May Digital Charities Meetup

Our next Digital Charities meetup is being kindly hosted by Greenpeace at their offices near Canonbury (map below). The agenda is flexible, but we have confirmed two presentations:

  • Oxfam’s new World Cup campaign presented by Richard Casson & Pete Taylor.
  • Amnesty’s Shell campaign presented by Ben Clowney.

but here are some suggestions taken from last month’s meeting and current events:

  • What are the implications of our new coalition government for our campaigns?
  • Examples of successful viral (or meme) campaigns, and ideas for how we can use them productively.
  • What are the best tools for measuring online buzz? How effective are they at capturing social media chatter, etc?

The meeting will be on Thursday 20th May between 4 and 6pm, with a post-meeting chat in the New Rose, just round the corner from the GPUK offices.

More to follow…

    Hi,

    Agenda suggestion- buzz metrics, which packages everyone used to measure the election campaign. Thanks

      Good one Chloe, I’ll add it to the list. If we get a lot we can vote on how we work through them on the night.
      Cheers!
