Juice Digital, Making you Digitally Famous

This is Tina Jagla’s first blog at Juice and I am posting it for her on this occasion. Next week, she will have her own login and will be encouraged to post some more blogs.

“I am Tina, postgraduate student in International Creative Advertising at Manchester Metropolitan University, the newest entrant at Juice Digital.  I am on a three months placement while writing my Master’s Dissertation about Social Media Marketing.

Being an international student from Germany and having lived in Manchester since last September, I experience some similarities but also a lot of differences between the two countries.

There are some obvious examples like the hardly comprehensible English fondness of queues but also some things I realized much later, for example that social networks such as Facebook and Twitter and even the Internet in general are more popular here than back home. Working at Juice therefore is a great opportunity for me to learn about the many possibilities to use Social Media and other digital marketing techniques

The first days are always a big getting to know people and lots of confusion about almost everything, but everyone in the agency is very nice and helpful. Yesterday we were mostly working on my access to the several programs I am going to use when working on blogs, websites and other communication tools.

Today I got showered with information about search engine optimisation, Digital PR and the like. It will get some getting used to, but soon I will be involved in some of the actual projects of Juice.

This blog is a starting point and I have also done some research on social media demographics in the UK for MD Steve Downes, who will take part in a panel about Social Media Marketing in Manchester tonight. Not an easy task, I can tell you.

Wish me luck.”
