What a tiring week! But great nevertheless.
TF made the announcement; before I could reason with him. I have nothing against his decision to centralized web, Interactive, mobile and new media under IT. I just wished I had the chance to talk to him, and understand from his point of view, his bigger picture. As well as to make him understand what drives me and keeps me motivated.
2 weeks has passed after the announcement. We have finally came to an agreement that I will sit with the marketing team; but sadly away from my guys who will be sitting at IT Dept. There has been a lot of argument, that if I am now an IT staff, I should be sitting with the IT team. But my argument is, that if my role remains status quo, it makes sense for me to sit with the marketing team. After all, Interactive needs to synergize with marketing and communication is key. I am glad that all solved and done. And more reason why I adore empress.
Anyway, thewrecktan (who is now crazy in love with his Evil Janet), our corporate blogger join me as my social media specialist – which I simply love love love! Why? Coz he is the perfect guy to fit this role – social media savvy, lotsa good ideas, mature in his thinking (though he is only 25!), great writing skills, proactive and he works fast! I gave him one week to prepare his social media strategy and he came back with his first draft the next day!
Other than that, I’ve got the SEM specialist role filled as well. Hope to kick ass in all the search engines!
Interviewed a few candidate for Interactive Marketing exec role and now finalizing the perfect candidate to fit this role. For this role, I needed someone who eat, breath, sleep the internet. Someone who has a lot of drive and passion for AA. Who is creative, proactive, team player, independent and most importantly have chemistry with me :D Basically she has to be a mini karen! hahaha…
As for the web team… there’s a lot of work for me to do since it’s now ‘parked’ under Interactive. The team needs motivation and there’s lots to improve where website and enewsletter is concerned.
Last but not least, Mobile is still pretty much work in progress! Someone has got to give me a direction!
Oh boy, I’ve got a lot on my plate…
