Week 9b: CRISIS AND NEW BRIEF

 Dear Journal,

Week 9 has been a dramatic week. We got an email from Chanda that he had a meeting with AFC about the incident and the way forward. He informed us that Talia will meet with us on Friday at the usual weekly client meeting.

We asked Sooraj to draft an apology mail which he did after so many follow-ups. He sent the email to Talia after one or two contributions from me and Swetha.

We were all eager about the Friday meeting. The meeting started with Talia saying that the modus operandi has changed and that we would need to suspend all social media activities because it requires so much of her attention and time and she is too busy for that. We tried to convince her but she was determined.

She told us the new task which is to look for models for the 'Hero-Image Campaign' and photography for the website. We were all disappointed because we were not expecting this new direction from the organisation. We explained the challenges we encountered while sourcing for models for the mother's day video. She insisted that was the task that AFC has for us and we must do it. She indicated that financial incentive will be the last resort for engaging models.

We then asked her for mood boards and the scripts which will guide us while sourcing for models. She also promised to send us Identification Cards so that we can identify ourselves as working on behalf of AFC.

I am particularly unhappy because Sooraj dragged us into this mess! It is very annoying not to be able to practise what we were thought.

We intend to discuss the new task with Chanda. 

Fingers crossed...
