For some fantastic photography, congratulations to team La Trobe (VIC)!
Winners, games, people clamouring for the stall: yay!
Team Uni Melb (VIC) wowed with their weekly highlight:
"After much preparation and organisation for our O-Week stall, the day soon arrived and we were EXCITED! Our "Big Ideas for 2013" board attracted long lines as students were eager to put their goals and aspirations on display, not leaving empty-handed of course! It was fascinating to observe the widespread collection of ideas, saving the world, pre-reading university material and being happy, to name a few. For larger giveaways, students showed us their 'check-ins' on Facebook and 'Like' of the Officeworks page. Our whiteboard advertised our three limbo times and the major prizes during peak hours of traffic, the final game being a mystery prize to arouse curiosity and interest.
Each limbo competition proved to be a huge success. It appealed to those not only participating but others who wanted to be a part of the atmosphere. With the music pumping, it created buzz on the South Lawn as people swarmed over to get their groove on. Competing stalls nearby joined in and a photographer from the Student Union was present at each game capturing the moment. As the line wilted to the champions, we were shocked at the talent displayed at Melbourne University. Some students reaching as low as 60cms! It was a truly spectacular form of the human species at work.
Nonetheless, after spreading the O-Week spirit on campus with body paint and blue hairspray whilst simultaneously informing the services provided at Officeworks and the closest stores, our job was done for the week. Exhausted, battered and run-down but with very big smiles on our faces - we had a fantastic time! It was satisfying to hear the positive feedback from others. In particular, the manager of NAB was 'raving about our setup' and the girls from CommBank congratulated us on our marketing efforts in generating a crowd."
The happy team!
And for this week's campaign management bonus, we have team Uni SA.
The team kept me updated, were organised and energetic to face the week. Each day I got an sms that all was going okay, and got to hear about their activities that made them one of the places to be on campus. The team had a peculiar stall position, but they made it work, with balloons, posters, and decorations galore. And as you can see, they drew the crowds in! Congratulations guys!
So a big well done, not only to our bonus-getting teams here, but to all the teams who did seriously wonderful stuff last week. I had a very hard time attempting to pick just three, believe me when I say it was so close between all of you.
Stay tuned for some honourable mentions, of fantastic teams and stalls that happened all around the country last week, and for the ones yet to happen this week!
