Report ON Marketing/Communication

An assistant to the Marketing/Communication Director and was involved in a very
extensive public awareness campaign which required a lot of hands on work on her part.
Additionally, the communications department seemed at odds with other parts of the
organisation, and other departmental managers often were putting demands on this
supervisor as well. Her lack of time resulted in her being a poor communicator, and even
though this volunteer’s skills could have helped ease her work load, she couldn’t slow
down enough to implement a concrete communications strategy.
Skills The writer of this case study looks to Carter McNamara’s Basics in Internal
Organisational Communications (McNamara, 2007) who suggests a communication plan.
This plan can involve verbal or written communications that would cover how to
effectively manage a non-traditional volunteer. As cited earlier, this supervisor dealt
mostly with people with specific tasks, not project skills, and therefore did not need a
one-on one short session with them during their volunteer time. They also had the value
of communication with one another to help them out when they ran into a specific
problem.Values The value of the frustrated volunteer was the desire to create some quality work and be

impress her managers. The values of the volunteer and supervisor were not mutual. If the
goals had been mutual, it might have created an environment that would have made it
more conducive for the supervisor to take the time to communicate special volunteer
projects of value. It’s rather ironic that during the initial volunteer meeting, how the
writer of this paper could assist the cause was a major point of discussion. This paper
does acknowledge that as with many political activists’ organisations, things happen on
