Work Experience

This week has really been a massive eye opener for me. Maddison Brett and I did our work placement at Billabong with the Marketing Coordinator, Nadia Anderson. At the start of the week we read over a few proposals and fixed up some insurance and then we were asked to plan a promotion photo shoot to win a free trip to Bali, That afternoon we went to the Billabong store to choose some clothes for the shot and at 4:30 on Tuesday morning we set off to Nusa Dua to film for the day. A few of Billabongs sponsored surfers came with us and we ended up back at another beach called 'Halfway' because the surf was a lot better there.

Over the next few days I wrote an account about our film/photo shoot for the Billabong blog, went to a meeting at the Denpasar warehouse regarding a family day for the workers and got some sponsors for a few events like the City Squared Asia skating event.

Towards the end of the week Billabong sponsored a Javanese boy named Febri who is a really good little surfer. We took him to the shop to pick up his sponsorship package, which included clothing, surf wear and accessories and he was over the moon.

Working at Billabong in the Marketing department has been really fun. It has given me a sense of direction with where I want to go in life career wise and I would jump at the chance to do it again.
