After 6 Events

The Ottawa Post Event Video:



The Victoria post event video



It has been another long hiatus since I last updated this but I now have a moment to breath so I thought I would post a new entry. It has officially been 3 full days back at home and it is nice to sleep in my own bed. I do not miss the hotel beds with their overly fluffy pillows and their hard mattresses. I also do not miss having to eat unhealthy foods. Their is only so much subway one can eat before having to indulge in some of the more tasty, unhealthy fast food joints.

Since my last post I had driven to Ottawa from Halifax and put on the Campus Chase event which despite the rain was a huge success. I have quickly found that we are an amazing events company. The events we put on seem to run extremely well and all the participants have an amazing time. Lets hope now that they become brand ambassadors and help spread Campus Chase so next year it becomes even bigger.

Their was a quick turn around and we drove to Montreal and had a day to prepare for the Montreal Campus Chase event. All hands were on deck and if it were not for the "fantastic four" Myself, Madison, Jordan and Cory this event would not have run as well as it had. We had our work cut out for us but we managed to pull it off.

The hell began after this event. I hit an ultimate low the following day. I had driven home to Toronto to spend two quality days of relaxation before heading to Edmonton to put on our 6th event. I had one task on Sunday and it was suppose to take an hour and a half. 8 hours later I was still working on the same task and ready to quit. I pulled through and took the next day to really analyze the entire situation. It had been 21 days of being on the road, we just launched a brand new property, and we were all tired. No wonder I was emotionally drained.

To put things all into perspective I really have learned a tremendous amount. It is to the point where I would be able to ace every MBA interview I will have based on all of my experience gained in 2 and half months. I have been able to learn about brand launching, experimental marketing, staff management, sponsor integrations, sponsor relations, sponsor management, budgeting, shipping and recieving and the list goes on.

I flew out to Edmonton on Tuesday Oct 27th and we ran our event on the 29th. The regional director was really on the ball and helped make our lives a lot less stressful. We pulled our 6th event and finally had a break. We all flew back to Toronto on the friday and had the weekend to recover.

Now here I am back on the grind for another 3 weeks. We have 3 events left Toronto, Winnipeg and Quebec City. It is down to the short strokes I am excited to be done but also excited at the new opportunities that await.

Until next time
THE CHASE IS ON
