Instagram Captions
Press Release
In this group project, I was tasked in crafting the press release introducing our hypothetical pop-up event for the brand Something to Hold. Undertaking this new style of writing was challenging as it diverged from my familiar academic writing which I had to adapt to.
The main difference between the two styles was the need for creativity in the press release. Our aim with the press release was to both excite readers and provide them with relevant information. To accomplish this, I delved into multiple press releases and thoroughly understood our target audience. By adopting a journalistic style, I strived to anticipate the interests and questions of consumers, aiming to create a captivating story that would engage them effectively.
Interview Transcript
Embarking on the creation of this Interview Transcript, intended to showcase an artist through their personal narrative, has provided invaluable opportunities for skill development. Crafting relevant and engaging interview questions, essential for conveying the artist's essence, demanded both creativity and strategic thinking to maintain a cohesive narrative flow. Moreover, liaising with interviewees to ensure accuracy and their comfort emphasised the importance of interpersonal communication but also instilled a sense of professional etiquette. Furthermore, mastering time management to schedule interviews efficiently, accommodating the artist's availability, highlighted the significance of organisation and flexibility in meeting project deadlines.
Through this project, I have cultivated a nuanced understanding of interview dynamics, honed essential communication skills, and sharpened my ability to orchestrate multifaceted projects effectively.
Tasked with creating captions for the posts, I encountered a significant challenge: curating captions from a perspective other than my own while preserving the brand's voice. However, through thorough research into the brand's tonality and audience, I successfully navigated this obstacle. Immersing myself in their online presence, including websites, emails and Instagram, proved helpful in overcoming this hurdle and ensuring the authenticity in the brand's distinct voice.
