The day started at 10am as it was my induction day- so luckily due to it being later it wasn't that busy on the tubes or getting across London - tottering in my suit across London - was as exciting as ever. Westminster hadn't changed at all apart from the campers and protesters outside Westminster trying to stop the war.
When I arrived it was forms and admin as normal and waiting to be placed in a team and ready to start work. Lewis PR is broken up into different teams within the office due to the different clients each of the teams have.
I was on Clapham team - with my clients being Energyhelpline, F-secure, MephasiS, Salesforce and Venda. 
Within the office there were PR teams - i.e. Clapham, Knightbridge, Angel etc then Octane - which had different clients, Consumer team and lastly new business that were the sole of the business, they were reponsible for finding new clients, wooing them and retaining the clients.
I had to complete many tasks throughout today - my first task was to update the entire journalist database for F-secure using Gorkana - which is an online database of contacts for journalists as well as updating the journalist database for MephasiS.
Following on from this Tara from the Knightsbridge team assigned me a task for their client Emprise. Emprise is a cleaning and security company, for this task I had to research all relevant articles which would be useful for Emprise for the month of May. Today tasks were pretty easy - but time consuming - from tomorrow it is the start of the rest of my internship getting in at 8.30 to read the papers and discuss relevant stories until 5.30 - 9hrs and not being paid it is a hard life, but I really enjoy it.
