4. Social Media helps raise awareness & engagement
2012 Research Reports
“ Despite the usage of social media amongst most charities, [and the]
opportunities for collaborative networking and developing the lifetime
value of supporters through social relationships, many charities are not
creating fully integrated communities of purpose as social organisations”
“Many [charities] don’t have a strategy to actively engage with and grow
communities of interest as integrated networks, and social media is mostly
a conventional marketing initiative being delivered through new channels.”

9. Social Media is like the first day of school..
THE
FIRST
DAY
IS
THE
HARDEST
Its
not
just
how
many
people
‘like’
or
‘follow’
you
that
makes
you
popular
its
what
they
say
about
you
behind
your
back
So,
how
did
I
find
that
image?
Actually...
How
did
that
image
find
me?
1. It
was
part
of
an
ar.cle
in
Psychology
Today.
A
website
that
I
do
not
visit
2. Someone
in
my
Facebook
network
read
the
ar.cle
on
the
Psychology
Today
website
and
commented
at
the
boAom
of
the
ar.cle
3. Someone
in
her
network
coincidentally
also
read
the
ar.cle
in
Psychology
Today,
and
then
saw
her
comment
4. This
person
then
posted
the
ar.cle
onto
Facebook,
tagging
the
person
in
my
network,
who
commented
again
in
her
facebook
feed...
5. ...
So
I
saw
the
image,
and
the
associated
ar.cle
on
the
Evolu.onary
Mismatch
of
Schools
Today
