Over the past two months, I have had the pleasure of being able to work with folks from Fishers Public Relations! Fishers Public Relations is a sector of people that work for the city, in order to keep those within the community updated on what all is new in town.
When my team and I met with our representatives from Fishers PR, Ashley Elrod & Casey Cawthon, they presented us with the challenge of creating a website solely for Fishers PR - as it's own sector - to be able to thrive. The idea of creating and building up a website for such an important part of our city's community, while being able to learn more about the city itself, is what truly drew me into this particular challenge. My team for this challenge included myself, a senior, as well as juniors Alexa Bray and Madison Halkyard. Together, we began with Fishers PR in working towards figuring out the best way(s) to truly interact with and reach other people in the community. This involved lots of conversing with our fellow classmates for ideas, as well as bouncing ideas off of our teachers and PR representatives. From that point, we began developing a website prototype for our PR folks, in order to give them a tangible idea of what to expect from us in terms of a large website. Now, we're working on presenting what w have collectively mapped out as a team to a diverse group of people from the city to get their thoughts and ideas on our work thus far. Then it's onto the production of the real thing! My team members and I all worked collectively to produce ideas and possible layout plans for our prototype site. We each worked to keep ourselves organized; determined to make our current end result the best we can for the moment. From this experience in working with the Fishers PR department, I really learned hoe to better be flexible, collaborative, and patient with other people and situations. Though sometimes we had communication problems, we always did our very best to catch back up in person and lay things out onto the table more clearly. I think that if I were to relive this experience, I would learn how to better organize and plan out the more tangible things being produced. That seems to be one of the only places where I feel I could have majorly improved on a personal level. All in all, I am very thankful to have had such an opportunity to be able to work with the amazing people involved in the Fishers PR department, and cannot wait to see where we end up in the future!
