Ramble and the social media world!

Today myself and the other intern Rhian had a meeting with the marketing manager Anthea. We arrived at 9am and spoke and exchanged ideas for an hour.

Within our conversation and idea exchange we came up with new ideas for ramble regarding social media.

first we got all access to the Ramble facebook site, twitter and we are going to make a new instagram account which we are both looking forward to managing.

below I will highlight some of the main ideas that we have come up with for each social media outlet.

FACEBOOK:

• ·      Competition: we decided to run a competition, where one lucky person will win a trip away to Margaret River for 3 nights. To be eligible to win, people need to like the ramble page and share the photo we provide to be in the chance to win. Announcement of the winner will be on th e19^th of September.
• ·      Work with instagram, what is posted on instagram will be posted on facebook also.
• ·      Post videos of Curtin students signing up for the Ramble/ talking about what they think the Ramble is about.

TWITTER:

·      With twitter we decided to:

o   Advertise the event

o   Use quotes every week; it can be funny, inspirational or health. This helps the Rambles awareness.

o   Using past photos of Ramble therefore, people can see how much fun it is and get a bit of a better idea of what is involved.

INSTAGRAM:

o   The main idea for instagram is to post pictures of UNI students and their involvement with ramble.

o   A countdown until the ramble event (this could be done weekly)

o   Memes – funny and fun.

I am so excited to be able to help manage the social media, I really hope we can make it successful and get the word out for such a worthy charity!

until next time…

Enjoy your day!

Ready Set…. RAMBLE!

I am very excited to be starting at my internship with a non for profit organisation called the 'Rotary club' who every year do a fundraiser called 'Ramble'. Ramble is a charity that is run every year in October, with a mix of the amazing race and treasure hunt, teams are formed and the aim of the game is to answer questions while trying to find clues around Perth CBD. The fundraiser goes to telethon and other very meaningful charities.

Yesterday i Had the pleasure of meeting some of the people from the Ramble organisation. Myself and Rhian who is also doing the internship with me, got to sit and discuses how we were going make ramble more appealing to students at Curtin University and the general public. It was such a great feeling as i felt like i was part of the team, throwing ideas and answering questions, it made me have a fresh air of motivation to help this organisation really shine to its full potential.

The meeting duration went for 1 and a half hours, within that time Rhian and I gathered some great ideas and suggestions to start working on. We will be meeting tomorrow (30th August) to come up with a timeline and start planing how and what we are going to do to create awareness around Curtin students.

Next week we will be going to another meeting where we will be meeting other people that are also involved with Ramble. We will also be presenting what we have discussed and what moves we are going to do for the Ramble.

Stay tuned, very exciting stuff are coming up!
