The Polished Man Can

I knew this blog would come in handy. As Digital Co-ordinator I was asked to post videos onto the website via WordPress and generate complimentary content. This is one blog post I wrote for Dave. If you look at 'Recent Posts', you can see some of my other work.

YGAP has truly been an inspirational organisation to work for.

Woolies leave farmers cold

Source: FlavourCrusader

Woolworths have landed themselves in rather hot water surrounding their proposition to charge vegetable farmers for its latest fresh food campaign.

A new fee of 40c a crate will go towards Jamie's current Garden advertisement series. Doesn't sound like much, but this extra cost is additional to an existing marketing levy.

Rather tough for farmers. It is almost as if we are dissing 'our true blue spirit' for blatant promotion. Although Jamie is great for Woolworths (as Coles have Curtis Stone), it is essential for corporations to instill a community brand. Farmers are the cornerstone of Australian produce. Essentially, this proposition is going against the Australian population. Previous accounts of large Supermarkets 'ripping off dairy farmers to sell milk at lower prices' has not gone down too well.

It will be interesting to see what Woolworths PR team has to say, as this could easily become a crisis if mishandled.

But Daddy, I want it na-oow!

You know you desperately want something when you feel your eyes well up just thinking about it. My poor boyfriend Jack just had to comfort me, as I bellowed at him "I JUST WANT A JOB IN COMMUNICATIONS SO BAD! I WANT IT NOW!" It kind of went something like this...

I wish my Daddy could get me this NOOOOOW!

Till next time,

 (The next post will be constructive I do promise)

Apologies for the lack of correct punctuation/capital letters. I was a bit excited

Ain't life Gra(n)d....

I am extremely apologetic for my lack of posts! I have started back up at uni and my perfectionist self is in overdrive. I have also been busy throwing myself 100% into finishing my beautifully constructed graduate CV and cover letter. (If you are a potential employer, pleeeeeease do know a lot of sweat and tears have been put into the two items. They are also not generic). I must say, I can usually boast that I am the greatest person to walk this Earth (apart from the oh so great Bill Murray of course). But to summarise it and do so in a convincing manner is not so easy! When I spoke to my best friend who is now 2 years out of uni with a fantastic marketing job, I told her I wanted to put "zombie movies" in my interests. This was responded with a swift "no"... followed by this face :|. Point taken.

I hope this blog proves to be another avenue for everyone to see that I am not just "another graduate". I did not do this degree because of the potential lucrative pay check or perks. I genuinely do love communicating to people, whether it be verbal, written or even body language (I am rather theatrical but extremely loveable). So if you do read this, and you believe that I do not translate well on paper - give me a shot. I do not know how to do anything below 100% (and I can supply you with an endless amount of cat memes)
