I am currently working in a PR agency - and with everything happening at the moment, no day looks the same ! If I had to describe a typical day I would say, I always start the day reading the news, both for my clients and for my own personal knowledge. I work on the press office of a big restaurant chain in the UK so I monitor for any journalist enquiries and draft statements accordingly if needed. I also work on strategy and scenario planning for campaigns and crisis management. More recently, I’ve started working with influencers for some campaigns which is very exciting !
