April 2020

Being a active member of my music association sometimes brings interesting challenges and experiences. One example of this is the creation of our event The Night of Music, an unique festival to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the association. A special (steering) committee and multiple subcommittees were created to plan and organize this huge event. I was asked to be in this committee, and the furthermore be chairman of the subcommittee PR & Sponsoring.

PR & Sponsoring

The subcommittee was responsible for:

  • Public relations
    • Social Media
    • Local media (papers/tv)
    • General advertisement
    • Website
    • Posters/flyers
  • Sponsoring
    • Set up sponsor framework
    • Create sponsor book
    • Get sponsors/sponsor deals
    • Event flyer
    • Other sponsor outings (flags/banners)
  • Internal communication
    • Monthly updates to participants
    • Meetings with core members

Steering committee

Of course the main committee bore responsibility for the whole project, but its members also had some roles and assignments surpassing the subjects of their respective subcommittees. For me this included:

  • Layout and design of festival terrain
  • General input stage design
  • Main coordination during event
  • Entrance and Payments
