Content Description

Whether it goes by the name Viral Marketing, Network Marketing, Social Marketing, Flipping the Funnel, or even old school Community Organizing, activists and fundraisers are understandably excited about the power that networks have to carry their message for them. It's not enough to imitate commercial successes. Rather, civil society organizations are uniquely positioned to take advantage of the elements of trust, passion and community that are the ingredients of successful social marketing. This ninety minute online seminar includes these lessons:

Our goal will be to combine high level strategies that you can apply over time with some tactics that you can apply immediately. Don't invest in complex and expensive media just to see a campaign fizzle. Instead, learn how to light a fire online.
 

Our seminars are intended for the professional staff of nonprofit organizations, specifically those working in communication, fundraising, or technology. Our packages tend to be tightly focused on a particular professional field and our seminars deliver lessons that can be immediately applied within a particular professional's field of authority.
