2. Meeting with the team

En este diálogo tenemos más personajes, ya que es una reunión grupal donde cada miembro del equipo comenta lo que hizo la semana pasada y cuáles serán sus tareas de esta semana.

‍

A: Hi everyone, how is it going? I hope you had a nice weekend. Today we’ll talk about this week's tasks, but first I want you to tell me what you did last week, what advances you made in the project and if you had any trouble with your work. Charlie, do you want to start? 

B: Sure, hi guys, nice to see you all. Well, last week I worked on the new design for the website. I chose a new color palette based on our brand, but I also added some new tones that could give it an interesting look. Based on that I defined a new structure with new content and images. The wireframe is ready, so the next step is to establish the final designs, get some feedback and start working on it. 

A: That’s great! I’ll schedule a meeting so we can review the wireframe. How about you Joanne, how was your week?

C: Hi guys, well, last week we launched the Christmas campaign on social media, so now we are measuring the results and keeping an eye on the metrics. For this week I scheduled some content for the blog that aligns with the campaign so we can be present everywhere as a brand. 

A: Amazing, thank you Joanne. John, do you want to go next?

D: Sure, hi guys. Well, last week the design team was focused on the Christmas campaign graphics. I worked on the website banners and some Instagram posts and they were all delivered on time. This week I’ll be working on more Instagram content and also on the graphics for the New Year’s campaign. 

A: Great, thank you John. I’ll schedule a meeting this week so we can review the Christmas campaign results and check what we have for the New Year. Remember that our goal is to get a million sales, so hopefully we’ll make it this year. There also will be a meeting with the Commercial team, so they can give us some feedback and insights about the campaign. Is there anything else you want to add?

C: After the New Year’s campaign we’ll start with the Valentine’s Day offers, right?

A: Exactly, that is another important date for us, so we have to organize everything with time. 

C: Okay, thanks. 

A: Is there anything else? Ok, thank you for your time, I’ll see you around and remember that you can send me an email if you need anything. 

B: Thanks, see you!
