Week Three

In week three of The Big Agency, my team performed our group presentation on “TechForGood” despite it being a last-minute job! As a group, our initial idea was to take on the Manchester City project as we are all football lovers and are familiar with the business; however, after getting halfway through the practice pitch we realised there was little room for improvement since Manchester City already successfully utilises its social media platforms and has a large international fan base. As a result, we collectively decided to change our project last minute to the “TechforGood” campaign that we felt held more scope for innovation. We emailed Mark and Bex to let them know of our change and prepared the speech the night before. Surprisingly, our pitch was a success and Mark credited us on how well put-together it was considering the circumstances. Upon reflection, I believe I need to improve my public speaking and confidence. Next week we will be given feedback from our presentations.

Week Five

We attended the meeting with Reason Digital on the 24th October and presented our initial pitch to them. F rom this, we were told that they wanted us to focus on creating a Facebook page for the campaign and to improve their existing YouTube channel – our primary goal being to get more podcast views. We attended their Tech for Good event " Tech for Good Apps and Mobile " later on in the week. The event gave us a greater insight into how Tech for Good work, including new apps and designs as well as the kind of community they attract. We also benefitted through networking with both the audience and other members of staff.

Week One

I was not able to attend both week one and two of The Big Agency as I was at the hospital due to breaking my wrist, albeit I went through the seminar slides on Moodle to catch up. The seminar sides discussed the importance of employee motivation and that it is the driving force behind achieving business goals. Similarly, I discovered that factors such as salary, working conditions and job security do not provide worker satisfaction but merely prevent dissatisfaction. I have also learnt that a business manager’s outlook influences the way they motivate employees. Through implementing McGregor’s Theory X and Theory Y I understand that Theory X managers believe their employees are lazy and need to be controlled, whereas Theory Y managers trust employees are responsible and reliable. Finally, I have learned that every worker has psychological, security, social and self-actualisation needs that need to be met by their employer in order for them to be motivated and satisfied. ...
