There are two topics that I am interested in. The first being music. Ever since I was a kid, I lived and breathed music; I was always the girl that you would find with the headphones in and blaring. However, I am not too sure how I would go about reporting on this subject. One of my girlfriends interns at a PR firm, and has access to artists, but they are mainly new talent. This could be an option, in that I would help them put their name out there and help them gain more fame and recognition.
The second topic that I am interested in is restaurants, more specifically co-branding. I am the manager of a Quiznos that was recently bought out. The new owner is planning on creating a co-brand with a London based shop called Shake Away to compliment Quiznos. This is a new and interesting aspect to business. This would be a lot easier for me to focus on because I know several store owners who have bought out failing businesses and are looking for ways to boost sales. I can also speak to various corporate representatives to see and understand their view on the subject. There’s the new owner as well as his brothers, who have done their own versions of co-branding but in the different countries. This would work for international stories as well as local stories. It would also give me various opportunities to compare and contrast different stores and locations.
Although the second option seems the easiest, music has always been my passion. I think I would have more fun and be able to create more interesting products if I focused more on the music aspect rather than business.
