Intro

The PromoCie of STORM is the committee that creates and keeps inventory of all promotional material for the association. Committees of STORM make request to the PromoCie for promotional material for events or other occasions. This can be, but not restricted to, design of a poster for an event from a committee of STORM, making pictures during such an event and sharing them after on for example Facebook and Instagram.

Currently, the PromoCie is split into 3 groups with different tasks, according to the goal of the committee, namely:

• Graphical Designers
• Photographers
• Social Media Managers

The committee consists of these 3 groups, the board of the committee and the liaison of the Board of STORM.

Graphical Designers

Graphical design is a big part of the PromoCie. Committees can send a request for promotional posters to the PromoCie for an event they are organizing. They send the details of the PromoCie, on which one member of the Graphical Designer group takes on the design of the poster. The poster is made into a Photoshop program like Adobe Photoshop, or the more commonly used free online browser version Photopea An introduction to Photoshop on Photopea on YoutTube can be found here. On the Google Drive of the PromoCie are several templates for STORM images already available to use in the creation of the posters. When the poster is completed, the Photoshop-file (.psd) and either the JPG or the PNG-files (.jpg or .png) are uploaded on the PromoCie Google Drive. The poster is then printed out and distributed into the StoKa, on bulliton board near the StoKa and at the Board Room.

Photographers

At the end of 2019, the PromoCie decided to buy a camera for taking photos at events of STORM. For each event of STORM, the PromoCie has one or two representatives at the event to take photos. They are responsible for the camera and for taking some nice pictures of the event. After the event, they put the pictures on the special section in the Google Drive dedicated to pictures of the events of STORM. By making pictures, the PromoCie can share how exciting the events were to its members and ofcourse to relive for the members that were at the event.

Social Media Managers

STORM has several external media resources

1. The Facebook Page/Story
2. The Facebook Group
3. The Instagram Page/Story
4. The STORM TV in the StoKa
5. The website of STORM
6. The STORM webshop
7. The mailinglist from the Board
8. This GitHub STORM wiki

The resources 1 to 4 are under the control of the PromoCie. The Social Media Managers make sure that all promotion material is communicated to the followers/members through these resources. This means that the Social Media manager have editorial rights on the Facebook Page, Group and Instagram Page. They make the Facebook events for the page with the correct information on it and include the poster made for the event by the Graphical Designers. Inviting members and sharing the event with the Facebook group reaches more members, as corresponds to creating a post for the Story of the Facebook Page and the Instagram Page. The Social Media Managers are connected with the STORMapp on the STORM-TV in the StoKa. On the special site they are connected to they simply drag-and-drop the promotional material, which is then shown on STORM-TV.
