Most of you will know by now that I will be leaving Beautiful Minds at the end of August to enter the scary world of Primary School teaching! Now that I am coming to the end of my time at Beautiful Minds Promotions (I can't believe how fast 2 years has passed) I am recollecting some of my favourite events, staff and moments at Beautiful Minds HQ.
Looking back through my calendar I have found out the following;
My first client – Linen Lawn
My first supervising role – PURE London
First staff member I met - Sherene Kingston at PURE
Favourite Clients – The Broccoli team especially Elese, Regis and Maxine, Dave at Specialz, Michael and co at Beauty Hair UK, Charlotte at Chilli Sauce, Claire at Wired, The whole Reftech team, Tracey at Vision Express and of course Tim at Lumacoustics!
Top Twitterers – Tim @td_w, Mandy @coconutmandy, Emma Barker Muzzell @emmabarkermuzz, Wayne Ford @wayneford, Maria Dudin @miniduke, Henry Stuart @Henrystuart for taking the best wedding pics for both me and Lisa and Jordan, Caroline Clift @standoutmag for her AMAZING key lime pie recipe! Oh should I mention my husband? Yeah @upy is alright too, if you like cranes.
Favourite brand ambassadors – This is a really tricky one as I have worked with so many lovely people during my time at Beautiful Minds but if I really had to choose it would be the hilarious Jo Schofield and the fabulous Lindsey Carr!
Favourite campaign that I helped with the events staffing – This is another tricky one as we have been involved in some great campaigns, Virgin Media was really great and it's always fun to get staff working for a Brand that they can really get excited about. Beauty Hair UK hair extensions is always a really popular client as well as everyone wants to work on that stand!
Best perks of the job – Got to be Beauty Hair UK. I LOVE MY HAIR EXTENSIONS and any food campaigns!
Funniest moments – Probably the general office banter and sillyness, someone asking Lisa what 'burst' meant (yeah that happened, you know who you are), a certain person's funny telephone voice (you don't know who you are) and of course the prank phone calls – maturity Jordan!
Lessons learnt – When tweeting from your work Twitter account don't mention things that happen to your partner in the bath (no matter how funny you think they are), don't take Jordan's side in any disputes domestic or work related and no matter what always, always smile and carry on.
Skills I have developed – When I first joined the team I was terrified of talking to new clients but it is now one of my favourite parts of the job. You will at some point in your career make a mistake, you just have to man up, take the bull by the horns and make that call you have been dreading but it is NEVER as bad as you think it is going to be and you can always turn it around!
I have absolutely loved working at Beautiful Minds. I began my time at Beautiful Minds straight out of University and it has made me 100% more confident and driven. I am closer than I have ever been to my wonderful sister (and boss) and have a great relationship with my brother in law (mainly out of mutual poking fun at said sister and boss). I have built up brilliant relationships with our brand ambassadors and event managers and most importantly our clients who I will be sad to say goodbye to. However I will be passing my workload into the capable hands of our newest Beautiful Minds recruits Melody and Dominique who are already a great addition to the team and will be keeping the office spirit up.
I wish you both the best of luck and I know you will enjoy working for Beautiful Minds as much as I have done.
Smell you later, peace out, all the best, au revoir, who am I kidding I'll be popping in every Friday afternoon for a catch up, a cuppa and to make sure Lisa hasn't been playing havock with the spreadsheet cells!
