SMM CA2 Slides

We are now starting on our smm slides and have alredy distributed our roles for the slides.

Filming of DMB Video

After showing Lynus our video clips we took at the pet shelter, he suggested that we retake the video. However, we are unable to go back to the pet shelter because of our schedule issues. We changed our entire plan and went to Jasilyn's house to refilm the entire video. The filming went on for 5 hours and we managed to get all the shots done. We believe that our film now is much better than the one we did at the pet shelter, because Jasilyn's dog was much more disciplined, and we had all the time to film. We have officially ended our posting on Petfie's social media pages. We have also concluded our giveaway we held on Petfie. Joshua will do a follow up with the winners and work with Jerome in sending out the prizes.

Meeting with Petfie during HBL Week

During the HBL week, we had a meeting with Petfie on Wednesday in his office and we discussed about the giveaway that is on-going. Jerome had suggestions for us like where we could find photos of pets with high resolutions for our Facebook and Instagram posts. He also gave us comments on how to improve the quality of our posts to attract more activity among readers and users. 

Furthermore, we discussed about our DMB video plan with him and showed him the storyboard. Below is the storyboard.

He agreed to let us film the video at the pet shelter, Blk 2 Fur Canines. We made some changes to our storyboard, adding in comments and suggestions given by Mr Lynus and Jerome and went ahead to film our video at the pet shelter on Saturday, as it was only their free day. 

On Saturday, we met at the Pet Shelter and filmed our video. It was really difficult to film with dogs as compared to humans. The challenging part was to get the dogs to move the way and direction we wanted, the key point was that we could only have one take. The dog would not go the same direction again if we had multiple takes. We hope that the final video would be up to Jerome's expectations.

CA2 Practical 3 presentation

We have successfully presented our research on both local and overseas companies to our class today. To add on, we have also planned our contents to post on Petfie. Jasilyn is incharge of promoting the sponsors, Joshua- promote giveaway, QinHan- promote petfie app, Renzo- pet news and i will be posting about interesting pet facts. It has already been scheduled on Facebook and all we have to do is to post on their Instagram daily. Our giveaway is being delayed and will be reposted to involve more pet owners to join the giveaway. For the time being, we will just be posting on the social media and work on the giveaway. 

Petfie Social Media

We have successfully posted our first post on Petfie's Facebook and Instagram! We are all very happy to gain admin rights to the page!

June Holiday Plans for Execution

On 6 June, we went to Jasilyn's house to discuss about our execution plans and have sent out emails for collaboration with companies. We also discussed about the video tutorial plans for Petfie, we plan to go down to Jasilyn's friend house to film the tutorial and have already submitted our storyboard to Lynus. To add on, We have also separated ourselves into the local and overseas groups for the CA2 part 1 of the project. Joshua and I are in the overseas company group while Jasilyn, Qin Han and Renzo are in the local company group. 

During the holidays, we have also submitted our draft of the facebook and instagram posts for Petfie accounts to Jerome. We did it on excel sheets and sent it to him.

Furthermore, we started on our research for our specific companies. For me and Joshua, we chose yummypets for our overseas company because they have 5 social media platforms for us to research on. They are also active on their facebook platform, which made it easier for us to do our analysis on their company. We started doing our slides and are almost done with it. 

SMM CA1 Submission and Presentation

We manage to complete our report and slides and submitted them. Also, we had our CA1 Presentation on Tuesday. We were really nervous as we were the first group to present. We split the roles of the presentation slides equally and everyone had to be familiar with their slides. Through discussing, we decided to not bring notes and script for our presentation as it would make it difficult for us to have eye contact. We managed to pull it off, and we were glad that we were able to present our ideas to the class.

Third Meeting With Petfie

Today, 20/5/15, we went over to Petfie's office to discuss our final plan for the timeline and to discuss about our proposal. We managed to decide on the rough timeline and get our approvals for certain plans, like the mini event for the Petfie app. However, we didnt manage to get approval for one of our plans, which is the pop-up advertisement for the Petfie App. Jerome said that they couldnt
do it because it would take too long of a time. Since we only had a few months to work with Petfie, he suggested that we focus on other plans like the video tutorial for petfie instead. 

Second Meeting With Group

The second meeting with Petfie on 7th of May was very meaningful. We successfully discussed about the plans we intend to do for Petfie. Our group came up with a proposal for Petfie, which has yet to be approved. Hopefully, by next week, we will be able to have a draft copy of the report and at least get started on the presentation.

The Day Of Meeting

It was the of meeting Mr Jerome. We were lucky enough to have found his office without any troubles. We met Junnie, one of the workers, whom further helped us to gain more understanding of Petfie. We then went on to discuss the plans for Petfie, Although we didnt have enough plans for petfie, we were determined to do more researches. After the meeting, we were greeted with a heavy downpour. We were stucked at the building and were drenched by the time we reached the nearest mrt. It was meaningful and a fun meeting day with Petfie.

Successful Pitching

We have successfully pitched to Petfie in our first try. We learnt things about Petfie and why Mr Jerome started Petfie. All of our members thought it was really cool, which made us to choose petfie.

I have sent an email the day after the initial meeting for a follow up meet up for our plans for Petfie. So i have sent an email to Mr Jerome Chan, the founder of Petfie. Below is the picture for the email i sent.

Fortunately, we got our reply.

I look forward to the day when we meet Jerome to discuss more about the plans for Petfie.
