Welcome to our blog!

Hi Guys, welcome to our blog. We are competing in the GOOGLE ONLINE MARKETING CHALLENGE. Our client is the Shenton Park Dog's Home. The home is committed to rescuing abandoned, abused and neglected dogs, and finding them new adopting families. Our Team consists of Alastair (captain), Anastasia, and Diana. Read on to find out a little bit more about us, our challenge, and the refuge!

Saturday 27th March at the home






This morning I spent a few hours at the refuge walking dogs and spending some time with Karen (president) talking about our campaign. A few things mentioned will lead me to make a few different suggestions as to how our campaign will run. Posted are a few dogs I got to spend time with this morning. Little Nuppy (grey dog looking up) is three months old. Floyd ( little kelpie on all four legs) is an energetic Kelpie- X. Once he has a ball that is the end of him. He won't even stop for treat!! Little Maggy (fluffy white dog)love his hair over his eyes, and gets over excitied when he knows he is going out for a walk. Little Prissy (dark puppy) is 8 weeks old, and as we put him back, he had a family looking at him, so hopefully when we venture there next week, he has gone to a loving home. Sharelle (border collie in kennel) is a beautiful young border collie. She is one of my favourites, and has the characteristics of a working dog.

A little about me

I am the team leader for this campaign. I am a second year undergraduate studying Marketing, Advertising and Public Relations at Edith Cowan University in Perth. I am 23 years old and hope to work in the Advertising industry once I graduate. I chose to compete in the Google challenge as I enjoy a challenge, and when it is a real life scenario, it brings the best out in me.

I am a volunteer at the dogs home. Volunteers perform various duties at the home, but at the moment I am just dog walking. The dogs love seeing the volunteers down there spending time with them as for most of the day, they are locked up in a concrete kennel. If you are interested in volunteering, visit the web site or contact me via email!

Anastasia and Diana will tell you a little about themselves soon.

Pre-campaign

With our Pre-campaign almost complete, the real work begins. We have decided to run three campaigns. A dog adpotion campaign, a volunteer campaign, and a dog kenneling/boarding campaign.
So far it has been a great effort by my team, and after each meeting, we understand the challenge more and more, and gain confidence in ourselves and each other. I will snap some photos this weekend at the dogs home and post them to show you some of the guests that currently occupy the home!
