M2 PLACEMENT

I did my placement at M2 Bespoke over Easter. 

I learnt a lot during my time there, including:

• how to work quickly under pressure
• design skills in Premier pro
• design skills for web use
• how to take my design knowledge and put it into a corporate setting
• working within an office environment with a boss and collegues that you must work collaboratively with.
• learnt about the world of marketing
• how to wake up at 7am 

M2 bespoke manage the social media for companies in order to market them to clients in a certain way. I was shadowing the social media team and helping them to create content for the blog and social media.

day 1- I was tasked with creating an infographic from the article https://www.td.org/insights/why-authenticity-is-critical-to-digital-personal-branding

They take articles off the internet, reword them and simplify them and then make them into an infographic to put on the companies blog. I then made a video of the infographic for the facebook page as it is better to have it in a different format. 

Day 2- After doing developments of the infographic but unable to get feedback as the managing director was out of the office, I instead started on the video for social media that would summarise the points made in the infographic. 

Day 3- recieved feedback on the infographic and video. The brief was changed slightly as instead of illustrated graphics they wanted to use stock images. So I spent the day annoyingly redoing the whole thing

Day 4- presented the finished infographic and then made minor adjustments and continued to work on the video 

Day 5- uploaded the final infographic to the website with the social media manager. And continued to edit the video.

The article was found online and will be edited to save time for the company. This curated content is very new to me and seems a bit like plagiarism.... But this is a quick way to put out content.

The idea is to create an infographic out of summarised information from this article. The infographic needs to represent M2 as a company so it will need to follow the branding colours, typography and include the logo. 

This is the finished infographic. I learnt a lot throughout the process and seeing it be fully published was very satisfying. you can see the full article here: https://m2bespoke.co.uk/blog/reasons-why-authenticity-is-critical-to-personal-branding/
