Backstory
Advance Accelerator is a student enterprise accelerator I co-founded and led in 2020. It ran for 2 years deploying valuable training and resources in order to sustain and educate a community of changemakers who strived to embrace change by tackling a social cause through their venture.
My role
Aside from curriculum planning, building a network of speakers & partners, events hosting and recruiting & managing 5 teams, I was also leading the branding and positioning of Advance in the entrepreneurial landscape at Warwick. Since this initiative was created in the midst of the pandemic, exceptional digital content was crucial. I proposed the vision for feel and look of the brand and supported the creation of posts.
