The Department of Sponsorship and Management or DoSM as we know it, proved their mettle yet again by bringing in an incredible amount of sponsorship for the fest. This year they managed to confirm the smartphone giant Oppo and telecom behemoth Jio along with other players in their fields. They’ve already leapfrogged the benchmark set by the last year’s events and are looking to raise the bar for the upcoming years. This year, like the preceding ones but with more emphasis, sponsors were strategically chosen to smoothen the pitching process. As for the team, it is touted to be one of the best teams ever, with experienced and talented seniors eagerly heading a team of fervent sophomores and freshmen to make ATMOS the best it can be.
The Department of Arts and Deco is working day and night in order to beautify our already stunning campus in the colours of this year’s theme for the ATMOS: A Neon Dystopia. Their squad, comprising of motivated freshers guided by experienced seniors are all set to make a mark on the fest with their unreal artefacts and creativity gracing every turn and corner of the campus, making it one of the best ever decorations. This year, the department also took an inspiring initiative and called out for waste materials such as plastic bottles from the entire campus and swore to put it all into use by using them for the decoration purposes. Now that’s what you call “celebrating responsibly”.
The Department of Publicity and Public Relations continues to amaze everyone with their professionalism and sheer brilliance this year as ATMOS inches closer every day. According to the CoStaan of the department, the PR database has improved compared to the preceding year with nearly 350 people registering themselves as Campus Ambassadors for their respective colleges, showcasing the reach of the fest. He credits all of this to crafting of suitable strategies and executing them well ahead of time to avoid any last moment hassles. The department also managed to bring the fest under the spotlight by publicising it via various print (e.g. Sakshi), virtual and social media platforms, not to mention the college visits they’re doing to expand the local reach. This year’s team of DePP is doing a commendable job to ensure the grand success of ATMOS.
The Department of Professional Events, also known as DoPE on campus, has some amazing pro-shows lined up for this ATMOS. From contacting the artists till the signing of the contract, this department had a lot of work etched out this ATMOS. All the members of the department seem to be working double time as they keep confirming great artists for the events. With big names, such as Rahul Subramaniam and The Local Train all set to perform in our campus, the footfall is expected to increase. The newly created department has started their work on an amazing note and has set the bar high for future fests.
DoTA has definitely outdone itself this fest. They had been entrusted with the huge responsibility of the ATMOS website and the posters for the fest, and they delivered with work surpassing all expectations. With the absolutely unique ATMOS website becoming one of the main points of interest for the fest, credit needs to be given where it’s due; DoTA has more than earned it with their achievements this time. The posters released online are attracting a large audience, thus increasing the outreach of ATMOS. Their job, this ATMOS, has been completed with flair and time to spare.
