WHIP Radio Rocktober 

 

  • I created and promoted Rocktober with the help of the WHIP staff and Street Team, a month-long social media Battle of the Bands competition, and live stream concert in 2020. 

  • WHIP accepts submissions from local artists to compete. Throughout the month of October, WHIP's followers vote for their favorite artists to advance to the next round of Rocktober. The two finalists open and headline a live stream concert and win prizes from our sponsors.

  • I coordinated the Rocktober voting posts and social media promotion within the Street Team and secured one of the 2020 Rocktober sponsors.

  • Station-wide, I coordinated on-air Rocktober promotion via liners and interviews with the finalists. ​

  • 2021 Rocktober was nationally recognized, as it won the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System (IBS) award for Best Station Promotional Event
