  • ...5 more annotations...
  • The challenge we faced was how do we increase awareness
  • We looked at how with a simple web cam or flip camera we could share the strongest messages that people needed to hear.
  • most important social media tools can be email and a blog.
  • tools are important for four reasons. They leverage existing investments of time and resources They allow orgs to add multimedia to existing communication channels eg. newsletters They enable easier sharing than existing tools They are sustainable
  • Social media strategy needs to be adopted by the whole organisation not just by someone who is technically savvy.
