Worked as part of the Students' Union Events department to deliver a programme of events for the University of Sussex Freshers Week 2015. As a newly formed team, we had just three months to plan, organise and deliver a calendar of events that takes the diversity of the student body into account - including non-alcoholic events, live music events, cultural celebrations, a festival-style welcome party, a 3000-capacity pier party, three bar crawls, and a large-scale fireworks display.
The week was, commercially, the most successful yet. Ticket sales improved on last year by around £20,000, with attendance to all of our main events exceeding 1000.
