Second Day Shenanigans

Today was our first day going into the office in downtown Raleigh! Once we arrived at the office this morning Ms. Alaina Ruggery gave us a tour of the building and introduced us to some of her coworkers. We got to sit in on a weekly “creative status” meeting: members of the creative, social, and account teams all debriefed on finished/upcoming projects for clients, as well as, discussed due dates.

Afterward, we met up with Senior Project Manager – Erin and Senior Producer – Deegan. They discussed with us where their interest in the field stemmed from: senior producer, Deegan, did not originally go to school for production and videography but fell into it and loved it at a previous job. Our discussion also led to a riveting conversation about the lack of women in production, videography, editing in this male-dominated field.

After getting our headshots taken, we took a lunch break, and when we returned we had a debrief with Ms. Alaina Ruggery before continuing our shadowing experiences with Senior Account Executive – Rachel. Rachel discussed with us the differences between her job on the account team in comparison to those on the creative team. She highlighted that what she loves most about the job is how every day is something different and exciting due to the versatility of the agency. We learned this does come with the flipside of the difficulty in juggling the wants and needs of different clients across the US and the globe! After loading her with questions specific to her job and regarding different FWV projects and clients (such as their work with Wrangler and the V Foundation), our first day in the office came to an end! Tomorrow, Kendyl, Sonia, Linda, and I look forward to shadowing more company employees in different areas of the office!
