Marketers for a Cause
- It's a simple idea; We all get together and rally our social media marketing skills for an important cause or nonprofit. 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 that makes a sustainable difference in a very short time.
- Please sign up below and feel free to add any notes, suggested causes, tools, etc.
Ideas:
- We leverage our social media networks while in session to form the ultimate on-the-fly Kiva Team and enable an entrepreneur(s) in the developing world.
