Oh, November...

You're a busy month!

The run-up to Christmas - and all the way until April, apparently - is completely hectic, so I'm bracing myself! I can already feel the shift - journalists are ringing me more often with requests for product samples, though this does mean that we have awards coming out of our ears, which is always a good thing!

So, at the moment, it's coverage-around-the clock - we have a new coverage clippings service, which sends us all the coverage we have received in print publications and online. It's very thorough (which is great, as we never miss anything!) but it's also a lot of work alongside all of my other duties.

Please don't think I'm moaning - this is one of the aspects of the role I was looking forward to, as I love being busy! There is a general consensus among the placement students that the roles certainly pack a lot in, so apply for Panasonic and you will never be sat drumming your thumbs!

In other news...

The other week, I had an idea about getting involved in some of the work done by the Eco Ideas team. Eco Ideas is a major part of Panasonic's business philosophy and is all about a company co-existing in harmony with the world and with society. This is a side of business in which I am really interested, so I have put myself forward as...

Panasonic's Eco Reporter!

Yes, really. It means I will go along to Panasonic's Eco Ideas events and do a 60-second piece to camera (eek!) explaining the event and also interviewing a few people, which will then get published on our intranet.

Very nervous about this - but also excited! We will be doing a trial-run in just over a week's time, as Panasonic will be taking part in a conservation activity, helping to clear a nature reserve of goarse bushes...wish me luck!
