Hey everyone,

I just have a few exciting announcements and new opportunities for the Wax on Felt marketing team.

FIrst of all, we will be meeting again this Wednesday at our normal time (9pm). Please try to make it, since we had such a light meeting last week.

Secondly, because the marketing team has so much to do, we thought it’d be a good idea to distribute some of the workload as much as possible. To do this, we are creating several new positions. Described below are the positions as well as a short description. If you are interested in any of them, please email me back as soon as possible so that we can setup a time to interview.

Vice President of Marketing – The VP of marketing will essentially run the marketing team with me. In specific, he/she will manage many of the day-to-day tasks of the department such as organizing the team for flyers, working on the execution of our strategic marketing plan, and have heavy input on how the department/marketing for Wax will grow in the next few years.

Public Relations Assistant – The PR assistant will help Laura, our current PR guru, with the distribution and creation of press releases. You’ll get to learn about how to write and send out press releases as well as be working on building our media contact list. You will have need to be “in the know” with everything that Wax on Felt is doing so that we can continue to expand as an organization. When Laura graduates this semester, you will replace her as the main PR representative this Spring.

Events – The president of our events committee, which will be a new subcommittee within Wax on Felt, will work on creating a group of Wax on Felt members to work on the planning and execution of wax on felt events. This includes making sure that our concerts are well marketed and attended. But, more specifically, the events team this semester will work on planning our Wax on Felt brand relaunching party at the end of the semester. The brand relaunching party is an event that Wax will be planning to formally announce our rebranding as an organization to the school (in short: free food and music for Emerson).

Also, I’d like to check in with those of you that expressed interest running specific duties at the beginning of the year… Below is a list of people that I have doing certain things. If any of you below can no longer do what you originally were interested in, please let me know ASAP so that we can find someone to fill your place. If you can, I’m so excited that we can finally get things started and in motion!
