Polar Bear Nation

Way to go VisionCommunications! Not only have we created a page for Polar Bear Nation on Facebook, but we also have made it into the Toledo Blade and the Lima News promoting both Polar Bear Nation and Steve Amstrup. PBN is extremely pleased with what we have been doing so far and we need to keep it up.

On a less exciting note, the table tents that were supposed to be placed in the napkin holders in MAC are too big. This is a huge bummer because we were really banking on these as a promotional piece. But instead of letting this get us down, Katie and Brandon thought of a superb idea. We are just going to hand out the papers at MAC during the busy lunch hours. Tomorrow, Brandon and I are meeting with Carol to discuss the Web site and will make sure it is okay with her before we start handing them out.

New Clients for VisComm

This week I met with the newest client for our firm, Career Services. And let me tell you, this one might be more challenging than I expected. They want us to promote their new services, but we aren't allowed to edit their Web site. The guy I spoke with seemed to know what he wanted, but definitely threw a lot of stuff out there. He spoke highly of Career Services which is hard for me to grasp since what I know about that place revolves around resumes. But apparently all of that has changed. They are now offering mock interviews, workshops, and other various programs to prepare students for the real world. They are still holding job fairs and even helping with internships! Check out their new Web site! They just re-did everything from their appearance online to their buildings appearance. Career Services is stepping it up and hopefully, VisionCommunications can help them change from their old identity to their new one across campus!

Help Needed ASAP!

Hey Social Media Class, this one's for you! As you know, I am the director of our NATIONALLY AFFILIATED firm, VisionCommunications. One of our clients, Polar Bear Nation, is looking for someone to manage their blog. I know we are all busy, but I figured this is a great opportunity for one of us to get our feet wet in the real world. If anyone who is in social media is interested in joining firm and managing this blog, please let me know ASAP! Either comment on here or stop me after class. It would only be once a day. The blog will be about the environment, so there really shouldn't be too much to manage. You will just have to make sure no one is saying anything too out there or causing a ruckus. You would also need to post a few times a week about some new environment issues or something going on in the world affecting the environment. I am sure Agozzino will let this count towards class. Let me know if you are even remotely interested :)

VisionCommunications

Thursday night was amazing. I haven't felt that motivated in awhile. First, we had our first meeting with Donate for Life Do It Now College Challenge. The presenters really impacted our firm. There are some key points that make this challenge a real life experience. I can't wait for our next meeting to start getting our plan together and begin implementation. And even though this is a competition and there is a prize, it all means nothing compared to the action we are taking. Just by signing people up to be donors, we are helping save lives of people young and old. There were a lot of things I didn't know about organ and tissue donations. I feel as though this campaign will do more than just get people to sign up to donate, but they will learn from our campaign, which is important.

And if that was not enough to motivate, we had PRSSA afterwards. Billy Fischer came to speak to us and it was inspiring. He spoke about social media [surprise, i think agozzino is planning this]. And it was the first time I left PRSSA wanting and needing to get on my computer. He was so chill in his presentation, that I wasn't stressed about being behind with social media, but instead, motivated. It really was a great feeling and my new goal is to get onto my social media sites a minimum of once a day. As for blogging, I am determined to write in it at least every other day.
