Compiled and organized by Kristy Graves, @kg.
Yesterday was our second of three live TweetChats for our Digital Storytelling Event and Challenge (enter through January 31).
Our guest was Nasser Asif, Marketing Director of @See3, a leading nonprofit communications agency, with a special knack for helping organizations tell and personalize stories.
Key things talked about were content, tools, and engaging your audience. Here are a few highlights:
"Even if it's simple, you gotta make the content." -@see3 "Know your audience and what they do online to choose the right tools to reach them." -@nedra "Craft your story strategically to make sure it includes elements that will spur action - emotion, personal connection, relevance." -@nedra "(Create) strategy for engagement and make connections in your marcomm content to fit together your org's meta-story." -@amoration "We think @350 is a good example of engaging on multiple levels. Organize locally, upload pics and videos, and share global." -@techsoup
