Sophia Marmion

Hey everyone, my name is Sophia and I’m very excited to run for Head of Outreach at BBI!

Outreach is about visibility, connection and consistency. In this position I will work to ensure the projects BBI produces don’t just exist within our research sub-groups, but that they are seen and engaged with by peers at UCL and beyond. The first steps for this are ensuring that we develop strong connections with other student networks on campus and that our social media presence is very strong:

As Social Secretary for UCL’s largest student publication this past year, I planned large-scale events and coordinated with multiple societies to expand our reach. I'm no stranger to social media managment, either! In high school, I increased our long-established student newspaper’s Instagram following by about 25% over two years. I did this by creating more visually distinctive content, introducing short-form content and refining graphics to be sharper and more cohesive. (Canva is also a very important creative outlet for me -- trust I know my way around her!!)

As Head of Outreach, I will prioritise consistent and engaging publicity materials to broaden our audience, while making use of connections to develop collaborations across and beyond campus. Put your trust in me to bring intentionality to our outreach strategy, without making it feel impersonal :)
