A Record-Breaking Year for the DEM Association! 📈 A year ago, I stepped into the role of Marketing Director at DEM Association with one major goal in mind: to humanize DEMA. Previously, DEMA was perceived as too formal, too stiff, and too distant, which made it difficult for students to feel connected to their club. Today, I am proud to say that DEMA’s Marketing team's extraordinary efforts have not only shattered our annual goals but also set a new benchmark for what's possible in academic clubs. Our clubs has been recognized by the University of Toronto Mississauga Students Union as Club of The Year! 🏆 📊 Check out the [FULL] DEMA 2023/2024 Marketing Report and learn about our strategies and achievements here: https://lnkd.in/gwCxwrkE 🔗 Get access to the Notion Social Media Planner that made it all happen: https://lnkd.in/gFzkDGUy 
I’m so deeply thankful for the amazing efforts of my Marketing & Creative team — Jannine Uy, Sarah Nasser, Rania Nasser, Calista Winsu. Special thanks to our brilliant Media Productions Director, Cheng (Tina) Cheng. To Kensho Ando Heng, Hamna Shami, and Sydney Fan – Your dedication and vision have been pivotal to our achievements, and it's been inspiring to see how each of you has steered our club towards success.
