Emma Papas
Marketing Communication, 2021
I started my Bachelor of Communications at the University of Canberra almost 10 years ago. When I co-founded my business and moved states, I had just one unit to complete. I worked with the Alumni Team as well as the Communications Faculty to have my previously completed units reinstated so I could join you this year, 2021, to complete my degree.
I am the co-founder and director of Get Merry Ventures, The Merrymaker Sisters and MerryBody Online Studio. Founded in 2013, I have built The Merrymaker Brand from the ground up with a community that reaches over 200 000 people every month.
I am involved in every aspect of the business, from creating and implementing 6 figure email marketing strategies to working with major brands, creating thousands of blog posts, podcasts, to the simple act of going live on Instagram Stories and of course, the business management.
From this strong brand, I have now built an Online Membership with a thriving community, based on a Native React Mobile App called MerryBody.
The purpose and mission of MerryBody is to inspire positivity and self-belief to the thousands of people in our community and beyond.
I am excited to see the online world evolve and grow as we head into web 3.0, I most look forward to learning more about and working with NFTs, the Metaverse and seeing the impacts they have on brands, marketing and community building.
