MY LAST DAY AT PREEN BY THORNTON BREGAZZI

Today was my last day at Preen. Throughout the whole day I redid the Preen World Collage all over again, the new Sales Executive told me that the designer didn’t like some aspects, so I had to change some sections - but I couldn’t find the raw file anymore, so I had to re-do everything and that took the whole day.

In the end, she still wanted to change some things, but I organised everything in files and send them to my study buddy. It will be her task to finish, but I made it as easy as I could for her.

This was my final outcome after the Sales Executive’s amendments. 

In the end, they gifted me a Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Book about their history and journey from the last ten years, they also gave me a Preen phone case (which is like £80 worth, but it’s just a basic phone case with their SS19 Print and brand logo) - I didn’t expect anything from them but it was a nice gesture.

Instagram Stories I have created for the next day for my intern buddy.

Today my morning task consisted of organising my supervisors Sell-Through sheets, again into Main Collection and Preen Line.

Afterward, I asked my intern buddy if there is any task I can take over for her. So I had to basically research boxes for a collaboration they will do with Matches-fashion in the future. The box had to be big so they can fit a tea set, card set, napkins - basically a gift set. My supervisor gave me similar inspiration images to look for.

At the same time, I was creating Instagram Stories for today and even did the ones for tomorrow (because I knew my supervisor was planning Wednesday as if I would come in tomorrow as well). I created the ones the next day, so my intern buddy doesn’t have to add any more tasks to her already long list.

At the end of the day, I had to bring one of the collection pieces to the dry cleaner because whenever the Sales Team goes for store visits or meetings they have to wear Preen clothes and they have to be dry cleaned afterward. After coming back from the cleaners, my supervisor talked about a lot of task for tomorrow, but I had enough.

This was my final outcome fo the Preen World Collage 2019

Today’s been about finishing the Preen World Collage with the last amendments of my supervisors, I had to change some of the placements of the magazine and celebrity sections, but overall they liked and I did a good job.

Although it was only small amendments, it still took me half of the day and after lunch, I was back on doing Product Books. This time I was far quicker than usual because when you’ve been doing over six product books you already have some of the layouts, images and texts finished - some stores order similar items or even the same ones, so it’s basically a copy and paste task.

While continuing the product books for the first hour of today, the Sales Manager gave me the task to do their Preen World Collage. First, I was a bit confused about it, but after she sent me several Collages from the past few years, it got clearer.

One of the stories I created. 

Today I’ve been mostly busy creating Instagram Stories for Bloomingdales and Stephanie’s, while my supervisor gave me magazine references where the models work the Preen collection, I had to connect them to the stores and present a story that makes potential customer but the item (which is sometimes not sold very well at stores, so we kind of promote it through social media.

Some Invitations I did, but the Sales Team wasn’t satisfied with my outcomes. 

Today was the same as yesterday, I had to create some more stories for the Main Line account while linking them to the websites that selling the items like Net-A-Porter or Matches Fashion.

Throughout the day I also managed to finish two Product Books, every time we finish the texts we have to print them in black and white plus double-side and give them our Sales Manager to proof-read.

Some Instagram Stories I created for their Mainline Instagram account.

Coming back from the Formative Reviews and the weekend, I had to create Instagram Stories again for the Main Line account.

Some of the stories I created and posted.

Today was all about creating Social Media Stories, again. I never complain when they give me a creative task, although this creative task most often consists of creating Instagram Stories, that means I can work with own ideas and layout than work with something they give me beforehand.

When the buyers came, we had to bring some tea and water upstairs for them, it was always alright for me to do it, but the stairs in the office are the most dangerous stairs I’ve seen on a workplace, so I had to make sure to not spill anything and at the same time not fall down.
