http://www.flickr.com/photos/wwworks/3058182308/ Social media is transforming how nonprofits do their work and relate to external audiences. Strategic use of social media allows organizations to reach new people and bring added value to social change-driven work. A social media strategy is a powerful way to spread your advocacy messages, attract new members and donors, and increase awareness of your brand throughout the community. But how do you get started? A best practice is thoughtful experimentation…. but what fun is that to do it alone? Remember those hands-on science experiments in elementary school? Well, that’s what we’re going to be doing together – hands-on experiments, low-risk, high learning. This is an intimate, laboratory for a maximum of 12 like-minded, children-focused organizations in California.
Understand the basics of designing an effective social media strategy that supports and enhances their communication objectives. Have designed and implemented a low risk experiment that provides an opportunity for learning best practices for using Listening/Twitter/Facebook that supports their strategic objectives. Have a methodology for learning and improving a social media strategy through thoughtful experiments and analyzing its effectiveness. Document and share learning with social media.
