Marketing

Marketing operates primarily pre-con, from the moment the dates of the con are announced up to through first day of con (although work is done during the convention as well). The department exists to promote the convention and draw in attendees or guests (mostly attendees). There are a number of ways this can be done; through Social Media, via the Press, with Con Outreach and Club Outreach, via Philanthropy, and by approaching people about Sponsorship. It is important, when applying to become a member of the Marketing team, that you determine where your strengths lay and apply for the correct sub-department.
