Thanks everybody!

My first couple of months at Thornley Fallis have been great.
A new job is always daunting and you have all made my transition enjoyable and understandable. I had a lot of unformed ideas about what working in an agency might be like, but I have to say I’ve been pleasantly surprised. The learning curve is steep but I wouldn’t want to be here if it wasn’t.
This is just a short post. I needed to break the ice and say an official ‘hello’ here on the PR Girlz blog before too much time passes. As a former PR Girlz special correspondent, I’m especially happy to be here.
Any advice for the greenest girl in the group?

Hi Kyra,
Welcome aboard. It’s great to have a new voice added to the Blog.
One idea. How about adding some video posts? I thought the “hello TF” video that was posted on my internal blog was a very effective way to get ideas across.
Maybe you should consider being the first PRGirlz Video Correspondent…

It’s not a bad idea. We’ll have to see how everyone feels about me roaming around the office with my video camera, though!

I look forward to reading. Or, if you take the video route, watching.
Will Chris Clarke be starting PR Boyz?

Hi Kyra,
Glad to hear your PR career has taken off!
My advice is to ask lots of questions. The folks there understand you are just starting out. When accepting new projects from colleagues ask about work scope/deadlines, write all this info down for future reference.
Agency life is somewhat Darwinian in nature, with only the fittest surviving. No worries you will survive and thrive if your colleagues/clients keep coming back with new requests, it means they like the work you do! A sure sign of success is that you are busy, meeting and exceeding billable targets.
Cheers,
Camille
