Week 6: BUSY, BUSY

Monday 7/18: The Start of A Busy Week –

Based on my Monday, I could tell that the next few days were going to be busy, busy (which is awesome)! I started the day monitoring the Facebook page and working on the twitter project I was assigned. Basically, for the twitter project I had to compile a list of “dumb” tweets that mention PETA and organize them in a creative way. In addition, I began working on the PETA2 website revamp in Wordpress; the New Media class I took in the spring really prepared me for this project. Finally, my afternoon was spent doing outreach on the National Mall at our Glass Walls exhibit.

Tuesday 7/19: More Writing J -

I got assigned another writing assignment for the PETA Living blog, this time it was a DIY personal care feature on mood mists. I also spent the entire day working on the projects that I started on Monday.

Wednesday 7/20:  Press Event –

Today was a press event at our Glass Walls Exhibit on the National Mall. PETA’s president, Ingrid Newkirk was there and a congresswoman was supposed to be there, but something happened and she could not make it.  A videographer and a few photographers came and took some group shots regardless of the congresswoman not being there. I turned up my outreach energy to full blast in order to impress Ms. Newkirk J.

Thursday 7/21: Wrap Up For The Week –

I was beginning to wrap up most of my projects for the week, which felt great and I continued to work on my daily tasks, such as monitoring the PETA Facebook page and following people using the PETA twitter page.

Friday 7/22: Camera Crew –

Today was a half day and half the day was spent preparing for a camera crew from the Politico website who was doing a story on the PETA DC office. We had a couple of meetings prior to the videographer’s arrival. After he left we were allowed to leave, but I stayed a few hours longer to get a head start on my new projects that are due the following week. One was a new PETA2 website revamp assignment where I had to work on the “In The News” section of the website. My new twitter project was to compile a list of 40 nice tweets where PETA is mentioned.
