Coordination and Creativity come through loud and clear from latest NFPTweetup

  • Mon 20th Sep 2010, Rachel

I wanted to share a link to this post from Kevin Baughen, where he talks about the useful learnings he took away from the two great presentations we had at the event from the British Heart Foundation and RAF Benevolent Fund.

To quote from Kevin’s post, these learnings were:

  1. Coordination of activity across social media platforms and other activities is vital to generating the most benefit
  2. Creativity and a compelling story still capture the attention and imagination of audiences
  3. Both these charities will continue activity beyond the core event

Thank you to Kevin for adding these insights.  You can read Kevin’s full post here and follow him on Twitter @kevbaughen.

Oh, and if you haven’t already done so, don’t forget to tell us what you thought of the event, and help us to make the next one even better, by completing the survey.  Thanks!

NFPtweetup 8: RAFBF 1940 chronicle

  • Fri 17th Sep 2010, dan

First and foremost a big thank you to everyone who attended the NFPtweetup on Wednesday – and thanks to British Heart Foundation for being a wonderful host.  The event was a great success with 102 of you turning up in the end, making it the biggest NFPtweetup so far!

For those who weren’t able to make it, we’ll be sharing insights from the presentations and break out groups soon. In the mean time, here’s a video of Yvonne Struthers presenting the RAFBF 1940 chronicle campaign.

Comments on the night included:

‘@Kevbaughen: @RAFBF blazing a trail and experimenting with different rich characters on social media.’

‘@zoeamar: @RAFBF very inspired after your presentation at #NFPtweetup . Your 1940 campaign is brilliant and has a great look.’

‘@paulhenderson: love the @RAFBF 1940 campaign builds gradually, subtle approach and great characters that bring a 70 year old story to life.’

Rebekah has captured all the tweets from the evening and we will be sharing these on this blog soon.

Remember to look out next week for a series of posts giving an in depth overview and analysis of each presentation and guest bloggers’ insights from the event.
