OH dear....

Due to a unfortunate chance, i was unable to send out my press release and invitations, contact was persistantly made but i recieved or heard nothing back from the person i needed to to be able to send out the press release. This made me feel very annoyed and let down due to the amount of work i had put into the making of the press release, I knew nothing about a press release or anything to do with PR before and had to teach myself all about the industry i am so passionate about. But instead of getting annoyed and give up i decided that if this was the indusrty i wanted to enter into i would have to get use to it. So i took a deep breathe and just got on with it, i emailed Zoe and asked her if there was anything else i could do which would be simular to sending a press release out. So we decided on sending a covering email which would include the links to all the press releases from The Photographers Gallery and Selfridges. I was asked to send this to my contacts that i had previously collected when thinking about sending the press release out.

This had a positive outcome as i got some feedback from the bloggers which i was really pleased about, they basically explained how they would love to come to the event and are planning to come. Though this didnt allow me to explore design opportunities as what i was asked to send out was very limited in design etc.

I am pleased about the way i handeled the situation and feel that i dealt with it well and professional, this has also been said by my tutor which i was very happy about. I feel this error and mishap has been a major learning curve for me personally and professionally.
