The role of EUTCo’s Publicity Officer can see both incredibly busy and quiet times, but the workload is typically able to be planned out in advance to work around your degree. You will be available to help out on shows in different respects, and encourage people to engage with EUTCo to continue making the brilliant theatre they do. This role is particularly useful if you are looking at a career in marketing or the creative industries, as you can gain experience working with different teams to create an end product, as well as developing your own skills in graphic design.
