I was by no means 'good' but as presentations go I was quite ok at it! I do really think my public speaking skills are improving as I do more- I'm less shaky and forget less words- but I don't think I'll ever by any means enjoy them. Jack wasn't able to make it to the presentation so we gave the finance speech in his absence. I'm not sure we got as much detail as we should have done, or he would have, as the finance was none of ours' strengths but we were very thankful to have his script and information there for us to use!
Strengths:
- the visuals of the presentation nicely matched the aesthetic of our publication
- I think we managed to give it a level of humour to match Sad Mag but also keep it dry enough to be a presentation about the business itself
- Sad Mag is very much about its ethos and it needs to be carefully handled. I think we discussed this enough in our presentation, particularly in the manifesto and "what are we about" slides.
- Sad Mag itself is a viable and unique business opportunity
Weaknesses:
- We very almost forgot to talk about the 'USP' of Sad Mag so I improvised it on the day, so I'm not sure it came across as clearly as it could have been. I feel very foolish that I forgot about it as surely it is the biggest part of creating a business, and why we wanted to create Sad Mag so much!
- I wonder if we should have explained the content more, and if it was understandable to the audience what Sad Mag would actually be. We discussed the ethos a lot (which is important) but maybe not so much of the content. Perhaps we should have mocked up an actual article?
All in all it's been a very fun project and I'm beginning to see how PPP can really be beneficial. Sad Mag has been a great experience and I would really like to see this idea come to fruition, even if it's on a smaller scale.
