Social Media Campaigns
While working as Social Media Coordinator at the University of Surrey, I was tasked with devising a memorable April Fools’ Day campaign across all social media platforms. I redesigned the University's iconic golden stag logo to be a golden goose instead, jokingly linked to the fact that Surrey has a large goose population on campus.
When the logo was changed on 1st April, students along with staff members and international collaborators believed that this was a real rebrand; the stag logo was reinstated at the traditional 12pm. For this project I won a company-wide award in my first month employed at the company.
