First Meeting with Digi

Nervous!!!

This is the type of look you can get from the presenters of the day which are the Director of Advertising and Sponsorship (most nervous individual), Director of Programming (Activities) and Director of Programming (Exhibition).

Today is the day whereby the Director of Advertising and Sponsorship will propose their ideas to DiGi and also to persuade the DiGi personnel to sponsor our event. Can you imagine the pressure when the fate of the whole event is on your shoulder? Many of us have the luxury of not knowing but the Advertising and Sponsorship Department have no choice but to endure it. Give them our fullest support!!

Practicing…

Final preparation…

Before the arrival of Ms Julia, representative from DiGi, the presenters were preparing and practicing for the big moment at V102. The rest of us who are not presenting, help to ease their pressure by creating the environment of the meeting such as arranging furniture and clear up any rubbish on the floor.

Arranging the furniture according to meeting setting…

There is only ONE chance to pitch DiGi.


At approximately 5.15pm, the presentation begins!

It begins with the presentation from Director of Advertising and Sponsorship introducing S.O.S Earth and the benefit DiGi will get by becoming our main sponsor which include logo appearance in our publicity materials, credit-mentioned, Deep Green talk, Deep Green workshop and so on.

Follow up by Director of Programming (Exhibition) presenting about the five main elements in which we focus in our event (Forest, Land and Natural Resources, Ocean, River and Air) as well as the Deep Green exhibition booth in the hall.

Then, the Director of Programming (Activities) propose the idea of the launching ceremony whereby DiGi yellow man will walk from DK ABE to College Hall (in case you don’t know, DK ABE is near TARC hostel and is a long route) holding a pot of tree. This symbolizes DiGi is bringing their Green concept into TARC and educating everyone to preserve the environment.

Soon after the presentation was over, the negotiation stage begins (Pressure!).

Half way through the meeting, we changed the venue as that classroom will be occupied by other tutorial class. The change of venue seems to lessen up the tense within the room and everyone begin to loosen up a little. Just a little…

We move to the next room which is V103 and guess what? The table setting has change too.

Ms Lim, why so frustrated?

The meeting continues….

We are join by the Creative Agency (AAV2 students) after their class.

Creative Agency shows the TVC (Television Commercial) to the sponsor.

The Creative Agency personnel!!

The TVC managed to grab the attention of Ms Julia and leave a great impression on her. Thumbs up to the Agency!
What would be the outcome of the meeting? Will we succeed in getting DiGi as our main sponsor or the Advertising and Sponsorship has to continue to worry about the money issues?




We make the world we live in and shape our own environment.
