At Civic, our Gap Year Program is all about opening doors for school leavers with a disability and last Tuesday, those doors led straight into the heart of the Marketing Team. We were thrilled to welcome Elia for a fast-paced ‘Marketing Insider’ session to show her exactly what goes on behind the scenes at Civic.

Elia didn’t just observe; she jumped straight into the deep where we kicked things off with a creative brainstorm for our upcoming International Women’s Day (IWD) Morning Tea, where Elia took over Pinterest to hunt down the best decor and food inspiration. But the real highlight was getting out of the office and into the action. We headed downstairs to Civic Industries, where Elia stepped into the role of professional photographer. She captured some fantastic shots of our supported employees hard at work packing Bao Bags, providing us with the perfect visual content for our upcoming partnership event with Bao&Co.

The morning wasn’t all photoshoots and mood boards, though. Elia also got a crash course in social media management, helping us draft an Instagram story. From staging the perfect workspace photo to picking out the best stickers and GIFs, she showed a natural knack for digital storytelling. We wrapped up the day with a short interview and a photo session in the studio, where Elia shared her favourite highlights from the morning.

“It was great to see how the team works together to bring events to life”, Elia shared before wrapping up her time with us. Having Elia join us was a fantastic reminder of the talent within our Gap Year Program and we can’t wait to have her on again soon!
