Help Wanted - The Marketing & Communications Committee needs YOU!

Calling all project managers, social media stars, thought leaders and writers! The Marketing & Communications Committee needs YOU! 

If you’re thinking that this article is for someone with more marketing experience than you, think again.  With guidance from your fellow committee members, co-chairs, and the MPI-CAC executive office, taking a position on the committee allows you to explore the world of event marketing in a safe, organized environment.  Build your resume as you guide committees through creating a strategic marketing plan, employ metrics to measure the success of various social media posts and campaigns or create and manage a yearly editorial calendar.   Study best practices at the monthly meetings and take them back to your company to boost your own event exposure and attendance. Comprised of three subcommittees – Marketing Liaisons, Social Media, and Conversations + Connections – there’s a place for everyone to grow their career and build their business on the Marketing & Communications Committee. 

Are you intrigued? Good! Now let’s break down these subcommittees to find your perfect fit!

Marketing Liaison Subcommittee

You create and execute complex, large-scale events every day by breaking down a big picture into small, manageable pieces.  Put your project management skills to use as a Marketing Liaison.  Your role would be to guide a committee through a structured project plan to help them create and execute their event marketing initiatives.  Instead of generating the entire marketing plan from scratch, you provide expertise on deadlines, available platforms, and processes and procedures.  And if you’d like to help create content, your committee will surely welcome your contributions! 

Social Media Subcommittee

Do you always find the best memes? Have you #nailedit recently with a particularly witty #tbt post? Have you cultivated your personal brand across your social media platforms? If that sounds like you, the Social Media Subcommittee is the place to be!  Use your mad skills to create fun, interactive posts to increase awareness, promote chapter events, and inspire conversation. As you help manage the chapter’s social media platforms, you’ll learn Hootsuite and how to employ metrics to measure the impact of various posts on boosting awareness and attendance. 

C+C Subcommittee

We know you have some great tips and tricks up your sleeve from your years in the events industry.  Put your unique insight to great use on the C+C Subcommittee managing the content provided to the C&C bi-weekly newsletter.  This newsletter, tailored to our very own chapter, presents event ideas, discussions and topics throughout the year, providing thought leadership for your peers and colleagues.  Being engaged with this subcommittee will help you stay on the forefront of event professional topics to help educate the chapter.

See something you like? We thought you might.  The Marketing & Communications Committee has numerous opportunities for you to be creative, have fun, meet fellow chapter members and grow your event skill set.
