Russian Speaking Club (RSC)

President, Event Coordinator & Content Creator

Role
President, Event Coordinator & Content Creator
Period
September 2024 - Present
Company
Northeastern University

Overview

When I stepped into the President role, RSC lacked internal structure, consistent branding, and any monetization model. Events averaged 20–30 attendees, social reach was minimal, and collaborations were limited to one university. I approached the club as a community brand, not just a student organization, rebuilding operations, positioning, and growth strategy from the ground up.

The Challenge

Low event attendance (20–30 students) No revenue model Limited social engagement Low inter-university partnerships

The Solution

Rebuilt internal management structure and defined clear team roles. Launched recurring themed events with catered experiences. Introduced paid ticketing with strategic pricing ($17–20). Built a Telegram ticketing bot and custom payment flow. Led Instagram growth strategy through short-form content. Established partnerships with Suffolk University and strengthened with BU.

The Impact

Event attendance: 20–30 → 60–100+ Sold-out events: 60/60 tickets Ticket price growth: $7 → $17–20 Average video views: 400–500 → 1,000+ Collaborations: 0 → 3+

Strategy / My approach

I treated RSC as a community-driven brand, not just a student club. Rebuilt the club's management and operations system, created marketing and PR functions from scratch, and used content to grow awareness and attendance. Built partnerships with other universities to expand beyond a single university community.
