The document discusses Albany Associates' approach to tackling violent extremism in Africa through communication. It outlines that violent extremist groups like al Shabaab, Boko Haram, and ISIS use media to recruit. Albany Associates' approach involves assessing local issues, developing alternative narratives, delivering actionable outcomes through local partners, innovating with new technologies and actors, sustaining efforts through coaching, and evaluating progress through feedback. The approach examines extremist narratives and the information ecology to understand how narratives spread and determine the most influential communication channels to deliver counter-narratives.

EMG Webinar: Beyond the Demographic: Using Psychographic and Ethnographic Dat...Earthbound Media Group
For decades, marketers and advertisers have used demographic profiling to target consumers. But focusing solely on this traditional targeting tactic may be a waste of precious time, money, energy and opportunities for meaningful engagement. By considering how the social and mobile landscapes have impacted the consumer’s ability to commune in new and personal ways we can discover how demographic profiling alone is ineffective. The webinar will explore EMG’s hand- crafted methodologies in collecting, measuring and responding to new data sets, live behaviors and critical brand sentiment that have allowed us to target and personalize campaigns and web experiences within a diversity of industries including higher education, healthcare and entertainment.
Join us as we introduce and explore how you can evolve your approach to profiling and segmenting audiences to increase impressions, shares, adoptions and conversions.
In this webinar you will learn how to:
1. Think beyond demographic profiling and why it is fiscally beneficial to do so

4. Craft engaging and personalized web features and experiences
5. Measure the success and efficiencies of your new marketing tactics

The social web is constantly posting, uploading, sharing and ranting-about your brand. By these actions, consumers post and update their needs, desires and complaints across forums, microblogs like Twitter and social networking sites such as Facebook, Foursquare and LinkedIn, for all to view.
Consumers are finally in control, and they have become the programmers, shaping their own experiences by interacting with our brands when they want, where they want, and how they want. Successful marketers need be at every touch point to connect with them. Maintaining an on-going positive relationship with your consumers, partners and prospects is critical to any brands long term success. Today, companies must be a part of the consumer dialogue. This session will discuss sideways marketing tactics that revolve around removing friction, noise in a crowded space and uncertainty for consumers. Find out how to create a customer engagement and brand management strategy by leveraging media such as print, Internet, mobile, social, video, and location-based advertising.
This presentation was given at BrightonSEO and talks about the elements that make content Newsworthy.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

CONCLUSION
Narratives can be born via a huge variety of channels, technology is only a
factor as narratives will develop anyway. But by understanding the extremist
narratives deployed and promoting local holistic solutions through the prism
of communication we can work towards the prevention of violent
extremism.
My name is Fatma Ahmed and I am currently the Africa Director of Albany Associates, an international company which uses communication to solve complex problems in challenging environments.
My presentation is focused on drawing on Albany’s experience in tackling violent extremism using technology, innovation and communication. For the next 10 minutes I will focus on concrete examples and projects that I have designed and implemented in Africa using Communication, Innovation and Technology to Prevent Violent Extremism and build resilience from the grassroot level.
Violent extremism
Our approach to supporting Prevention of Violent Extremism is through a comprehensive approach to promote local resilience. Our six step approach focuses on:
Assess - Develop - Deliver - Innovate - Sustain - Evaluate
At the heart of this approach is communication as we understand the crucial role it plays to the recruitment and radicalisation of vulnerable communities and youth at the grassroot level.
This approach allows us to equip, empower and encourage content and narratives which challenge violent extremism.
The role of communication in PVE.
We start by first trying to understand the narrative of the extremist are deploying and their tactic. Using Somalia as an example, one of our projects classified six predominate narrative categories used for recruitment.
