Zeal Media

  With the Zeal media presentation Jane started by explaining how she started within digital media and talked about the change in the media scene and how she moved into the online side of things, and with this she talked about creating an online presence which reflects you in a good light and will help you either set up your own buisness or help you get a good job within the buisness area that you want.

When she worked offline with a few big companies she learnt the skills of how to do certain things and how to not do others and then when she discovered the huge success of many online buisnesses due to theyre exposure she set up her own comapny 'Zeal'.

As well as explaining her life within the media industry se also went on to explain some of the positions held within the company such as: SEO, PPC, Social Media, Account Management and Designer/Developer. The position that held my attention more than anything was the talk of social media because that is the related area im looking for, im looking to be a community manager within a video game company and the insight I received from her was great regarding how to gain the attention of new followers etc. and then how to maintain them on your page and how to keep your profile up to date and popular but without over saturating it.

Finally we were told about how to get into the media industry with regards to employment, all 3 of the lectures talked about this but this lecture was top dog within relation to me personally due to what I want to do when I leave university, she talked of how work experience was a great way to put your foot in the door and get their attention but also put onto your CV to show that you are capable of using the programmes and software that anyone in that industry uses from day to day.

The most important thing she said relating to media was to always be creative because that’s what many agencies want in their company. All in all the lecture taught me of how to be an effective and successful designer and community member in this digital workplace.
