Key figures in charity communications have teamed up to produce CharityComms 2020, a unique and intriguing snapshot of the most significant communications trends of the coming decade.
Charities represented in the initiative include Amnesty International, Macmillan Cancer Support, UNICEF, Friends of the Earth, The Scout Association, and many more.
Participants were invited to write down the five trends they see as the most significant in the coming decade. These points are accompanied by an image that reflects their vision, giving a very personal view of what each contributor thinks lies ahead.
CharityComms 2020 is a joint initiative produced by CharityComms, the professional body for charity communicators, and Bright One, the volunteer-run communications agency for the third sector, linking comms professionals with third sector organisations.
“With increasingly rapid changes to the way we communicate, plus upheavals in politics, environment and the economic situation, third sector organisations need to be constantly looking ahead,” said Vicky Browning, director of CharityComms. “We hope CharityComms 2020 will provide ideas and inspiration to enable charities to tackle the challenges of the coming decade with confidence.”
Ben Matthews, founder of Bright One said: “The combined vision of so many influential thinkers in the charity sector has produced a unique insight into the future of communications. CharityComms 2020 is an open resource and we would welcome additional contributions from anyone in the sector who would like to add their views to those already gathered.”
Communicators operating within the charity sector are invited to add their own five trends and an accompanying image by sending them to Ben Matthews at ben@brightone.org.uk. CharityComms 2020 will be updated periodically as further submissions are received.
Building Participation through Social NetworkingNetwork for Good
Your intern won’t stop telling you that your organization needs to get online. “Make a MySpace page! Create a Flickr account!” Or maybe you have started social networking, but can’t help thinking “Why am I here? What do I do now? Is this helping my organization?” Welcome to the new communications landscape and the realities of building participation – from donors to clients to advocates – in the connected age. This session will explore social networking tools (including MySpace, Facebook, blogs and YouTube) that both enhance traditional forms of connection and information exchange, and create relationship-building opportunities that feel entirely new. Attendees can expect to leave this session armed with practical strategies and tactics about how to start using social networking tools to engage in a personal relationship with users by providing something of value.
