more.
