My name is Ruby Richardson, and I would love to be Lippy’s Head of Marketing. Being a loud and expressive person, when I’m passionate about something, I want everyone to know about it. Having been actively involved with Lippy for a year, as a member and subeditor, the immense creativity and kindness of the community has fueled me to apply.

In addition to living on Instagram reels and having an unhealthy awareness of trends, I have experience regularly posting on social media to promote three radio shows I've co-hosted. I have a true passion for assistance and promotion, evidenced by my time as a Bernardos ‘Voice and Influence’ council member, where I’d aid in advertising mental health services to large groups and conferences of a range of ages and communities. I value the feeling of accomplishment that comes with being a subeditor for Lippy’s Leeds submissions, regularly seeing articles grow from their drafts to being online or in print. The position has also allowed me to improve my attention to detail and organisation, skills imperative to the Head of Marketing position.

As Head of Marketing, I would want to increase Lippy’s social media presence, interacting with the community more often to frame the society as more approachable. I think there should be a bigger focus on the content of the magazine, with opportunities for poets and writers to be spotlighted on TikTok with readings and small video essays to draw people into the website.

I hope you will consider me for the role of Lippys Head of Marketing. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out on Instagram @Ruby.Richards0n!
