WEEK'S SUMMARY OF ACTIVITIES:
This week was a short week because of the 4th of July holiday. I continued to archive and organized certain projects, as well as sort through American Made Nominations. Kevin was away this week, so there were not a lot of new, exciting projects to help with. Most of the tasks I was completing were related to things I’ve been working on over the past few weeks. This week the interns all went to a New York Mets game, against the Chicago Bears. Working at such a large company with a big name has a lot of perks!
The month of July should be interesting, because I will be organizing and attending a lot of Fall photo shoots.
WEEK'S FOCUS:
Everything at Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, Inc. is done in house (aside from actually printing the magazine and some of the photo shoots). As far a project costs, fees and budget management there is a team of people who are in charge of handling this. Since the company has been around for so long, and it is very well established there is an estimated cost for each project that is allotted. However, like I mentioned in my write up from last week, everything is subject to change once the company is acquired fully.
MEETING SOMEONE NEW:
Kevin Sharkey is my supervisor. He is Senior Vice President, Executive Editorial Director, Decorating & Creative Director, and Merchandise Director. He is the head of three departments, so I am very lucky to work for him. He is an extremely busy man, always having meetings as well as attending them. Kevin is Martha’s right hand man, so she is always around his office and vise versa. Kevin is the final say on most things, right before it goes to Martha for her final approval. They are also best friends outside of work and often go on trips together to The Hamptons and other places.
Kevin came to MSLO in 1995 from another interior design firm. He graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in Architecture. He is truly a creative expert.
Also his Instagram is very cool. He is currently on vacation on the coast of Italy, so he’ll probably be posting lots of pictures. https://instagram.com/seenbysharkey/
