A Day in the Life…
A Day in the Life of an Intern at Sportsman Channel
This is a guest post written by our Communications Intern, Brittney Horn.
Hi all! Michelle asked if I would be interested at writing a post and I jumped at the chance! I figured I could detail a typical day for me at Sportsman Channel (though no two days are the same) and give you all some insight as to what it’s like to work for the leader in outdoor TV for the American Sportsman!
8:00 AM – 8:30: Assess the damage in my e-mail and see what projects have priority. (Which, of course, all of them are important so it’s more based on which task or project is due first.)
8:30-9:00: Reply to said e-mails, make a list dividing up my day so one project doesn’t get more attention than another, drink 3rd cup of coffee for the day.
9:00-10:00: Meet with Michelle to go over what I’ve been working on, adding about 3-5 more assignments to complete. Also meet with our publicist, Ryan, to go over what projects we have together and how they are progressing.
10:00-11:00: Write press releases. Lots of press releases.
11:00-12:00: Accomplish a task that randomly pops up during the day (i.e. packing & shipping 4 boxes of items for our next Hunt.Fish.Feed event, contacting the Mayor of the next town we will be visiting for an event to see if he/she could make an appearance, drive to Office Depot twice to drop of promotional items to be cut, etc.)
12:00-1:00: Eat delicious sushi or Mexican food with my co-workers (Okay this isn’t typical really but I wanted to point out that we sometimes get taken out for lunch which is a major plus!)
1:00-2:00: Research. This includes a wide variety of topics such as outdoor bloggers, potential PR stories we could pitch to magazines & newspapers, sponsors for a blogger summit…the list goes on and on.
2:00-3:00: Meet with Ryan again to clean up our PR database by separating people into different categories and to talk about our other projects and how we are doing with them.
3:00-4:00: Update our monthly viewer comments document and our monthly press reports. I unfortunately don’t get to this every day, but ideally I would like to.
4:00-5:00: Wrap up any projects for the day and begin preparing for the next great day at Sportsman Channel!
