Marketing Officer (Volunteer Role)

The Collective on Anti-Racism (COAR) was nurtured on the stolen lands of Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country. We seek to curate anti-racist spaces in Canberra. We run a monthly anti-racist BIPOC-centred discussion group and hold small monthly community events for the BIPOC community. We also use our platforms to strengthen and celebrate the BIPOC communities in Canberra.

We are seeking a Marketing Officer (Volunteer Role) to join our Committee and lead the marketing of our events, and maintain and grow our social media presence.

COAR has a key ethos of sharing and centring the lived experiences of BIPOC people for the purposes of anti-racist learning. Our spaces follow our Principled Space Guidelines, which you can read here https://coarcbr.wixsite.com/coarcbr/our-principled-space-guidelines

The role of the Marketing Officer is as follows:

Event promotion:

• Promoting our monthly anti-racist discussion group, Roar with COAR, on COAR’s social media platforms (Instagram and Facebook). This includes making the event page on Facebook, MeetUp, Eventbrite, running the Eventbrite ads, promoting the Anti-Racist Syllabus across our social media platforms, and developing engaging posts/stories to encourage attendance.
• Promoting our monthly community events by making the event page on Facebook, MeetUp, Eventbrite, running the Eventbrite ads, and making promotional posts/stories on COAR’s social media platforms.
• Promoting the larger events that we host several times throughout the year by making the event page on Facebook, MeetUp, Eventbrite, running the Eventbrite ads, and making promotional posts/stories on COAR’s social media platforms.

• Keeping the Facebook group engaged by regularly making posts to increase engagement and discussion.

COAR has a Canva Pro subscription in which the Marketing Officer can use to develop social media graphics. We also have pre-existing social media graphic templates for our monthly events. Please find our existing social media pages with @coar.cbr.
