Many hands make light work.

It’s a quiet vacation week. We’ve been able to sit in the conference room a couple times. The different environment in there has helped our collaboration a lot, which is nice because we are all on one project now. We’ve already made a lot of progress. Yesterday after lunch the PR interns and the graphic interns split up. In PR we worked together to make efficient Google docs everyone will work on and then split up the 50 states among ourselves. We each have five states. It’s a good system because we’re each only here for three days each week and we can easily redistribute work among those who are present on any given day.

Ron keeps telling us to “play chess backwards.” We have to specify our end goal, then what we will have to do before that, then before that, and so on. It’s helped a lot. There’s more to the process of 50 than just finding an email address. One thing in particular is that we need to have a lot of specific templates that are “casual” but carefully structured. This is especially important when reaching out to bands because unsigned musicians are very wary of unsolicited offers. We need to make sure they know we won’t take advantage of them. It’s easy to create content that details how the artists will still own their songs and that it will be free and son on but we need to come across as genuine quickly so that they don’t just delete the email without really reading it.

As much as I love the AC in here, it’s time for me to go on vacation next week. I can’t wait to feel the sun!

I hope everyone has an awesome day!
