PR in action!!!



This semester I was on a team with Lyric and Andreato do PR for The Colonnade, our student newspaper at Georgia College. Lyric talks about the fundraising of for The Colonnade and Andrea discussed the behind the scenes work that goes on from creating the invitations to making the center pieces. This video is about the finish product and the work that goes on at the event. Our theme for the event was Black, White and READ all over. We were given a budget of $30 for the decoration, gifts, and dessert. We used our creativity and made the center pieces out of newspaper, with paper flowers and boats. To incorporate the black, white and red theme we asked all the guests to wear those colors to the events. For a fun activity at a low cost we decided to have a cake walk using headlines from the newspaper instead of numbers on the floor. As a team we made the cakes and decorated them with things that were relevant to The Colonnade. We had a great turn out of 50 people give or take. The event turned out to be a success and I am glad that I was able to work with these amazing girls to pull of this and everything else we did this semester!
