Exhibition Groups

I have been assigned to the Exhibition Group, compared to Graphics or Website. This means me and my team are responsible for all the publicity, getting the guest list and general organising. Sava is our team leader and after our first lesson, I believe that was a a good choice. (He is very organised and good at spreading the work over everyone.)

For next week I was asked to find out about radio publicity, think of ideas for a guest list and materials that I could gather.

CUR1350 - ANGLIA RUSKIN






















A good friend of mine does a radio show on a Sunday night called bragging rights, based in Cambridge. It is broadcast on the university radio station and has listeners from both chelmsford and Cambridge (mainly being students.) He has agreed to have myself and some team mates to come down on the show and have a guest interview and talk about the event. This will provide us to get the word to more people in the local area.

I will also be sending e-mails to the larger radio stations: Such as Heart FM, BBC ESSEX, Chelmsford Radio, Dream FM, Southend Radio, Saint FM (Maldon), Red Radio. It is highly likely that most will not respond, or want to give it a mention. But it cant hurt to send an e-mail to them asking, then if no replies are heard ringing to see if that imrpoves our chances.

Guest List... Who will be attending???
















I have started to research into companies and organisations that could be invited to the event. It makes no sense to start looking outside of chelmsford, as they are less likely to travel inside.

My Ideas at the moment (these will be discussed with the group.)









Strike Designs - Wev Design Agency (Website Design Agency.)
69 Bishop Road, Chelmsford, CM1 1PY








DesignGLondon - DesignG London Limited is a full service design agency based in Chelmsford. Serving London, Essex and the rest of the home counties, we have over 15 years experience offering the creativity and services of a London agency at competitive rates.






I have also spoken to my older brother who works for Detica, a website design group for the government and he will be attending. He might also be able to attend with some colleagues.


These are just some examples, I will be contacting many more design agencies that are based in Chelmsford over the next week and hoping for some good replies.

  1. Well done Daniel. If I was you I wouldn't limit myself with geographical issues. Invite any company that sounds interesting or useful for you and your class. If they can't come, at least you try. But you never know, people get paid for looking and finding talent! At least, give it a go. Also, maybe contacting student service and asking them about headhunter groups or employment groups contacts might be useful. Just an idea... you never know.
