Dionysios is the President of the Oxford Advertising and Marketing Society. He has previously worked as a marketing intern for Enterprising Oxford, offering consulting on branding and strategy, and for Bibliotech, performing market research, helping with the organisation of an advertising campaign, and developing and driving forward a new growth strategy. He has also interned at the Early Music Journal, Oxford University Press, advising on social media strategy and starting the journal’s Twitter account.
He attended the Building a Business Lecture Series at the Saïd Business School, took part at the Insight Into Business Programme run by the Oxford University Careers Service, and studied at the Foundation of Strategy course taught by Professor Teppo Felin at the Saïd Business School. He has also worked as a consultant for The Student Consultancy, advising Jaguar Land Rover’s Human Resources department on fragmented recruitment technology and employee engagement, and as the team leader he coordinated six student consultants advising Oxfam on sponsorship and partnerships. This summer he will be studying Mandarin at Zhejiang University, in Hangzhou, China, and will attend the Antai Global Summer Program at the Antai College of Economics and Management, Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Dionysios studied acting and singing in Athens, before continuing his performance studies at City University London and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. In 2014 he graduated with an MPhil in Music Studies from the University of Cambridge and is currently a doctoral student at the University of Oxford, working on rhetoric, historical gesture and persuasion.
Having founded his own student theatre and opera company, Theatron Novum, Dionysios has experienced first hand how to launch, expand and manage a student company, staging productions ranging from a short play at the Burton Taylor to the first student opera at the Oxford Playhouse in 15 years, with a large opera with 60 actors, singers, dancers and acrobats. He has recently spearheaded the resurrection of the Oxford Advertising and Marketing Society (OxAdSoc) which had been dormant for the last two years. Launching OxAdSoc involved recruiting a diverse team, creating new branding, logos, website and social media strategy, as well as forging partnerships with institutions and companies, seeking funding and sponsorships. The society aims, through events and workshops, to connect students with professionals and support the development and promotion of careers in the creative industries, advertising, marketing, branding, communications and PR. OxAdSoc is now an official Oxford University club and its Senior Member is Miles Young, previously the worldwide chairman and CEO of the international advertising and marketing agency Ogilvy & Mather.
Dionysios has worked for five years as an opera singer, singing in 161 performances in the UK and abroad, participating in 46 opera productions and performing 23 principal roles, and for four years he worked as a stage director for opera and theatre, directing 18 shows and leading creative and production teams in venues including the Oxford Playhouse, King’s Place London and Teatro Principal de Burgos, Spain. He has also taught acting extensively. During his years working in the arts sector he has always been heavily involved in marketing: working with design and marketing teams to produce posters, flyers, websites and social media campaigns, creating company names and logos, and finding exciting new strategies to gain and retain new audiences. Like marketing, performing and directing is all about telling stories, move people and create a strong emotional imprint, and after the end of his doctoral studies Dionysios is interested in pursuing a career in advertising and marketing.
