making kcl radio look as good as it sounds!
heyyyy! i’m claudia, a 2nd year social sciences student! when i’m not reading all about policy, culture and everything else in between, you can catch me co-hosting The Underground Hour (thursdays 6-7pm, shameless promo). despite only starting the show at the end of january, radio has easily become my highlight of every week.
with an average screen time of around 6 hours a week spent on adobe indesign and photoshop, i LOVE experimenting and playing around with different styles to curate a strong identity for my radio show. this is something i would be grateful to bring to the KCL Radio socials to ensure we have the largest reach not only on but off campus as well!!
student radio is such a creative and fun space for students. there are already so many amazing shows, great presenters and fun moments that deserve recognition and celebration (such as shows charting on mixcloud, presenters highlighting new music from in and around the university etc etc). i want to help shine a huge spotlight on all of that and make sure the media side of the society feels JUST as lively and engaging as what’s happening on air!
if elected, i would love to focus on:
★ promoting shows more often and more creatively ★
i want to make sure every single show gets the attention it deserves, not just occasionally but consistently. this could manifest in show clips, regular highlights and posts that give listeners and followers a real sense of what the show is about! (working closely with presenters and their own accounts <3) i would love to experiment with things like short form interview content and fun behind the scenes content so people can really get to know our talented presenters!
★ making social media something people ACTUALLY enjoy ★
i love using social media! (graduated with first class honours from instagram story university) i think it should feel fun, relaxed and reflective of the stations already super cool personality and vibe. (making kcl radio look as good as it sounds ;)) i would love to not only expand the use of the current instagram page but also branch out into other platforms such as TikTok to reach wider audiences across the university and beyond! (p.s. sorry to my cohost who i make do a tiktok dance everytime we record our show <3)
★ keeping our members updated ★
helping everyone know what’s going on is one of the most important jobs of a head of media! making sure every single person knows all about upcoming socials, events and opportunities is a top priority for me, so no one misses out simply because they didn’t see a group chat message OR hear about it in time.
★ working collaboratively with the WHOLE society ★
media works best when it’s collaborative. i want to work closely with presenters and other committee members to make sure we can showcase KCL radio in the coolest, most authentic way possible. i’d ALWAYS be open to ideas, photos, clips, and suggestions (…and criticisms about my fonts and colour choices), so the media presence feels like something we can build together!
if you’ve come this far you must be pretttyyyy interested in voting for me!? i’m so excited about the possibility of bringing energy and creativity to the society AND working alongside the other elected committee members! i want to help build a platform that feels current (can’t promise there won’t be any reels posted to the ig stories), collaborative and unmistakably KCL. so if you’re into good vibes and even better graphics… vote for me!
