CAMPAIGN SPOTLIGHT
Describe a campaign you were involved in and the activities you performed to bring it about. What made it exciting?
My final campaign for my apprenticeship. This campaign was to launch a new memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas, Staffordshire, dedicated to journalists that have been killed on the frontline. I was heavily involved in this project, and helped to find stakeholder contacts, steering group members, and also planned all of the internal meetings.
