Most people think I have one of the best jobs out there. In their minds, I go to exclusive events for a living, meet interesting people and have a lot of good connections. Part of this is true, but what a lot of people don't realize is that most days are spent in an office or hotel room in sweats working crazy hours. In other words people forget about all the behind the scenes work that goes into the final product.
This week team CMPR is in Dallas for the SuperBowl and this is how we spent most of the day Wednesday and Thursday. Eight of us cooped up in a hotel suite stuffing envelops, fielding calls and emails from media and celeb/athlete managers and publicists, going over staff lists and event day duties. This type of day is much more common than an event night. Don't get me wrong, I love my job and know I'm really lucky, but I just wish people understood all the work that goes into making these events appear seamless and glamorous.
