I’ve been lucky enough to spend the last week rushing around
London and running errands for the Debenhams Press Office team once again.
Leading up to the busy period of Spring/Summer Press shows and the launch of
the new flagship store on Oxford Street, the Press team needed some extra help,
and I’m pretty fortunate to have been top of their list.
Working with the Debenhams Press Office team is always a
pleasure, and every time I learn more about the industry, the company, and PR
in general.
Being an intern, I get to experience the many benefits that
come from working in the Press Office and being involved in all areas of the
company, it’s always something different.
I sat in on a beauty talk by a brand that will be new to the Debenhams
portfolio and was sent home with a bag full of freebies- who doesn’t love a
freebie! And darted across London from the head office to the flagship store,
helping out with events, in-store promotions and picking up items for
photoshoots and gifting.
At the end of the week, I was so glad to have even got the
opportunity to go back and help, but like that wasn’t enough, I also received a
pretty special thank you gift from the Press Office team…
It was good timing that the Oxford Street Christmas Lights
switch on, was on at the same time so they gave me two VIP tickets to watch the
lights being turned on. It topped off such a fun week, the lights were amazing and
it added a touch of Christmas spirit to my mood before I had the reality of
deadlines and work that hit me when I went back to uni. The event and getting
to watch Jessie J, Connor Maynard and James Arthur perform ended the already
amazing week on such a high.

Freebies, VIP tickets to events, and non-stop travelling
around London… I could get used to the life of a Press Office girl.
