Internship

The purpose of my doing this internship was to productively use my spare time during my college holidays.

This has given me an insight into how a corporate works, the opportunity to mingle with people, be part of a creative team, do the task assigned to me judiciously, see the kind of work done by Phase 1 on the field etc.

It will also be a good tool for me in the future when I will be aspiring to do higher education, or when I apply for a good job.

Phase 1Phase 1 comprises of a dynamic team of people. The events are widely encompassing and provide a huge canvas for growth, learning and creativity. Even though the Company is split into teams, all the teams work together to make one good event.

Project 1Angkor Wat

Angkor Wat is a music festival which is going to be held at Cambodia behind the Angkor Wat temple. It is one of the biggest events which is going to be held by Phase 1. It is going to be an International Music Festival where people from all around the world would come.

The work that was assigned to me was to do research on all the Music Festival websites and get the attractions from each website such as the countdowns to the festivals, theme to the websites, etc. All the data had to be put into a power point presentation and to highlight all the attractions on all the website screenshots.

Scope of Work

By this project I learnt how to use the Application - Powerpoint and that before doing a big event a lot of research and preparations have to be made and we must understand what the world wants and we must find all the provisions to give them.

And a lot of time, effort and patience is needed to put up a Great and Successful event.

Project 2Fastrack

The Fastrack Event was supposed to be held for their sales promotions. They were targetting colleges as their brand is meant for the youth. The plan was to have a dance event or a fashion show which would attract the college crowd and drive them into going into the store for registration and to promote the brand by playing the show on television. But unfortunately the Event couldn’t take place.

For this event I was a part of a Brain Storming where I had to put in my Ideas for how to go on with the event. I had to put in all my Ideas into a word document from what I have seen at the previous college events. I also had to give picture ideas where I had to get High Resolution images to insert into the PowerPoint presentation to submit to the client.

Scope of Work

Ideas can be thought of at a Brain storming much faster than when you think of ideas yourself, because we have more people, more thoughts and plenty of key words are brought up where ideas could be related to and we have people to tell us the possibility of the idea being brought to life.

The most important thing at client servicing is to make the power point presentation most attractive to convince the client and get the contract.
