Hello all,

Things keep getting better and better for us! Over the last week, we have had a meeting with Media Talent Bank who asked us to take on the website and implement our ideas to the website. Originally we were unsure whether to take it on because we weren't sure if it would fulfil our assignment brief, but after speaking to our tutor Julie, we realised it would really benefit us to do it and now it means we have a real client we will be working for.

The website already exists and so we do not have the problem of starting a website from scratch. As well as this, Media Talent Bank want us to have most of the control on the website so we will be able to create extra features. The main aim of this is to get more people onto the site and so there will be a massive PR push throughout. We spoke to Media Talent Bank about the event we want to hold and they have funding which can go towards it. The event will be a re-launch and we discussed with Media Talent Bank about doing little networking evenings in the the run-up, varying from various sectors of the creative industry which will hope to generate more traffic to the site.

From our very positive meeting, we went away to draw up a new proposal with our aims and objectives for the project. We put forward most of our ideas that we had initially set for our website. Media Talent Bank will get back to us with ones we can and cannot do, although for some of them we will need to pitch our ideas to them so let's hope it goes well!

We hope to take over the website in January, so before then we have time to continue with our research. We have been sending out various questionnaires asking whether people would use a site like this and what they want from it etc. as well as continuing with the professional context and market research.

So things are looking good and we are all very excited to get the ball rolling. We have lots of creative ideas for the PR and alterations/additions to make to the site!

I think that is about all to report from our eventful week, so let's wait and see what is to come....bye for now x
