Stories have the power to spark movements, raise armies of volunteers, and even change the world. But stories with impact don’t just happen—they’re strategically planned, creatively crafted and designed to achieve measurable outcomes. So once you have the right story, how can you make the most of it across social media, web, and email? In this session, we’ll explore how to use your organization’s best stories across channels for better outreach, fundraising, and impact reporting.

32. Things To Do Right Now*
#SM4NP @jcbivins
• Ask your team and your partners for content (i.e. 1 photo, 1 quote, 1 short phone-
shot video, etc.) when they go out into the field.
• Build your story bank
• Research new tools or platforms by reading Mashable!, TechCrunch, Wired, The
Verge, and other outlets
• Reuse your old content. Not everything you’ve shared is dated.
