BataSocial takes care of all social media around the Batavierenrace itself. That means coming up with content, taking photos and videos, posting content and responding to messages that come in via the socials (Instagram and Facebook). This also includes creative projects: for example setting up a Crazy ’49 during the 49th Bata, interviewing teams about their preparation, or painting stones and hiding them on campus.
BataSocial is part of BataMedia and we work together a lot, for example by posting content from BataVideo on the socials and by putting out calls on Instagram that BataRadio then uses. Within BataSocial, we work with videographers, photographers and content writers, and everyone contributes to the creative process of coming up with and creating new content.
We're looking for you!
Your contribution
The most important quality we are looking for is creativity. By constantly coming up with new ideas, we can improve interaction with followers and ultimately reach more people! We are also specifically looking for committee members who are good at photography and/or video. We want to offer high-quality content on the socials and put a lot of time and effort into this. Of course, you can always learn more, but if you want to contribute to this, it helps if you have your own professional camera equipment or at least know how to use it.
Time commitment
From a few months before the Bata takes place, we meet regularly. This can be online, but we also like to get together every now and then, because having a good time together matters too. We schedule meetings depending on when everyone is available; we have no fixed times for them. Around that time, we start brainstorming and planning, so that from about a month before the Bata starts we can post fun content and get the views on the socials up. During the race itself, we start early on Friday morning and work pretty much non-stop until Saturday evening (of course you are allowed a bit of sleep).
