Marketing, Communications & Bars Focus Groups
Communication Monitors
Be a Communication Monitor (like a Secret Shopper!)
Get assigned to something in the Union, then email your thoughts about how this is
communicated throughout the year, as you experience it. Your comments will stay
anonymous – but we will look at and consider them carefully.
You will be assigned areas to feedback over the year – like our entertainment, Elections,
Surveys, Sports, our leaflets, website or allocated an SU Officer to “follow”.
You could also be part of a Marketing and Communications Focus Group, which will
meet.
Great for your CV as marketing and communications is core to any organisation.
