27. What’s Your Story?
Social
media
is
a
different
animal.
It
involves
a
long
term
narraGve
that
is
ever-‐unfolding
and
closer
to
improvisaGon
than
a
perfect
script.....
What
most
organizaGons
fail
to
realize
is
that
it
actually
has
nothing
to
do
with
your
news
or
services.
It’s
actually
the
“stuff”
in
between
that
gives
us
a
look
at
your
organizaGon’s
personality
and
character
The
problem
is
that
EVERYONE
is
a
storyteller
in
social
media,
so
how
do
you
create
content
that
cuts
across
the
noise...AND....How
do
you
reach
audiences
who
have
audiences!

29. Take Your Event LIVE
Live
Video
can
drive
social
conversaGons
around
your
program,
event,
iniGaGve
or
announcement
The
online
community
can
integrate
with
the
offline
community
Not
all
live
video
is
interesGng
so
think
about
“producing”
content
Does
your
live
event
need
an
event
curator
Plan
your
tech
needs
in
advance
Live
content
requires
promoGon
(pre/during)
