Adapt & learn

Your audience may not be who you think

Not just doing social, being social

Being heard is about …

• listening

• putting people before platforms

• matching stories to mediums

• being simple & clear

• being yourself

• speaking as a chorus

• targeting the right people

• integration

• making an event of it

• making, measuring, learning

It’s about turning supporters into team mates

It’s all in the mix

Let’s get social
