Social Media to Build Rotary Participation

Last year [at Podcamp Halifax 2013] I posed the question: Why does a toilet paper company have more followers than you? (Seriously, why?). Are soap and coffee in competition with each other? What are big brands doing on social media now? After a year, have our example brands’ strategies changed? Are they farther ahead? We’ll see what our old friends at Charmin are up to online, and move things in the direction of usefulness and see some innovative and interesting things brands are doing online. Let’s have another good discussion about things like: do these strategies make sense? What would you do? What will they be doing next year? Can marketing be interesting or useful beyond pushing ads at you? Intrigue and insight awaits! Useful tactics? Hope for a better future? We’ll see…

Nonprofits get 30% or more of their individual donations in December, so how can you be sure to get your piece of the pie? In this webinar, I explored ten steps you can take to plan a year-end campaign that celebrates your donor's support, catches her eye, pulls on her heartstrings, and seals the deal with a generous gift. Through examples from various nonprofits and a year-end case study, I shared tips on building a stronger year-end campaign that takes inspiration from your brand, leverages the most recent best practices, and carries your story strategically across multiple channels.

U.S. Public Relations Consultant, Alan Weinkrantz' nsights on Story Telling and Branded Content Strategies for 2013. Weinkrantz's core premise of the discussion will be based on studying and playing music for the last 50 years, with his belief sets about music being the original code with great story telling. What Weinkrantz sees today in most startups is great code, great UI and little and generally no story telling. He will discuss the art of story telling in the context of a building and sustaining a startup and its role in adding value to a company. Visit: http://www.alanweinkrantz.com or email Alan - alan@weinkrantz.com Story telling, having a voice, and the on-going narrative is a reflection of the startup's heart and soul. It also becomes the body of work which will help the startup recruit talent, gain investors, attract customers, build partnerships and be discovered by the media. It is the later that he will focus on. This discussion will not be about how to pitch media, but rather, how to prepare yourself to best work with the media by having not only a great product or service, but a body of work that will separate you from your competitors.

Representatives from Dominos, JetBlue, Ebay, and Intuit sat on the panel and provided great insights in their corporate use of Twitter. Also, thanks to all the great people who voted for the Open Brand 'unconference' session to make this happen. Presentation Description: Twitter is pushing radical transparency on brand management. Check out recent corporate case studies in Twitter use, and learn key strategies/practices in Social Media. If you've heard me speak before, I added some new content in this presentation specific for the Twitter audience: Twitter-specific case studies and reorganized/focused slides on the key Twitter concepts.

As a public center for learning, research and discovery, how can we advance and find new purposes and missions for the public library? The San Antonio Public library embarked on a new initiative to create Cafe Commerce – a 10,000 square foot resource and learning center focused making entrepreneurship easier, and to strengthen the support infrastructure for small business owners. In collaboration with Accion Texas, the nation's largest microlender, Cafe Commerce was created and launch in June 2014. Licensing content and programming from The Kaufman Foundation, as well as creating its own events and tapping into local mentors, Cafe Commerce became a center for new business creation and inspiration. In this fireside chat, Alan Weinkrantz will interviewed Cafe Commerce President, Peter L. French, on lessons learned, best practices, and how other libraries can create similar resource centers focused on startup and entrepreneurial ecosystems in their community.
