Dive Deeper
into Social
Platforms
Quality vs.
Quantity: Gaining
maximum value
Who we are …
Child’s i Foundation believes children should grow up
in families, not orphanages.
We've proved it's possible to find families for
abandoned children instead of placing them into long-
term care in Uganda.
Now we want to change the lives of other children
around the world.
Who we are not …
A “digital charity” or a “social charity”
So how would we describe ourselves?
A small organisation with a big ambition and a huge
responsibility to do the right thing by the parents we
support, the children we help and the community of
donors and supporters who enable us to exist and
continue our work.
A snapshot of our community
We’re not a “digital charity” but we
have used digital from the outset to
build and inspire our community
Digital channels have enabled us to
build this project together
And allow everyone to feel they can
make a difference
On nearly a £0 budget
Enabling a value exchange
Empowering the donor
Making giving transparent
And allowing us to tell our story
As organisations and ambitions
evolve so do comms strategies and
tools
15
“In a mere two minutes on any given day, 1 million
pieces of content are uploaded to Facebook, and a
half million emails are sent around the world.”
“There’s too much content — and not enough of the
right kind — to reach customers effectively.”
“Delivering the content your audience needs, in all the
places they need it.”
We’re all now obliged to be “social” and
quotes like this are bandied around …
How can we ever be more interesting
than this?
It’s about knowing who you really are
We are unashamed
content creators and
storytellers
We tell our story using video
We keep it real and personal
We share it with our community
Delivered in packages for different
audiences and platforms
Lean
•Have a hypothesis
•Gather data to test
•Target your effort
•DIY
Agile
•Experiment
•Work in short cycles
•Adapt based on feedback
•Focus on improving
If we had to make a diagram of our
approach
Engaging content that answers questions
that they want to talk about and share
that reaches the right people, when they want it
and which makes them do something
Short web pages, video, blog posts
in search, in email, in social streams, on mobile
because it’s informative, emotive or educational
subscribe, donate, tell someone else
And in our heads our toolbox looks like this
Talking of lean – we scrapped our website
and now we just use Tumblr
Talking of lean – we scrapped our website
and now we just use Tumblr
And use richer content channels to support
our comms strategy
Being social isn’t about broadcasting all
your own problems. We want to find out
about others and share what we learn.
And we accept that some people prefer to
be in different places than us but we can be
everywhere all the time
29
There are places we know we should be or
maybe just could be
What do you want to achieve?
Who do you want to engage?
What do you want them to do,
think and feel?
If it works, how will you
know?
But it all comes down to setting goals
and finding data sources
Reach Engagement Impact
How many
people saw
it?
What reaction
have you had?
What
changed?
OuttakeOutput OutcomeInputGoals
Who are you
aiming to talk
to?
What do you
want them to do,
think & feel?
What time &
money did
you invest?
Costs, time
budgets
Web analytics, clicks, Tweet
analysis, comments
Donations, calls and
expressions of
interest
We’d like to tell you this is what we do,
but this is really what we wish we did
Some channels are purely practical
And others just really time efficient
We’re not experts
But what we know is the popularity and purpose of
social channels shifts and changes.
Different goals demand different approaches to
creating, curating and sharing content.
For a small charity been lean and agile is just has to
be part of our DNA.
Supporters prefer real people to communicate with.
So this is what we use / have used …
Twitter
Facebook
Wordpress
Tumblr
Youtube
Shopify
Mailchimp
Pinterest
Storify
Instagram
Scoop.it
Flip.it
Flickr
Linked In
Google +
Chatter
Yammer
… and more
and so on …

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. How we used digital to build and inspire our community For those of you that don’t know Child’s i Foundation I just wanted to give you a bit of background. I thought the most fitting start would be to show you our mission video on YouTube [video] In Uganda poverty, disease and violence are rife – which leads to hundreds of children being abandoned every year. Child’s i Foundation is helping solve this endemic problem. Our mother and baby centre gives vulnerable mothers the support they need to keep their children; our transitional home and family support centre provides quality short-term care for babies; while our placement programme ensures every child in our care grows up in a loving family in Uganda. All of this has been achieved in the last 2 and a half years due to the support and endurance of our worldwide family of supporters who have collaborated to make our dream a reality.
  2. We recognised a massive opportunity for many people to join forces to make a huge difference to a generation of children.
  3. For small amounts of time, love and money correctly targeted, we believed, and still do, and in fact have proved, that a great difference can be made. When people get involved in the way they want to, they are acting to actually create something they can see and be part of. A journey they can follow. Not just putting a cheque in the post, “into a bureaucracy”.
  4. We are a community, everything we do revolves around our community and the connections we make through it.
  5. We do however try to do things differently behind the “give” button. We feel our donors deserve a little fun, humour and creativity in return for their generosity. Our one-off donations were made on an interactive, tweeting brick wall hooked up to an ecommerce backend. Built of course by a group of kind and willing volunteers.
  6. Again our values are upheld. Every brick is equal. Doesn’t matter if you pay £2.50 (minimum due to admin fees) we are so grateful for your donation. The average donation is approximately £40
  7. We also launched a baby shower using the online site “shopify”. We encourage supporters to buy gifts for occasions like Mother’s Day, Christmas etc. for their loved ones. These items are genuine items needed by our babies, mothers and centres.
  8. This is to prove social channels do work. Joey was abandoned in a public taxi park when he was just four weeks old. Before we set up our Baby Abandonment Project, Joey would doubtless have spent his life in an institution. Instead, after just six weeks with us in Malaika, Desire and George, a wonderful Ugandan couple, adopted him. After his terrible start, he was finally cherished by a loving family and had a wonderful future ahead of him. Then disaster struck. On Monday night, we found out that Joey is suffering from critical stenosis of his pulmonary artery – and it was only a matter of time before he would suffer cardiac failure. It seems he is already a true miracle baby – we discovered that since his birth, Joey’s heart has been relying solely on the temporary structures that are necessary for babies in the womb. These should have closed up within days of his birth, but they have somehow remained open, and are currently the only things keeping him alive. We launched an appeal on Just Giving, hoping we could go some way to raising the £10,000 we needed to send Joey for life-saving care. Then another miracle happened – you raised the entire amount in 38 hours.
  9. After all, this is about relationships. We all build relationships in different ways.
  10. Forces us to think about the content and whether we need it

  13. It might become our new favourite place – who knows?!
