Marketing and Advertising Society: Welfare Officer

Hi everyone! Marketing and advertising are all about connection, but behind the campaigns and visuals, there’s something even more important: people. I’m standing for Welfare Officer because I believe our society’s strength comes when every member feels supported, seen and able to bring their best self to the creative table.

I study Social Sciences and Data Science, and this unique blend gives me the tools to understand human behaviour and the analytics to design support systems that actually work. Beyond this, I’ve personally been in therapy for a substantial time, and that journey has given me insight into resilience and the meaning of real support, so I’m passionate about making sure no one has to stay in silence.

If elected, I will:

• Introduce ‘Creative Minds’ lounge sessions where society members can come together informally to decompress, share pressures, network and support each other.
• Launch a peer-buddy scheme matching newer members with those who’ve been through the same challenges, so everyone feels part of a network from day one.
• Ensure we build a society culture where taking care of your well-being is part of our creative process, not something extra.

I’m not just running because I care, but because I have the lived experience, the analytical mindset and the leadership background to make welfare real and reachable. Choose me if you want a Welfare Officer who will listen and act, who will remember that behind every strong campaign is a strong person.

Hi, I’m Shania! 👋

Super excited to (hopefully) be your Welfare Officer! :D

The Marketing Society isn’t just about campaigns, talks and workshops; it’s also about making sure everyone feels supported, heard, and part of this community. I’m all for creating that kind of environment 🙌

From regular welfare check-ins to hosting social events, I’ve got plenty of ideas to make the society more lively, welcoming, and a place where we can all thrive together. All while keeping it marketing-focused, so you’ll get a balanced mix of serious and chill activities! Think game nights, CYO campaign challenges or coffee meet-ups - just some ideas I’d love to explore with the team 👀

Let’s make this year unforgettable, with great vibes, strong connections, and a society that truly “markets” the best of teamwork, community and fun!
