My Day

7.30am: My day starts earlier than I’d like it to. I turn to Twitter for a bite-size update of the world, followed by my work phone for any company news. I get into my Volkswagen Up (best present to myself ever!) and turn the volume to 11, as Nick Grimshaw eases me in to the day. I’m so glad I no longer use the train.

9.00am: We go through the papers dissecting stories and noting any trends or opportunities. This is followed by our daily round-up of the press coverage, which ranges from our new Ibiza service in Metro, to a review of the London City service online, to our Visit Britain partnership in Travel News Asia.

10.00am: My first meeting of the day – a conference call with our partner BAFTA. We catch up about the forthcoming awards and PR opportunities on the horizon.

11.00am: I usually spend the morning drafting press releases and plans. Today I attempt to come up with a punchy headline about working with One Direction, when our grad comes up with a funnier line than me. I put it down to him being a secret fan.

12.30pm: Lunchtime. I tend to combine eating with checking ba.com for holiday inspiration. One of the perks of the job is that I can legitimately look at holidays, and this year Barbados is top of my list! I’ll usually look at our Twitterfall around this time, a useful barometer of what people are saying in real time.

2.00pm: Nick, our resident photographer comes over with some beautiful shots he took over the Olympics, we pick out the best ones for an awards entry.

2.30pm: Pop downstairs to the BA Museum to dig out menus and uniforms from the 1980s for Comic Relief’s 25^th anniversary. I’m amused that even cabin crew were power dressing in the 80s.

4.00pm: Jemma, from our charity partner Comic Relief, calls to update me on celebrities for a forthcoming UK project visit we’re doing. The project is just 20 miles from our office and a humbling reminder of how well the money is spent at home, as well as abroad.

5.30pm: As I start to wind down, a couple of emails trickle in from America, just waking up. My day is brightened as the wonderful Aria Hotel confirms our stay for a forthcoming trip to Las Vegas.

7.00pm: I meet my husband in Richmond for dinner. We discover a basement bar that sells lots of red wine and meat #Happiness!

10.30pm: A cursory glance of the Mail Online and Twitter completes my fix for the day.
