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.
