Too much work - is it ever a bad thing?
One of the beauties of my job is the variety. I like to get involved in all kinds of projects - as a PR company in Staffordshire there is no sense in being picky! We can't afford to turn work down, particularly in the current economic climate.
And I see no real reason to focus on one type of business - I can help any company, large or small, regardless of what their budget is or what category they fall into. Because of this, every day is different.
For instance, the past week alone has seen me working on a blog for a sports retailer, collaborating with a web expert on search engine placement, copywriting for a security company's new website, developing an idea for bite-size PR workshops, and promoting loads of different companies and events.
It's great fun!
Alongside this, I have several other blogs on the go. And I'm working on traditional PR campaigns for about 20 other companies and pitching for work with another five or six. It's manic!
These are the types of companies I'm working with right now:
- Two different web developers
- A security company
- Bespoke marquee manufacturer
- Independent financial adviser
- Two visitor attractions
- International charity
- Two different retailers
- Commercial refrigeration specialist
- Recruitment consultancy
- Business development expert
- Two major musical events
- Will-writer
- Engineering company
- Telemarketing consultancy
- Local college
- Motivational speaker
I can't complain - there are loads of companies out there who would love to be in my position. But it means I am always looking for ways to manage my time better, or people who would like to help me out.
Unfortunately I am not really in a position to pay at the moment, but if anyone out there would like to gain experience with a thriving young PR company in Stoke-on-Trent then I'm all ears!
