my first week...

so i've been asked several several times this week how my week is going at my new job so i'm finally posting about it! for those of you who might not know, i started as marketing coordinator at big machine records (home to taylor swift, trisha yearwood, jack ingram, danielle peck, sunny sweeney and fisher stevenson) and the valory music company (home to jewel, jimmy wayne and justin moore) on monday. 

my first week was awesome! there is a whole...WHOLE...lot to take in but i am doing the best i can to jump in, ask questions and take it one step at a time. as marketing coordinator i will pretty much be assisting the web manager, justin, and the vp of sales & marketing, kelly. so i will be doing anything from ad design, myspace and online stuff, working up reports, etc. to help get those things off of their desks so they can focus on other things.

everyone at big machine and valory work really really hard but they also have fun perks! thursday night jojamie (a really good friend who works at valory) had to work a jewel show at the stage in nashville so whitney and i got to go. it was my first show as a big machine/valory employee so that was neat! justin also went to record the show and some behind-the-scene stuff so i got to see how he did that too. here we are before the show.

jewel did an A-MAZING show! it was just acoustic and for about 100 people and that is the perfect setting for her. we had a great time. then on friday, jewel came by the office and i got to meet her! it was really cool. she was as nice as can be and really really funny. here is the behind-the-scenes video that justin shot. you can see jewel's personality and quick wit in it for sure. :)  oh and that "el patron" guy (jon) worked with whitney and jo at broken bow. 

so it was a great first week and it's going to get more and more busy i'm sure and i am really looking forward to learning more about this business! :)
