Marketers for a Cause

- It's a simple idea; We all get together and rally our social media marketing skills for our choice of charity. This is happening on the day of Barcamp Vancouver 08: http://barcamp.org/BarCampVancouver2008

- In the span of the allotted session time, we will identify the needs of the campaign, choose our tools for the job, and split the workload among all in attendance. Everybody has a role, and if the stars are in our favour, we can launch a campaign for a deserving charity in a very short time.

- Please sign up below and feel free to add any notes, suggested causes, tools, etc.

Potential Nonprofits:

• Open your suggestions!

-The ideal charity is one that will continue to use the tools we build for them, and will appreciate the grassroots effort. It would be nice if the charity was one without the means to create this for themselves.
