Wow, I knew I was neglecting my blog a lot in recent months but I had no idea a year had passed since my last post. It seems not working with social media every day makes it harder to find the time to log on and keep your online presence..
What didn’t help is that my URL seemed to disappear completely, leaving me with a not-so-enticing WordPress address Luckily www.prgirl.co.uk is now happily back up and running (I hope..)
So what brought me back? Well if I’m honest it was actually good old-fashioned pride that gave me the push to get back on here.
We’re currently working with an agency to put together a digital PR workshop for the business and after an hour long meeting discussing content, I was left feeling a little embarrassed I used to work for a social media agency, so why was I so behind after less than a year? Now having someone know more than me about something isn’t new to me, I’m obviously still learning and welcome people passing on knowledge, but this was different. This meeting was something I should know about, something I’m supposed to be quite good at, so I’m getting back in the game (as geeky as that sounds) to make sure I don’t get left behind again!
Working in a pharmaceutical company has been so different to life at Wolfstar, I’ve learnt so much about the relationships with in-house comms and agencies and more than anything I will always respect those PR’s that spend their days trying to please in-house regulatory- it’s a difficult skill to master!
I can’t believe I’m nearing the end of my time here at GSK- only a couple of short months left to go! Although it’s definitely going to be strange to leave here and London (which I’ve fallen in love with..) I think the experience has and will continue to help me in the future. Now I just have the slightly daunting task of figuring out what’s next!
And despite the lack of posts for the last year, you still have at least one keen reader. When can we expect the next installment?
Glad to hear it Stuart! I did wonder whether there would be anyone left to read it after all this time. Don’t worry, the next post is coming soon… Hope things are going as well as ever at Wolfstar, I miss it!
Welcome back, Natalie! I am happy to see you in the cyberspace again.
Stuart, make that two readers.
