social media

haricharan1996

Social media refers to virtual communities and networks where people interact and share information. Some of the earliest forms of social media include cave wall paintings from ancient times. Modern social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube allow individuals to publish information more cheaply and accessibly compared to traditional media. While social media can help facilitate information sharing and connection, overuse has disadvantages like reduced in-person social engagement and effects on attention span and eyesight. Moderation is important to gain benefits while avoiding negative impacts.

Campfire Convention

Pete Lawrence

Campfire is a blueprint for social networking which we believe addresses a currently untapped niche in the creative community. It has been devised and is led by social entrepreneur Pete Lawrence, the founder of the successful Cooking Vinyl record label and Big Chill festivals. The Big Chill was well known for its thriving and proactive online community before the current mainstream social networks were established. Campfire aims to be different. We want to build a complete ecosystem for the inspired and imaginative person thinking about culture and creative practice; arts meets science meets activism meets crafts meets funding meets social interaction. It is clear that there exists a large, untapped demographic who are actively engaged in the creative industries, are wary of commercial interests impacting on their social networking experiences and are brand-aware trendsetters and tastemakers looking for something fulfilling, informative and practical, in order to make tangible the things that are presently intangible. Turning dreams into reality. We hope you will find our Campfire circle warm and inviting, as well as being productive and fun. Launch is scheduled for 2015, and we will announce our first event plans upon launch.

Creating Successful Event PR

ashleywirthlin

PR is an important part of promoting events and building a company's brand. Generating PR for events is crucial to their success because PR is less expensive and more credible than advertising. To generate event PR, companies should plan the event, evaluate its newsworthiness, plan for continuous information releases, and use various methods like social media, press releases, and interviews to pitch the event to media. After the event, companies should measure the results of their PR efforts to evaluate successes and opportunities for improvement in future events.
