As a part of the Events Management module for my course, a group of six individuals created an events management entity where we raised funds for St. Basils Charity, a Youth Homelessness organisation.
Our event was focused on showcasin
g the melting pot of cultures that is the City of Birmingham through Fashion, Music, Performance and Food. Each member was from different parts of the world, hence the “Mrs. Worldwide”.
Being the Marketing Manager, I took total control of the branding and promotion through Instagram. This included creating visuals and posters for Fundraising events, setting up Eventbrite pages for several events as well as the main event. Additionally, I spearheaded the communication between our Events group and the performers and societies involved in our event. I also managed to create a GoFundMe page where we raised £1,212.60 from family and friends donations for St. Basils Charity.
Due to COVID-19, we worked remotely and created a hypothetical but executable group report on the Event and its features as well as a presenting it through Microsoft Teams. I was in charge of the Group Report and refining its content.
