UoA MDC

This year, as a club, MDC has branched out from our usual content and started to partner with Kiwi brands 😻 This year, we have been lucky enough to film content for Moodi to expand our range of videos to include food and beverage content We are so excited to continue our partnership with Moodi for the summer, so keep your eyes peeled for our upcoming reels 👀 If you are looking for a new, exciting way to create content, why not partner with MDC for 2025 🤗 💌 outreach@uoamdc.org 

Our AGM was held on the 2nd of October, and we officially wrapped up MDC for 2024 🤗 We have no clue where the time has gone this year, but one thing is for certain - it has been the best year 🤩 Thank you to our amazing exec for everything you have done this year 💌

A little throwback to what has to be one of our favourite photos from the year 🥰 There is no better feeling in the world than planning an event, and the event itself turns out to be such a success 🤗 Thank you so much to ZEIL for letting our members spend a morning in your office! A big shout out to Amy Carstairs, our moderator, Jaco Coetsee, Kevin Ford, and Bree O'Leary for sharing your insights into the marketing world that awaits us 💌 And a further shoutout to Hunter Sutter & Mackenzie Roskruge for welcoming mdc with open arms 🫶 We can't wait for what 2025 has in store for us 👏

This is your sign to become a student ambassador with the Marketing Association 🫵 Three of our executives, Ashley Sng, Supitcha Sudtipunyo, and Isobel Green, were fortunate to be chosen as the student ambassadors for the 2024 brand summit that was held last Thursday 🤗 Our key takeaways from this event were:  ✨ The age of multiplayer brand is upon us - Zoe Scaman  ✨ Understanding the challenge that your brand faces and how to create a successful campaign - Leanne Too and Kelly Grindle   ✨ “I’m going to get fired” - How companies can become brave and let marketers lead organizations, and how marketers can be boldly confident in their craft - Annabel Fribence A personal highlight from all of us was hearing from Islam EIDessouky, Global VP Creative Strategy and content at Coca-Cola. We were able to watch a variety of campaigns that Coca-Cola has released in connection with their new six ‘foodmarks’ across the globe. If this is something that interests you, keep a look out for all the exciting opportunities and events that the Marketing Association has coming up Thank you again to the Marketing Association, Lone Tapp, and Danielle Chevriot for having us, and we cannot wait for our upcoming panel event on October 10th 😍

This morning, we hosted our last coffee club of the year (so sad, I know 😥), with our lovely co-presidents Isobel Green and Nitya Dwivedi sharing all their insights 🤗 This coffee club is a great chance for our members to learn more about our co-presidents and what they get up to leading MDC over the course of the year. Our members also had the chance to speak with Supitcha Sudtipunyo, our marketing director, and Amy Carstairs, our community events director ☀ This was a great opportunity for them to ask any burning questions they may have before our exec applications close 🙌 Thank you again to DAILY BREAD for hosting us!

On Thursday, we held one of our last coffee clubs for 2024! Where has the year gone…. When we heard Chanel Clark was going to be in New Zealand for a week, we knew that we had to get her to speak at our coffee club 🤸♀️ Chanel has greatly supported MDC over the past two years and helped facilitate our connection to the Marketing Club AU/NZ. It’s such an honor to have her come and share her insights into the marketing industry ⚡ One of our members shared that they were nervous about leaving university because they did not know which route they wanted to take. However, after listening to Chanel, “they felt relieved to know that it’s okay not to have everything figured out and to give everything a go!" A big shout out to Savoury Sweet for hosting this coffee club and to Otis Oat Milk for sponsoring us. Our members loved trying the oat milk 😍 Thank you so much to Chanel; we have missed you at our events and cannot wait to have you back at another one next year 🤗
