Some lessons on best practice
• Publish content under creative commons licensing
• Capture once, re-use often
• Tagging: the secret behind re-use across systems
• Develop usage guidelines to help ensure consistency
• Package messages to suit usage across different media
• Monitor feedback, respond, engage… social media
