Why we work with Charities and Charity Social Media
We’ve worked with Charities for as long as we’ve been GleaveMedia, we’ve seen small charities grow and bigger charities work better by having a clearer hold on the Charity Social Media activities, but why do we work with charities?
This is a question that we’re often asked, simple answer is that its in our DNA working with those organisations that ask for help to work better and make use of these new and emerging technologies that they may not have a handle on, this is why we co collaborate on GrowMyCharity.com and you can see from our ethics policy that we put our ethical behaviour at the heart of all we do and how we work.
During this time frame we’ve presented numerous Digital Marketing Seminars across the South West covering such topics as Social Media Planning to how to communicate your cause better – you can see our last nine events on our Eventbrite profile page here and the names of most of the charities that we’ve worked with can be found on the GrowMyCharity.com website here . Also we had our Social Media Award in 2013 that saw the British Hen Welfare Trust walk away with a cheque for £500 and you can read about this on their website here: http://www.bhwt.org.uk/british-hen-welfare-trust-scoops-south-west-social-media-award/
What does the future hold? Well when we started we were teaching charities how to open Twitter accounts and now its far more about engagement of the audience on the chosen social platform and the planning that goes on behind the scenes…
So if you’re a charity and want to make use of a great resource why not head over to the GrowMyCharity.com website and see how we can help your charity or social enterprise grow.
Social Media Seminar and Training in Devon
In late June GleaveMedia presented an all new inbound marketing seminar just for charities. We created this presentation using all our experience in the charity and web sector to be all new and thought provoking looking at the big and small and good and great charities – covering everything from video to inbound marketing campaigns other charites have used and why.
Around 25 charities were present at this lovely venue of Seale Hayne on the outskirts of Newton Abbot and as a general overview the seminar gave an insight into how inbound marketing and social networking can help Charities to:
- Communicate your cause
- Increase your following
- Interact with the community
- Improve your fundraising
- Increase your volunteer base
As with all our training seminar interaction and participation is encouraged and we welcome all charities who want to learn how to make better use of these new media technologies in a fun and challenging way.
A few testimonials;
‘I’ve learning how to use my Twitter account more effectively‘ – Philip King, Devon Air Ambulance
‘Had a brilliant time and have got some really good ideas to share with other charities‘ – Holly, Headway Devon
We dont just make seminar and training for Charities, if you business needs help and direction with your inbound marketing and social media then please contact us for a free no obligation chat and you can then see how we can supercharge your inbound marketing.
GrowMyCharity launches in North Devon
Friday 13th May the launch of GrowMyCharity.com a collaboration between GleaveMedia and Jackie Dawkins. Why you may ask, well we have both been working with charity clients for a number of years and wanted to find a way to support charities of all shapes and sizes to grow and flourish by providing them with resources, ideas and tools.
Our opening event saw a number of charities come along for an opening presentation and group discussion on online marketing for their charities, something close to our hearts, and where we believe we can offer real value and support to charities.
The site and events will grow significantly over the coming months with more resources, information and guests posts etc, please come and join us on our newFacebook page here.
We’d love to see you at the next event at the wonderful Seale Hayne on June 22nd and you can book a FREE place for your charity here http://growmycharitysh.eventbrite.com/
