Public Relations

From CoMakingSpace Wiki

In order to attract new members, it is important to manage our public relations both in the online and offline world. This page serves as a summary page to document our thoughts and strategy regarding this.

For tackling social media in an efficient manner, the following open questions should get answered:

  • Which social media platforms do we want to use?
  • What types of content and topics do we want on the different platforms (e.g. I have this idea of "lifelong learning" focussed content on LinkedIn - Ciarans dad jokes might work better on insta or twitter )
  • How can we setup a good "process" which enables us to work together on this content?
    • Ideally, we should try to keep the effort for all of us rather low - in the end, it´s about fun, not about work!
  • Do we want to set up a "posting plan" (e.g. for a series of posts where we introduce our machines?)
