 ### Please outline all aspects (both digital and non-digital) of your communication and publicity this year. (max 800 words) 
 #### 14 points
 
+For publicity we use a variety of methods as the year progresses.  
+
+* Class Presentations
+* Word of Mouth
+* C&S Fair
+* Posters
+* Discord
+* Instagram
+* Email
+
+#### Class Presentations
+At the start of the year we contact some of the prior lecturers we have had who we are on friendly terms with and ask if we can use 5-10 minutes of one of their classes to talk about Computer Society.  
+We typically use these presentations to inspire the students.  
+Since our events cover hardware, software, electronics and industry contacts, some of which are hard to come across during the normal coursework we often finds it falls on curious ears.
+We do cool but niche and nerdy stuff that many of the students find fascinating.
+
+#### Word of Mouth
+One of our most powerful tools for publicity is word of mouth.  
+Its all good and grand when we go up on stage and give a presentation, but its so so much better when its a classmate or friend doing the same.  
+Folks will often go "My friend would love this, I'll bring them to that next event".
+
+#### C&S Fair
+The C&S Fair is an event run by C&S to promote all Clubs and Societies.  
+It allows prospective members to meet the committee, see some of the stuff we have to show off as well as ask questions.  
+
+We have found that setting up near interest adjacent Clubs/Societies such as Games Development, Games and Anime & Manga does wonders to introduce folks to Computer Society.  
+United we thrive.
+
 #### Posters
+For many events we commission posters from out PRO(s).  
+These are often used in our email and Discord announcements.  
+For major events we will print some out and hang them around the campus, sometimes in "interesting" places.
+
+YOu can find an archive of 2023/2024 posters here: https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Computer_Society/open-goverance/src/branch/main/Events/2023-2024/Posters
+For 2024/2025 they are alongside the event pages (jpeg and png): https://forgejo.skynet.ie/Computer_Society/open-goverance/src/branch/main/Events/2024-2025
 
 #### Discord
+On our Discord (https://discord.skynet.ie) we have two announcements channels, one for general Society events as well as another specifically for Skynet.  
+This is the best place we can promote events to our current members since almost all of our active membership are on it.
 
 #### Instagram
+Instagram is good for reaching outside our core demographics, specifically when we are doing collab events with other Clubs/Societies.  
+The posters are extremely useful for this as well.
 
 #### Email
+Our final form of communication is Email.  
+While it is not as fancy as Discord or Instagram it is reliable, it has worked for 33 years and will work for 33 more.
