Faith Shoes, PR Marketing, Department, Head Office

To some up this month in one sentance, I can honestly say, that this was an experince of what its like to 'start from the bottom and work your way up'!  I was fortunate enough to be able to work along side the PR team for Faith Shoes; and this was where I realised, I could definetely see my self doing this job in 5 years time!... maybe not precisely 5 years but in the future, for sure!
   My responsibilities for helping the PR team were: firstly, keeping the sample cupboard tidy. The sample cupboard was like any girls dream! All that was accompanying me was shoes, shoes.. and more shoes.. and a few bags just too add! I found this more like shoe heaven rather than hard work!, So this task wasn't a problem for me. I ensured that the shoes were on the stand, sometimes in order of the season; sometimes seperated the heels from flats and boots or sometimes even colour coordination.
   Another responsibility I had was inputting the samples onto the system and dispatching to the publications. Otherthan the obvious, lots of taping up packages and bags of shoes!, this was a great task as it enabled me to familiarise myself with the magazines and PR names from companies.
Overall, I loved the experience I had with Faith Shoes, not only were they all lovely, and let me get involved with watching a casting, with male models... but the overall experience was a great start and taster into my future! It broadened my fashion knowledge and had a great insight to how a PR Marketing department functions.
