The last couple of weeks have focussed on introducing all 3 grads to each department. With many clients crossing different practices, it is important to know how the company works together to achieve such fantastic results.

We have also been trained on lots of household matters, such as finance and time sheets, so no excuses now not to fill them in.

Highlight of the week for me, is receiving a round of applause in my first company meeting for volunteering my help to organise the Christmas party. Embarrassing definitely, but also an indication of how Edelman really values its employees and this only added to me feeling very welcome and even more settled.

It was a brilliant and challenging first week, and whilst I breathed a huge sigh of relief on Friday evening, I am also excited to be back for my second week to get stuck back in.

First rotation for me is in the Corporate team, who have welcomed me with open arms. Working on a range of different clients from Starbucks to Mitsubishi Electric, I am looking forward to the next 2 months of getting to grips with corporate PR and hoping to lend a hand whenever I can.

The most exciting news to spring from my first week, is securing my first piece of coverage, after my first sell-in experience. This was a very proud moment for me and, rather embarrassingly, I rang my Mum to let her know that evening.

Already feeling settled in, and as well as all my work with the corporate team, myself and the other 2 grads have been asked to organise the Breast Cancer ‘Wear It Pink Day’ at the end of October, and I have a meeting this afternoon to discuss my experience of acting and theatre. Bring on the second week…
