Getting internship opportunity with PIBE Magazine in London, a good catch for exposure and insights of fashion, beauty and art industry. Thankyou Coventry University London Campus for the wonderful opportunity.
Work Activities
First week started off with introduction of the magazine and it works. Many tasks were there to work on from print issues to social media tasks, publishing to research and writing articles to credits. A lot more were there but I was asked to start with research work. Task was to find the competitors and to analyze them to get ideas for magazine content. Other tasks were to analyze and suggest how often should PIBE Magazine should post and what hashtags to use. Previous Magazines were given to have an idea of the PIBE and for the research what content works best for them. I learned a lot in my research and gave me an idea of the insights on fashion magazines. Overall work experience was easy as well as hard at the same time and tasks were difficult and to learn from.
Reflection
Starting with research work it was difficult to understand the pillars on which PIBE Magazine works so I thoroughly researched the previous issues and received the guidelines from the editor of the magazine to get myself comfortable in working and surround myself in that particular bubble. I was having some confusion and I discussed it with my mentor at the magazine and he cleared my confusion regarding the issues and I got good and positive feedback of my work and I was told that we will work print side of magazine in the next week. I can say, I could have done the research on competitors better by filtering the competitors according to the PIBE and I have to work on my writing to make it better. Most of the tasks and material given to me was asked to keep confidential between me and the organization only. So, there is not much information I am sharing but surely you will have an idea of work tasks and other things on working with the fashion magazine. Stay tuned for the next blog.
