What does the comm do? (Publicity Secretaries)

Yep, that's me! :D (In case you haven't guessed...)

As you can probably infer from the name, Publicity Secretaries are in charge of publicity for GENUS - the ensemble and our performances.

What do the Publicity Secretaries do?

• Publicity Plans
• Co-ordinating school visits and networking with other guitar ensembles
• Website updates
• Newsletter / Blog / GENUS Calendar
• Publicity materials (Flyers, poster design and display)
• Welcome tea, Matriculation Fair
• Advertisement drafting (write up for concerts, concert synopsis)
• Programme booklet
• Facebook update of photos
• GENUS T-shirt

Publicity secretaries are responsible for GENUS' image as they are in charge of materials that the public see/read/receive about us. Unfortunately for them, their mistakes are highly visible. But this is minimized through vetting by CFA marketting department! (And of course, the fact that there are 4 pairs of eyes to check through the work helps too)

However, publicity is not an effort of the pub secs alone! Publicity Secretaries receive alot of help from the rest of the committee and GENUS when it comes to events matriculation fair, and publicising for concerts (like for calling/mailing publicity to schools, clubs and associations...)

Qualities that a good Publicity Secretary candidate should have:

• Eye for the aesthetics
• Creative :D and have some publicity ideas!
• Ability to stick to deadlines (V impt! If we're unable to meet printing deadlines, we would have any programme booklets D:)
• Good grasp of English (no need for super awesome vocabulary, but please be able to form varied sentence structures!)

The very same dinosaur who said that secretaries are the quietest in the comm had also argued that pub secs are always the loudest. I guess we're pretty visible coz we have to ask people to help us with publicity all the time! ^^

And that's it for now. Hope you have a better understanding of what the committee members do! :)
