Aiming to reach:
Like minded individuals and organisations.

Definition of “Social Media”:
“Social media describes the online tools that people use to share content, profiles, opinions, insights, experiences, perspectives and media itself, thus facilitating conversations and interaction online between groups of people. These tools include blogs, message boards, podcasts, micro blogs, lifestreams, bookmarks, networks, communities, wikis, and vlogs”. (Source:- Brian Solis www.webpronews.com/blogtalk)

Idea:
• Publicise your projects activity through audio or visual content (video or audio file)
• Upload short videos or audio recordings of your project activities and achievements onto free hosting “social media” web sites
• Promote your organisations values, achievements, beliefs and vision.

Could lead to:
• A greater awareness within your community of what you do and how you operate
• Improved communication within staff teams
• Maximising your exposure by utilising technology
• Networking with likeminded organisations
• New clients or beneficiaries
