• Student Ambassador for Operation NOVA

  • Feb 2011 - Apr 2011

  I spearheaded the social media campaign to raise awareness of Operation NOVA - an operation ran by Lincolnshire Police that says 'No to Violence and Abuse'. The focus of March were drinking banning orders. I set up a Facebook group, Twitter account and ran a blog: http://operationnova.blogspot.com. I took the role of 'Sober Student' and didn't drink throughout March in order to raise awareness of the ability to go out without alcohol and still have a good time. I was interviewed on BBC Lincolnshire about the campaign. It was a fantastic project - integrating social media into an otherwise traditional marketing plan. Show less

  • Nov 2009 - Mar 2010

  I worked with a team of 7 - liaising with the editorial team and creating strategies to attract advertisers. This is something we had to work on from scratch as there has previously been no advertising in the publication. Pricing of advertising space and gaining advertisers were both parts of my role as well as making sure that my team gets results.
