"The numbers, Mason! What do they mean?" - Jason Hudson, Call of Duty: Black Ops
But for real, what do the numbers really mean? NUS Product Club Admin elaborates on how the "number branding" really came about for each O'Comm member.
If you've managed to reach this page, congrats on catching onto this Easter Egg! This short article is meant to be "Undisclosed" - only meant for those who are really keen in the nitty-gritty details.
Over the past year, a subtle idea that has been carried out all over our marketing materials was the "number branding" - each member who joins our club has been assigned a number. This number signifies the order in which each member has joined our club, and as of this writing, 40 members have contributed to our club's activities so far, with Arnav (#40) as our latest addition when he joined halfway in Semester 2 after first starting out as our guest in "Lorong Product".
Our 40 members arranged in numerical order
In summary:
We launched our club with the 7 co-founders;
before we started off Semester 1 with 24 members;
8 of these 24 left after Semester 2;
leaving us to recruit another 16 support our ambitious plans for Semester 2.
Excluding Harry and Kayleigh (PVP):
4 are in Operations;
10 are in Publicity;
13 are in Partnerships;
11 are in Curriculum.
In terms of seniority, we have:
2 Year 1s,
22 Year 2s,
9 Year 3s,
3 Year 4s, and
3 Year 5s/graduates + 1 Masters' student.
Home faculties of members:
College of Design and Engineering: 3 students
College of Humanities and Sciences: 15 students
NUS Business School: 8 students
School of Computing: 14 students
The primary major of product management in university - at least in NUS - is Information Systems. With product as a growing field especially outside computing, however, it will be interesting to see if our club can maintain its strong branding presence across all faculties over the next year, especially with the additional avenues that we have now been provided as an official interest group in NUS.
So who's next beyond our initial 40 members? Only time will tell.
