| We're shortlisted for two PRide awards |
So I’m excited to tell you we’ve been shortlisted for two
PRide awards this year; one for best integrated campaign and one for best low
budget campaign. The low budget campaign award entry is for our September open
day campaign which I created and implemented so it’s really nice that my
efforts have resulted in an award entry for the team. And of course my
marketing colleagues, as well as other MARC teams, did help me implement the
plans so I can’t take all of the credit. The team are really pleased and we
have our fingers crossed that we can walk away with another award to add to the
two PRide awards we won last year. The ‘do is on 1st October, so
we’ll be sure to let you know the outcome. I attended the awards ceremony last
year, which was my first since working at the University, and it was a really
fun night. Last year there was a welcome drink and canapés before the awards
ceremony, but this year it’s a sit down 3 course meal followed by the awards
ceremony, so I’m looking forward to attending again. It’s great to be
shortlisted and it’s a nice night for the team to relax and revel in some of
our successes, even if we don’t come away with an award.
Open day season is back
I can’t believe I’m saying this (or typing it!) but open days
are back. Doesn’t time just fly when you’re…busy!
Our next open day is on 23 September; I have my plan
at the ready and its full steam ahead. I’ve actually planned the full winter season
of open days, so all activity up until December, which is a little scary!
So far I’ve created a web banner and I’m currently working
with one of our freelance designers to create two external banners. The
activity will start next week, so you’ll start to see our open day messaging
appear on our homepage, social media and other platforms as we work our way
through the plans.
Helping with recruitment collateral
I’ve also been helping out with recruitment support; I’ve created
clearing posters, with more to follow in the next week, and I’m updating our
school and college liaison guide. The guide has had a few big changes this
year, so I’ve spent quite a lot of time on this, but it’s looking really nice
and I’m ahead of schedule which I always like!
Evaluations
An old favourite and something I always mention- evaluations.
I finished my first open day report for the 2015 cycle ‘enquirer’ events (which
was used as a basis for the PRide awards entry, as it identified the success
of the September open day in particular). I’m now working on a similar report
for the 2015 cycle ‘applicant’ events. Let’s see if I can identify another
award opportunity.

It’s just dawned on me that I have three weddings to
attend in the next seven weeks- crikey!! The first is up
North and I’m bridesmaid for an old friend so I’m super excited. The other two
are local, and again I’m looking forward to celebrating those as well. I’ll try
not to make my next blog about weddings.
Speak soon,
